Taken together\, this means that approximately 30 percent of Michigan households struggle with some form of the digital divide.  Michigan’s digital equity strategy recognizes a fundamental complexity: no single organization can comprehensively address regional digital empowerment needs\, and that success can only be achieved through collaboration. Jon Willow\, co-founder of the Community Broadband Action Network (CBAN) has closely observed these challenges faced by diverse Michigan community-based entities.  She has applied her deep expertise in coalition research and project management and obtained a fellowship at Michigan State University (MSU) to investigate AI’s role in enhancing community-based coalition effectiveness in solving Michigan’s digital divide. During this episode of Fiber for Breakfast\, Jon joins FBA CEO Gary Bolton to discuss the methodologies and insights of her newly released research report and how the use of AI tools can offer a stronger\, connected collaboration across multiple agencies and organizations. \nWith Special Guest: \n\n\n\n\n\n\nJon Willow\nCo-Founder\, Board Chair\, Digital Equity Practice Leader\nCommunity Broadband Action Network (CBAN) \n  \n  \n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n \n \n Register Now URL:https://fiberbroadband.org/event/ffb-week-13-breaking-barriers-using-ai-to-develop-stronger-connected-collaboration-in-todays-fiber-industry/ CATEGORIES:Fiber For Breakfast,Webinars ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://fiberbroadband.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/FFB_Banner-e1737140608224.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250327T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250327T130000 DTSTAMP:20250312T194839Z CREATED:20250312T194839Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250312T194839Z UID:10000391-1743076800-1743080400@fiberbroadband.org SUMMARY:FBA Presents - Why Fiber Providers Lose Deals—and How to Stop It DESCRIPTION:Slow\, inaccurate fiber proposals costing your business?
