What it is. How it works. What you get.
The AI Innovation Lab is a small working group comprising up to eight members keen on acquiring extensive AI expertise or deploying AI solutions within their company. Participants can hail from various functional areas, including communications, marketing, HR, IT, operations, distribution, and customer service.
​
Throughout the year, labmates collaborate following a systematic process encompassing monthly facilitated workshops and ongoing asynchronous support for progress. Each lab is supported by a dedicated lab manager, responsible for aiding the collection, organization, and synthesis of data, research, and information compiled by the team. Lab managers are also tasked with setting up and managing shared digital whiteboards and drives for efficient information dissemination among the team.
​
Every quarter, the lab manager assists the team in curating content and crafting a newsletter filled with industry-specific AI news and insights. This newsletter is designed for the association to distribute to its broader membership, keeping them informed and engaged with the latest developments in the field.
​

Wowza collaborates closely with each association to offer and market Innovation Labs to their members. Members can join through either Wowza, the association's portal, or their Learning Management System (LMS). Associations benefit from a share of the revenue, access to content generated by the lab, comprehensive marketing materials, and additional support provided by the lab manager.
