Practical AI strategy your team can act on this quarter
You may have heard that AI is returning $3.70 in enterprise value for every dollar invested. The reality? 8 out of 10 mid-market executives who have placed an AI bet still haven't crossed the finish line to real ROI.
Your team has dabbled with ChatGPT, summarized a meeting with Otter, or drafted an email or two with Claude. But nothing has materially changed because they're using AI as a parlor trick instead of applying it where it actually moves the needle: their people, their processes, and their customer experience.
Based on Shama's Applied AI Business Playbook, this keynote gives your audience a proven framework for turning AI from buzzword to bottom line. No seven-figure budgets. No army of data scientists. Just a clear system your team can start running Monday morning.
The three categories where AI creates measurable ROI.
Most teams are stuck at AI-as-assistant, using it for one-off tasks. This keynote shows how to evolve AI into a true partner that collaborates in real time, and ultimately an operator that runs autonomously.
Your team will understand what's needed for their first 90-day applied AI test, including how to identify their strongest starting point, build a small cross-functional team to run initial pilots, know when to double down on what's working and when to move on from what isn't, and create the documentation and guardrails needed to scale what succeeds.
Discover how to elevate their team’s performance using AI, starting with the areas that matter most.
Increase ROI from AI by knowing when and how to use it, not just where it’s trendy.
Pinpoint their highest-impact first project using a simple diagnostic exercise.
Categorize every AI opportunity across people, process, and personalization so nothing gets lost in the noise.
Apply lessons from real examples: the distributor whose AI chatbot now handles 80% of service tickets, the manufacturer who freed $1.2M in working capital, the outdoor retailer who lifted email conversion 183%.
Organizations that are done talking about AI and ready to implement it. Leadership teams, annual kickoffs, and conferences where attendees need to leave with a playbook they can execute this quarter.
