The window for early advantage is still open, but closing rapidly. This 90-minute intensive cuts through the hype and equips leadership teams with the strategic clarity, frameworks, and action plan needed to move forward confidently with AI adoption. You'll walk away with a clear understanding of AI's capabilities, limitations, and a framework for strategic decision-making.
What We'll Cover:
Why the Window Is Closing
ChatGPT reached 100 million users 42x faster than Netflix. Full-stack AI companies are being funded to replace incumbents in every industry. Waymo went from 0% to 27% of San Francisco rideshare in 20 months. Even early adopters like Sal Khan wish they'd moved faster. The cost of getting started is minimal. The cost of waiting could be existential.
Why Leaders Hesitate (And Why Those Reasons Don't Hold)
Common objections like "AI makes mistakes" and "you have to check its work" reveal gaps in delegation skills, not problems with AI. Managing AI is identical to managing junior employees. The buck stops with you either way. If you can't delegate to AI, examine your delegation skills in general.
Hiring for AI Effectiveness
Effective communication equals effective AI use. Poor communicators are now organizational liabilities. Strong communicators become force multipliers. Learn what to look for in candidates, how to screen for curiosity and learning agility, and why communication skills are now baseline requirements for all levels.
Education & Cultural Transformation
Training is essential but not sufficient. Learn how to inject transformation into culture, shift from productivity to innovation, and make reflexive AI usage a baseline expectation. Understand the productivity-to-innovation cycle and how small gains compound into competitive advantage.
AI Council & Governance
Build cross-functional leadership (not just tech experts) to develop policies, select pilots, manage risk, and publish standards. Establish enabling policies in plain English that create confidence rather than bottlenecks. Define what's allowed, what needs review, and what's off-limits.
Vision & Action Plan
Develop your AI vision statement and problem-based priorities. Start with business challenges and KPIs, then apply AI strategically to solve them. Create dynamic 1-year plans that adapt to rapid technological change. Focus on forward-thinking mindset and swift action over perfect strategy.
The Result
Your leadership team walks away with a clear understanding of AI's capabilities, limitations, and a framework for strategic decision-making.
