Navigating AI

Cut through the hype. Understand what's real. Make better decisions.

Navigating AI is a conversation style session designed to help nontechnical leaders confidently engage with Generative AI without the buzzwords, fluff, or fear.

Whether you're trying to make strategic decisions, identify real opportunities, or simply get clarity on what's possible (and what's not), this session equips you with the insight to move forward with confidence.

Why Navigating AI?

Generative AI is everywhere but clear, practical understanding is hard to find.

Too many discussions are filled with technical jargon or empty marketing promises. In Navigating AI, we take a different approach:
Grounded, clear explanations designed for smart leaders who want to engage meaningfully not become experts.

This is not about vague future potential. It's about helping you:

Understand Reality

Understand what Generative AI actually is and recognise the practical benefits (and the limits)

Avoid Pitfalls

See through the hype and avoid costly missteps in AI adoption and implementation

Identify Opportunities

Identify the types of problems AI is well-suited to solve in your business context

Spot Red Flags

Spot red flags in pitches, products, or internal proposals before making commitments
