## Resource

Welcome to Design Talk. In this episode Killian O'Connor and Albena Krasteva from Zartis were in to talk to Masters students at the UCD Michael Smurfit Graduate School of Business. Killian and Albena presented a candid behind-the-scenes analysis of Zartis' initial struggles adopting AI within their own organisation. They went on to explain how their experience has led to insights that shape Zartis's AI deployment strategies and use cases for clients. Zartis is a technology services company headquartered in Cork, Ireland and is an official Anthropic partner, supporting organisations that are building with Claude and Claude Code.
