06 Oct, 16:00 Almaty

Almaty Hub | AI Transformation of Operations Management

AI is already helping us write content, analyze data, and find information. But what if it became an integral part of a company’s management system?

On October 6, Almaty Hub will host a practical workshop with Kuanysh Telagys, Founder and CEO of Clario. The session will explore how to turn AI from a standalone tool into part of the daily work of managers and their teams.

Speaker: Kuanysh Telagys, Founder and CEO of Clario.

At the workshop, we will explore:
- how AI can support the entire management cycle - from signal to outcome;
- how to build a Company Brain - a unified knowledge system for the company;
- which tasks and decisions can already be delegated to AI and where human involvement remains essential;
- how to start implementing AI in a single workflow and gradually scale it across the company.

No complex theory or overview of dozens of AI tools - only a management-focused approach, practical cases, and a clear implementation framework.

The workshop is designed for business owners, CEOs, senior executives, and team leaders who want to understand how to use AI not only to get work done, but to manage a business.

📅 October 6
🕔 16:00
📍 Almaty Hub, 24 Zenkov St., 4th floor, Event Hall
