Leveraging Data for Decisions
with Teagan Hollman, VP of External Affairs for KTP and current junior at the University of Michigan
This hands-on workshop challenges participants to tackle a real executive level decision facing modern AI companies: whether to build, buy, or hybridize their AI infrastructure as demand scales. Working in small teams, students will analyze GPU demand growth, cost structures, and operational risks to develop a practical infrastructure strategy over a 24 month horizon.
Designed as a fast paced case sprint with a competitive element, the workshop mirrors how real technology and operations leaders make infrastructure decisions under uncertainty. Participants will gain exposure to AI infrastructure economics, strategic trade offs, and executive level communication in a realistic, collaborative environment.
About the Facilitators:
- Teagan (VP of External Affairs, KTP): My interest in AI began with Data Science, the backbone of the artificial intelligence industry, which allowed me to transition from analyzing data to architecting AI-driven solutions. As the premier professional technology fraternity, Kappa Theta Pi, we believe it is our core responsibility to ensure our members stay ahead of the curve; for me, AI has been the ultimate catalyst for this, acting as a factor that sets me apart academically and professionally by allowing me to analyze complex information and execute technical strategy with a level of precision and speed that would be impossible without the use of AI
- Anthony (President, ABG): AI has helped with the founding of the club, developing the leadership structures, and streamlining many of the basic tasks required to launch an organization, such as building a website and recruitment portal. It has also enabled us to draft governing documents, structure project workflows, design branding materials, and accelerate strategic planning in a way that would have otherwise required significantly more time and external resources.
Light snacks will be provided.
