Executive Briefing
A focused half-day session for leadership teams who need to understand what AI means for their organisation. No jargon, no hype. Just a clear picture of the opportunity, the risks, and what to do next.
The Gap
Your team is asking for AI tools. Vendors are pitching AI products every week. Competitors are announcing AI initiatives. And somewhere in the middle, you're supposed to make decisions about what to buy, what to build, and what to ignore.
The problem is that most AI demos show you what's technically possible. They don't tell you what's practically useful for your specific business. They don't help you evaluate whether your team could build it themselves. And they definitely don't address governance, risk, or what happens when things go wrong.
This briefing gives you the full picture in half a day. What AI can actually do for your organisation. Where it creates real value. What your teams need to get there. And what to watch out for.
The Experience
The centrepiece of the briefing is a live demonstration. You'll watch a business tool get built from scratch, in real time, from a plain-language description to a working prototype in under 30 minutes.
Pick a real problem from your business. A report that takes too long. A process that's manual. Something your team has been requesting from IT.
In plain language, Dr. Coney describes the tool to an AI and iterates in front of you. No code. No staging environment. Just a conversation that produces a working prototype.
The tool that would have taken your engineering team three weeks just got built in 20 minutes. Now imagine your whole team could do this. That's the conversation we have next.
Agenda
3-4 hours. Virtual or in-person. Up to 20 participants.
The AI Building Landscape (45 min)
What's possible today, what's hype, and where AI-assisted building fits in the tools your teams already use. Grounded in what we see across our consulting work, not vendor marketing.
Live Building Demonstration (45 min)
Watch a business tool get built from scratch in real time. You choose the problem. Dr. Coney builds the solution. Questions and discussion throughout.
Strategic Implications (45 min)
How this capability changes hiring, internal tooling, speed to market, and competitive dynamics in your industry. Where to invest. Where to wait. Where to be cautious.
Implementation Planning (45 min)
A practical approach to building AI capability across your organisation. Who to train first, how to measure success, and what governance looks like when business teams start building.
Who This Is For
CEOs, COOs, CTOs who need to understand AI's impact on their business strategy, hiring, and competitive position.
VPs and directors evaluating where AI fits in their function. Operations, finance, strategy, HR, marketing.
Learning and development professionals building a business case for AI training and needing to understand what good looks like.
Board directors who need a grounded understanding of AI to evaluate management's AI strategy and investments.
Outcomes
You'll understand exactly what AI can do for your organisation today, not in theory, but based on your actual workflows and business problems. No more guessing.
A one-page document specific to your organisation: which teams to train first, which workflows to target, how to measure progress, and what governance to put in place. Written to stand on its own, shareable with your board.
The ability to evaluate AI vendors, training programs, and tool investments with real understanding. You'll know the right questions to ask and the red flags to watch for.
I've sat through dozens of AI presentations. This was the first one where I actually understood what it meant for my business. The live demo changed everything. I walked out knowing exactly what to do next.
