James Waddell is President and Chief Revenue Officer at Cognitive Corp where he is passionate about transforming the built environment through AI. Recorded live at IFMA’s Facility Fusion in Boston, Mike Petrusky asks James how organizations can adopt AI in FM and enable “AI Champions” who are given free rein to experiment to find what works. James believes that AI can be a tool for optimization in facility management by analyzing large sets of data from various sources and providing practical advice. He shares how AI can be used to offload mundane tasks, giving individuals more time to focus on strategic tasks and offers a practical use case to help in energy savings and carbon reduction by optimizing the usage of HVAC systems. Mike and James explore how we should be enhancing our emotional intelligence, which is still a human superpower, as we adapt, innovate and seek to be an Asset Champion in our organizations!
