Adoption tends to be uneven - some engineers use AI deeply\, others hardly at all - and leader s are often left without a clear sense of whether it is helping or not. Th e gap is not the technology\; it is the lack of structure around how peopl e adopt it.\n\nThis presentation introduces PRIME-AI (Persona-based\, Resp onsible\, Impact-Measured Enablement for Artificial Intelligence)\; a fram ework which will help engineering teams move from scattered AI experimenta tion to a governed\, repeatable practice. The central idea is that effecti ve AI adoption is a people-and-workflow challenge\, not a tool-selection o ne. Because different roles face different friction points\, PRIME-AI take s a persona-based approach: each role receives its own task maps\, curated prompt patterns\, tiered training and clear guardrails - so engineers kno w not only which tool to use but how\, when and with what safeguards.\n\nT he talk will share how the framework came together\, what emerged from tes ting it with real teams and how others can adapt it to themselves\, teams and organizations.\n\nKey Takeaway: The understanding of practical\, reusa ble interview guide\, persona-based prompt libraries\, a tiered training m odel\, governance guardrails and a measurement schema for tracking adoptio n and impact.\n\nAgenda: \nThursday September 24th\, 2026 (times are CST - - for Minnesota)\n\n6:00 PM: Check-in.
