Talks
Keynotes and executive briefings for CEOs and operators. Each talk is tailored to the audience and comes with a practical tool to use afterward.

Featured talks
Each works as a 30-minute keynote with guided Q&A or a longer executive session.

How to identify employees who are already using AI to improve real work, then help them do more of it.

For each audience
The core argument stays the same. The examples, case, and take-home material are chosen for each audience.
I research the companies and the problems their leaders are already dealing with.
The case shows what the tradeoffs look like inside a company.
Participants leave with a worksheet or scorecard they can use with their teams.
