From AI Curiosity to Capability:
Building AI-Ready Organizations
Fort Worth HR is pleased to announce this collaboration with DallasHR to make this exciting topic available to our members.
AI curiosity is everywhere—but real capability is far less common. Most organizations are running pilots, testing tools, and talking strategy, yet struggling to translate that into meaningful business outcomes.
This session explores why that gap exists—and what it takes to close it. From building foundational AI skills at the individual level to enabling organizational and workforce readiness, it outlines a practical path for HR and business leaders to move from scattered experimentation to true, scalable capability.
Babar Bhatti is Co-Founder and Executive VP of Dallas AI, one of the fastest-growing AI communities with 10,000+ professionals. He is Chief AI Officer at Prism Skills, an AI-powered microlearning platform designed to help working professionals build real, applied AI capability.
Previously, he was a Principal AI Customer Success Manager at IBM, advising enterprise organizations on strategy, deployment, and scaling of AI systems. He led Generative AI initiatives involving LLMs and agent-based architectures at enterprise scale.

His broad expertise and interests have led him to both large and small organizations, where he has successfully transformed existing offerings and built new ones from the ground up.
