In an era of increasingly complex pipelines and distributed teams, AI isn’t just a buzzword, it’s a competitive advantage. This session explores how External Development Managers and Directors can harness AI tools to streamline vendor collaboration, enhance asset quality control, accelerate iteration, expedite and track legal documents (such as invoices and MSAs), and improve cross-functional communication. From practical case studies to recommended tools, the discussion will be on actionable strategies to lead smarter, scale faster, and deliver stronger results without adding headcount.

The focus of this table topic will be on tools that most organizations already have access to, like Co-pilot (Microsoft), Gemini (Google), ChatGPT(OpenAI), and Iris (DocuSign), so that strategies are immediately actionable in organizations of any size.
