PMI Austin Chapter Meeting (In-Person) - From Scattered Context to Strategic Capacity: Build Your AI-Assisted Personal Operating System

What you'll hear about:
In this PMI Austin Chapter Meeting, Edwin Sequeira will introduce attendees to his creative four-layer Personal Operating System (Capture, Context, Retrieval, and Generation) for their own work. Using an anonymized case study, attendees will learn how to set up a governance screen addressing data sensitivity, verification burden, and reversibility. Over the session he will cover how to identify tasks suitable for AI assistance, what you should ideally keep manual, and how his early experiment versions that led to eventual success.
Attendees will leave with the ability to create their own 30-day experiment that will teach them to spend less time reconstructing information and more time making sound decisions.
You'll learn how to:
- Map one recurring project workflow across the four Personal Operating System layers.
- Approved information sources for creating an A.I. assisted first drafts for recurring project artifacts.
- Draft a 30-day implementation experiment with observable success metrics.
Key takeaways:
- A 30-day experiment plan that can be adapted to organizational tolls and policies.
- A new method for selecting a high value workflow without connecting everything at once.
- Lessons Learned from a demonstrative before-and-after PM case study.
- A governance screen for deciding when and how AI should assist with a task.
- A verification practice based on source evidence and human approval.
