Topics:

AI at FIs: Building Teams, Policies, and Momentum

Yes, AI’s the hot and sexy topic that everyone wants to talk about, but if you have yet to see a single presentation that actually focuses on the implementation and implications for banks and credit unions, then this topic is for you. Is your FI ready to harness the transformative power of Artificial Intelligence (AI) or are you still considering where to get started? Are you a daily AI user or have you barely touched it? We welcome CTOs to Tellers to join us.

This session, designed specifically from insights from a yearlong AI event series and 20 years of Tech adoption experience, will provide actionable steps to help you take the leap into AI adoption. We’ll guide you through the essential strategies to harness AI, from forming an AI task force or working group to implementing pilot projects and creating governance frameworks. We’ll share real-world use cases—like fraud detection, personalized customer coaching, and marketing optimization—and explore how banks and credit unions are already leveraging AI to stay ahead. You’ll leave with practical insights on navigating the fast-moving AI landscape while ensuring ethical use, data security, and strategic alignment. Don’t miss the opportunity to gain expert guidance from Delve Collective’s proven approach to help you prepare your bank or credit union for success in an increasingly digital world.

Data Successful People Use: Finding Clarity in the Chaos

Successful people are not magically certain; they are better at making smart bets in an uncertain world. They blend emotion, intuition, and evidence—but they are deliberate about the kind of data they trust and how they use it. In an era where AI is reshaping work and flooding us with dashboards, reports, and alerts, the real advantage is no longer “having data,” but knowing which data matters, when to use it, and how not to let it erode trust.

This session explores how leaders can move beyond gut-only decisions and “data theater” to a more honest, resilient practice of decision-making. You’ll learn how to distinguish signal from noise, recognize when data is misleading, and bring qualitative insight and human judgment into the mix—especially as AI tools make analysis faster but not necessarily wiser. Drawing on the fundamentals of archery—where success requires preparing your stance, aiming at the right target, and executing with precision—we’ll explore how to ready yourself and your team for change, aim at the right goals with the right evidence, and execute through small, well-structured experiments that turn every decision into a learning opportunity. You’ll leave with concrete questions, tools, and mental models to use data the way successful people do: as a powerful ally, not a false promise of certainty.
