Research and Program Improvement
Research AI applications and implementation approaches relevant to small and medium-sized businesses.
Develop reusable readiness tools, assessment templates, process maps, use case documentation, and roadmap formats.
Identify recurring adoption barriers and share evidence-based recommendations with BHive AI leadership.
Contribute to case studies and program outcome reporting.
