Week 8 - MBA 6601 - Continued Exploration

As you continue to look into and learn more about artificial intelligence (AI), be mindful that the journey should be never ending. It is important to keep up with the news and continue to read more and more about AI and its developments. When seeking out AI information do it through different avenues. Access books, local courses, and online, to see what is the best fit for you and your learning needs.

There is a multitude of books that you can access to gain better understanding. If books aren't your thing and you require a little more structure, it may be beneficial to take courses in AI. Courses have the potential to greatly increase your AI expertise. A structured course can help to explain and develop AI understanding better than self instruction can. You can connect with and possibly gain a mentor through a class as well. 

Gaining local access to courses is also important so that the people you connect with are in your community and more easily accessible. Look for well developed programs that are comprehensive and offer certificates or potentially even a degree program where you can capitalize on learning to build your skills and knowledge. Having an award or degree to show for your learning can be beneficial for your career and future endeavors. It is important to know that you can gain the same knowledge and expertise in AI for less money than a degree costs through local programs and self-directed learning. So earning the degree may not be the most beneficial route unless you have something in mind and know it will definitely pay off. 

Always keep your ming open to AI and continually work and becoming more and more comfortable with it. The process is adapt, adopt, adept and you should continue to move through it. AI is definitely not going anywhere, so at the very least stay informed. But at the best figure out how to create it for yourself.

Week 7 - MBA 6601 - Strategy

Image
When you are aligning your strategy with process and measurement, accountability and alignment become two of your best traits. A properly aligned strategy can be effectively executed. Without the alignment there is no way to execute a plan time after time to produce results. Accountability is simply making sure that people deliver on what they said they would do. This is where it becomes important that everyone knows what their job is and what they are responsible for so they can complete their designated tasks and no part is left behind. All tasks are important and must be completed as a whole to execute the strategy. Designing your strategy comes from focusing on what you are best at. So take a step back and think about what your company does really, really well. You will never be the best in every category, but you can certainly be the best at one thing and overwhelmingly known for it. Recognize what your best strengths are and then design your vision and strategy around it.  W...

Week 8 - MBA 6601 - Ad Campaign Reflection

Image
 Overall, I feel like my ad campaign was successful in teaching me a lot of things. I had no interaction with Google Ads prior to this course. Now I feel like I could run an Ad Campaign with little difficulty. Tailoring it to turn profits may take some more time, but I feel like overall I was pretty successful. I'm not sure how many impressions and clicks people usually get in 10 days, but I was happy with the amount I received. Above is the final count. I ended up spending $45.05 in total. Over 61,000 impressions and that got me a total of 152 clicks on my ads. I initially had a $7 a day limit set because of the slow start with clicks in the first 24 hours but when it began to pick up that is when I backed off to the $5 a day that my professor suggested. It is pretty impressive how fast the price ads up when the clicks start rolling in.  I did find the app helpful in keeping an eye on things. It is very user friendly. You can easily change any of the keyword themes or quickly...
