Greater Cleveland Partnership · Our AI Commitment

We don't just guide members.
We're doing it too.

GCP cannot credibly help members adopt AI if we are not adopting it ourselves.

We are actively using AI across our own operations — in research, communications, member services, and program development. This playbook is one output of that work. The partner portal is another. The AI Summit, the monthly roundtables, and the small-business cohort are how we are building the regional ecosystem alongside you.

Internal adoption
We use AI in our own work
Research, communications, member engagement, and program development. We test the tools so we can speak to them honestly.
Regional programming
We build the infrastructure
The AI Summit, monthly roundtables, small-business cohort, and civic series are GCP-led. We are the convener and the connector.
Member resources
We built the partner portal
The GCP AI Partner Portal helps members find reviewed local AI partners by stage, industry, and need. Inclusion is for awareness and is not an endorsement by GCP.
This playbook
We share what we learn
This guide reflects three years of direct observation working with member organizations across Northeast Ohio. We update it as we learn more.
