Holistic Value Delivery: Shift the focus from individual user actions to organizational ROI. You will identify features that help entire departments demonstrate their value to the C-Suite. AI Engineering: Write and run evals, prototype with code, understand model architecture tradeoffs, use AI agents to automate your work, and use LLMs with MCPs.
