The Twelve: 01 Monday Mindset

A minute of insights.

This Labor Day spend :01 with Twelve:01, bringing you tools, trends, strategies, and insights to drive continuous growth in the CME/CE enterprise.

Anthropic’s AI Fluency Initiative for Education

In August, Anthropic launched three AI Fluence courses tailored not just for students, but also educators and institutions, under Creative Commons licensing. They also formed a Higher Education Advisory Board chaired by former Yale president Rick Levin, and integrated Claude for Education with Canvas, Wiley, and Panopto. These courses can serve as ready-to-use modules to raise awareness around responsible AI use in educational design, learner interactions, and content development.

Reskilling vs. Upskilling: Similar Goal, Different Paths

Numerous business management reports agree (Management Concepts, TalentGuard, Davron, Hiring Branch): professional reskilling is a critical investment for businesses in this moment. Reskilling involves longer professional development programs and certifications that facilitate employees moving into new roles as old ones fade. Upskilling is a lighter lift, but also an important professional development strategy – microlearning and workshops that help employees to sharpen skills in their current roles. Investment in both helps build adaptable and future-ready teams.

#NextWaveAI

AI Agents mark the shift from conversational helpers to autonomous collaborators. Different from ChatGPT, which waits for prompts, Agents can:

Interpret Strategy: Aligning tasks to your goals, not just commands.
Coordinate Systems: Updating databases, calendars, and workflows in the background.
Recognize Patterns: Learning your style to anticipate needs.

For CME/CE planners, this could mean an Agent drafting tailored gap analyses for review and approval, syncing faculty availability, or curating evidence-based resources.
