Vista Site Selection, an ancillary business of Vorys, helps companies select the most advantageous and economically viable real estate sites on which to expand existing operations or develop future locations. Vista has always relied on proprietary data and software tools, designed in-house, to provide valuable insights for its clients…making it no surprise that Vista has been an eager adopter of AI-driven intelligence to make its offerings even more effective.
William Floyd, Vista’s senior vice president of strategy & communications, recently had the opportunity to lead a workshop at the Select Oklahoma Conference on Economic Development. During the workshop, titled “AI and The Economic Developer,” William gave industry professionals an overview of practical guardrails, prompting and creative workflows.
He made one thing clear to his audience, however: There is no universal “right” answer. Technology helps but its user must utilize their own knowledge and experience to guide that technology to an ideal solution.
Vista recently published a Q&A with Will on their website, where he discussed the importance of establishing workflows and provided best practices for integrating AI into one’s day-to-day role.
