SUMMARY:AI Isn’t Built for AMS Selection Decisions. Here’s Why (and What Works Instead)
DESCRIPTION:Course Description:  \nThere are some things AI can do\, and other things…not so much.  AI can draft RFPs\, summarize demos\, and analyze notes\, but it can’t understand your members\, your workflows\, or your culture well enough to pick a new AMS for you. In this session\, we’ll separate where AI helps from where human judgment is non-negotiable. \nYou’ll learn a modern\, practical approach to AMS selection that leads with strategy (not feature lists)\, compares vendors apples-to-apples\, and earns real buy-in across teams and leadership. We’ll also show how to blend research and expertise so you make a confident decision that works for staff\, members\, and the next 3–5 years. \n  \nLearning Objectives: \nDesign AMS selection criteria aligned to organizational strategy\, member outcomes\, and critical staff workflows\, not just feature checklists. \nApply a “fit over popularity” evaluation framework to separate real requirements from market hype and shiny objects. \nIdentify the right stakeholders (executive sponsor\, project lead\, cross-functional SMEs\, key volunteers) and define clear roles and decision rights. \nDevelop a post-selection plan that favors configuration over heavy customization and addresses adoption\, training\, and roadmap milestones beyond go-live. \n  \nTo Watch this Webinar on the Media Library CLICK HERE!
