      SIM Women is a network inside the SIM national association that promotes mentorship, communication, and career development amongst the female members of SIM. We are excited to host our next webinar on Wednesday, June 24th at 3pm ET.

       

      AI governance is no longer just a policy, risk, or technology discussion. As AI becomes part of everyday business processes, leaders need a clearer way to manage how AI is used, who is accountable for its outcomes, and how value and risk are measured.

       

      Many of the challenges with AI do not appear in the model itself. They show up in the business: unclear ownership, inconsistent processes, weak data confidence, fragmented oversight, and limited visibility into whether AI-enabled decisions are producing the intended outcomes.

       

      This session will examine what it takes to make AI governance practical for business leaders. We will discuss how organizations can define accountability, strengthen trust in the data and outputs, evaluate risk, and measure whether AI is delivering meaningful value.

       

      Regardless of your level within an organization, this webinar will help you understand what needs to be discussed and why YOU should be among the leaders navigating AI governance.

       
      Our Speaker: George Trujillo is an Austin Chapter SIM member who leads the ReThink Everything AI Governance subgroup. He is also an independent consultant, data and AI strategist, keynote speaker, and published author. He brings 20 years of experience in architecting data ecosystems for real-time AI, generative AI, and analytics. George helps organizations operationalize data and AI governance, develop digital transformation strategies, master data management, increase data literacy, and leverage real-time and generative AI platforms and methodologies. He is currently focused on helping organizations leverage generative AI and begin the transition from linear to exponential growth.

      AI spending is climbing fast, but value is harder to prove. Uber burned through its annual AI budget in months. Starbucks scrapped a multi-year AI inventory tool. Token-based pricing makes costs unpredictable, and drawing a straight line from investment to outcome has proven tougher than anyone expected.

      Join an AMA moderated by SIM ReThink Everything! Co-Chair Bill Waas, with Billy Boozer, CTO at Dualboot Partners, responding to your situations rather than working through a prepared script. When you register, you'll receive a short issues paper and self-assessment. Come ready to talk, not just listen.

      No vendor pitches. No sanitized success stories. Just honest dialogue grounded in what you're actually navigating.

      RTE typically looks 3 to 5 years ahead — time enough to watch, learn, and prepare. Post-quantum cryptography doesn’t fit that pattern.
       
      The algorithms capable of breaking today’s encryption already exist. Quantum computers powerful enough to use them are still years away. But the preparation window for enterprises — migrating cryptographic infrastructure, updating identity systems, securing long-lived data — is measured in years too. Organizations that wait for the threat to materialize will find the window has closed.
       
      In this session, Dr. Michael Tagscherer, Group CTO at Giesecke+Devrient, brings a practitioner’s perspective that goes well beyond the NIST standards. Drawing on G+D’s experience securing some of the world’s most critical digital infrastructure — across financial systems, government identity programs, and connected devices — he will cut through the noise on timelines, separate what your vendors will genuinely cover from what requires your own active decisions, and share what organizations that have already started look like compared to those that haven’t.

       

       

      Dr.-Ing. Michael Tagscherer is Group CTO of Giesecke+Devrient, responsible for the company’s technological direction and long-term innovation. He has held global leadership roles at G+D since 2001, with deep expertise in AI, cybersecurity, and post-quantum cryptography. He holds a degree in computer science from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), with a focus on applied AI and machine learning. Dr. Tagscherer serves on several technology advisory boards.

      SIM Work 4.0 · July 2026 Session

      The Labor Market Is Sending a Signal.

      Are You Reading It?

      Introducing the Work 4.0 Index — the first composite measure of structural workforce health built specifically for technology leaders.

      • July 2026 · SIM TechLeader Forum ● Live Session + Q&A ● SIM Members

       

      40 / 100

      Current W4I Score Hidden Stress Zone

      25%

      of U.S. job cuts now cite AI — a first

      61.9%

      Labor force participation — lowest since Nov 2021

       

      The economy is growing. Unemployment looks manageable. And yet something structural is shifting beneath the surface — entry-level roles contracting, discouraged workers surging, AI-cited layoffs reaching a milestone never seen before. The Work 4.0 Index was built to measure exactly this. Not the headline. The signal underneath it.

       

       

      WHAT WE’LL COVER

      01

      The Index, Explained

      Six pillars. Two layers — Baseline and Enhanced. Why the gap between them is the most important number on the page, and what it’s telling us right now.

       

      02

      Reading the Current Score

      A walk through the May 2026 data: what each pillar is measuring, where stress is building, and why the trajectory matters more than any single month.

       

      03

      The Organizational Mirror

      How to place your organization on the same scale as the national index — and what the CIO/CHRO gap in your own scores reveals about hidden risk.

       

      04

      What Technology Leaders Do With This

      Board conversations. Workforce planning. Talent pipeline decisions. Concrete decision frames for using monthly index data in your leadership practice.

       

      05

      Live Q&A

      Bring your numbers. Bring your skepticism. The index is designed to be interrogated.

       

       

      THIS SESSION IS FOR YOU IF…

       

      ✓ You’re walking into board conversations about AI and workforce with more questions than data

      ✓ You suspect the labor market is changing faster than the headlines suggest

      ✓ You want a structured way to benchmark your organization’s workforce posture against the macro

      ✓ You’re a CIO who needs the CHRO in the room — and a framework that bridges both views

       

       

      Bill Waas

      Co-Chair, SIM Work 4.0 · Architect, Work 4.0 Index

      The Work 4.0 Index publishes monthly. This session is the first time the full methodology, current data, and organizational application framework are presented together to the SIM community.
