What did Durham did with AI

In this session, Durham will share how they used AI to:

Conduct risk and SWOT analyses across departments Systematic, cross-departmental risk identification
Analyze performance measure momentum and year-over-year trends Which measures are gaining traction, which are flat, and which need intervention
Evaluate the quality and effectiveness of existing measures Are your KPIs tracking activity or actual outcomes? AI flags the difference.
Generate recommended performance measures Where the plan has blind spots, AI proposes measures aligned to strategic themes
Extract strategic insights from documents outside of ClearPoint Budgets, council reports, external studies — AI connects them back to your strategic plan


As a member of the Alliance for Innovation, Durham is exploring new ways to use AI to strengthen strategic management and decision-making across the organization.
