How is this different from an AI course for executives?

Courses like the university and platform programs teach a curriculum over weeks. This is a live session built on your organization's situation, delivered to your leadership team in one sitting, and ending with decisions rather than a certificate. Many organizations use both.

Who should be in the room?

Executive teams, directors and senior managers, and often HR and operations leaders. Sessions work best when the people who control budget and the people who own the affected workflows are together, because most AI adoption stalls in the gap between them.

Do leaders need any technical background?

No. The session is about judgment, not implementation: which use cases pay off, what to ask vendors, how to spot a demo that will not survive contact with real work, and where human review has to stay.

What do leaders actually leave with?

A shared view of what AI changes in their organization, a shortlist of use cases worth piloting, a sense of what to say to their teams, and the questions to ask before approving spend. Multi-session programs add a documented adoption sequence.

Does the session cover AI governance and risk?

Yes. Acceptable use, what data must never be entered into a public tool, where human review is mandatory, and who is accountable for an AI-assisted decision. It is practical governance for operating leaders, not legal advice.

Can leaders and employees attend the same session?

Chris can deliver a combined format: a leadership session that sets direction, plus a broader employee session on using the tools well. Splitting them usually works better, because the two audiences need different content.

How long is the program?

Common formats are a 45-60 minute keynote, a 90-minute executive briefing, a half-day working session, and multi-session programs spaced over several weeks.

Is it available virtually and in person?

Yes, both, across the United States and internationally.

AI for Leaders Speaker

Q: What is an AI for leaders speaker?

A speaker who works with the people who have to decide about AI rather than the people who build it. The session covers where generative AI creates real value, how to choose what to pilot first, what it does to roles and workload, and what leaders remain accountable for when AI is in the loop.
