This half‑day interactive workshop is designed for nursing leaders, informatics professionals, faculty, and administrators responsible for workforce development and strategic planning. The workshop emphasizes how leaders can use environmental scans and artificial intelligence needs assessments as foundational leadership tools to guide organizational strategy, inform investment decisions, and align education with professional standards and clinical priorities. Participants will leave with leadership‑ready tools and exemplars that demonstrate how environmental scans and artificial intelligence needs assessments directly inform organizational strategy, guide competency development, and enable purposeful, ethical, and sustainable artificial intelligence adoption across the nursing workforce.
