Talks for executive audiences

01

Who decides now?

AI delegation and decision rights for executive teams

For C-suite, boards and senior operators

When AI systems can act without asking, the question isn’t whether to adopt. It’s who holds authority, who sets boundaries and who is accountable.

What the audience takes away
  • A decision-rights framework to apply to real use cases
  • Why governance speeds adoption up
  • A model for sorting decisions between people and machines
02Coming soon

AI adoption without chaos

From scattered experiments to structured, governed adoption

For executive teams, leadership peer groups and industry associations

Most organizations adopt AI in fragments: teams experimenting alone, no shared strategy, no governance. This talk lays out a path to adoption with priorities and accountability.

What the audience takes away
  • How to find and handle shadow AI
  • A model for sequencing use cases with executive alignment
  • Visibility, delegation and guardrails for AI at scale

From organizers

What organizers say

“Chris was the easiest speaker we’ve ever booked. Clear communication, professional materials, and a session that generated more post-event conversation than any other on the program.”

Conference DirectorNational Industry Association

“The session was the highest-rated of our three-day event. Multiple attendees told us it was the only session where they left with something they could act on immediately.”

VP, Executive ProgramsLeadership Development Organization

“We needed someone who could hold a room of CEOs without dumbing it down or getting lost in technical details. Chris hit that mark perfectly, and our members are still referencing the frameworks months later.”
