Applying key takeaways to your role​

In this hackathon, you focused on framing a clear ML problem and shaping an initial technical approach. The same way of thinking can be applied directly in your day-to-day role.

Spot opportunities more effectively​

Use the mindset and structure from the hackathon to recognise where AI/ML could add value in your organisation:

  • Look for decisions that rely heavily on data, judgement, or prediction.
  • Notice where outcomes could improve with better foresight or automation.
  • Consider whether AI/ML is the right approach for the problem.

Shape credible early solutions​

Apply what you practised to move from ideas to structured proposals:

  • Frame problems in terms of business goals and success measures.
  • Assess data availability and quality early.
  • Think through pre-processing, feature choices, modelling, and evaluation.

Strengthen decision-making with AI/ML​

Use the mindset from this workshop to improve how decisions are designed and evaluated:

  • Look for decisions where outcomes depend on prediction or uncertainty.
  • Consider how clearer evaluation criteria could improve confidence.
  • Think about how data choices affect reliability and trust.

Action item: Share how you will apply new skills to your role​

Directions: Create a discussion topic and share your reflections on the following:

  • Where in your role could an AI/ML-informed approach improve decisions or outcomes?
  • What data, constraints, or risks would you need to consider?

Don't know where to start? Think about areas where better predictions could improve planning or where data exists but isn’t fully used to support decisions.
