Meet Professor Robert Brunner, associate dean for innovation and chief disruption officer at Gies College of Business! On Coursera, he teaches two new business-focused AI courses, 100% online. “At Gies, I serve as a futurist, translating uncertainty into opportunity. Disruption isn’t something we fear—it’s something we lead,” he says. “I help our college—and our students, alumni, and partners—think boldly about how AI, automation, and other emerging tech will reshape business and society.” 🧑💻 “Understanding AI is quickly becoming a baseline expectation, not a specialized skill,” he says. On Coursera, Prof. Brunner aims to provide learners with the language, tools, and insights needed to stay relevant as businesses continue to use AI to transform the way they work. 💼 In business, professionals use AI for automation, analytics, and customer insights. “AI is already embedded in how modern businesses operate—and its influence is accelerating,” he says. “AI is no longer optional—it’s redefining how companies operate, compete, and grow.” 🌐 AI is everywhere: “You don’t need to build AI to be shaped by it,” Prof. Brunner says. The technology is already being used across industries, from hiring to marketing to supply chains. “Understanding how it works helps you ask better questions and identify better answers.” “Think of this as your AI survival kit—covering everything from neural networks to ethics, with real business use cases woven throughout,” he says. “These courses aren’t just about algorithms—they explore the decisions, disruptions, and business transformations AI drives across industries.” Start learning with Professor Brunner today in two NEW courses from the University of Illinois Gies College of Business: ➡️ Introduction to Artificial Intelligence [https://bit.ly/43EIFEn] ➡️ Advanced Topics in Artificial Intelligence [https://bit.ly/4j3ieNv]

Organization isn’t just about maintaining a tidy space—it’s consistency with good habits, proactive planning, and staying focused on achieving goals. Whether it’s a big project or keeping up with daily tasks, organization is one key to success. Here are steps to keep yourself organized and boost productivity: 1️⃣ Write it down: Whether old-school ‘pen-to-paper’ planners and physical calendars or digital age task management apps and scheduling tools, having your day, week, or month clearly outlined will help you stay on track. 2️⃣ Set SMART goals: Define goals that are specific, measurable, achievable, and relevant. Then, map out smaller, actionable steps to keep you focused and motivated. 3️⃣ Learn to delegate: Even the most organized professionals can’t do it all. Find your organizational allies with shared goals and find ways to divide and conquer. 4️⃣ Prioritize tasks: Organizing your to-do list by urgency, time sensitivity, and importance can help reduce anxiety when feeling overwhelmed. Another way to reduce stress? Include self-care practices in your list to avoid burnout.  5️⃣ Use resources: Seek out tools to help improve your organizational skills and strengthen your commitment to your goals.
