Event Overview

This hands-on workshop with Wade Wyant shows leaders how to use AI as a strategic partner in leadership and execution.

Grounded in a real-world case study of a company that scaled from $100 million to $450 million in annual revenue, this session reveals how a contained AI model was integrated into the company’s leadership strategy. Over three years, this AI-powered approach streamlined decision-making, aligned execution across teams, and uncovered insights that would have otherwise gone unnoticed.

You’ll learn the exact frameworks and tools used in that transformation—and how to apply them within your own organization.

Why This Workshop Is Valuable

✅ It’s Practical – Built from real-world case studies and includes a workbook packed with templates and tools.
✅ It’s Scalable – Learn frameworks that evolve with your organization.
✅ It’s Strategic – Go beyond ideation and embed AI at the execution level.

In this workshop, leaders will learn to build and implement a contained AI model that becomes a strategic partner in decision-making, planning, and execution. Grounded in proven frameworks, you’ll see how to train AI to reflect your company’s strategy, align your teams, and accelerate execution — making AI a leadership multiplier, not just a tool.
