Join peer executives at our Next Big Thing Executive Forum for a candid conversation about AI deployments that deliver on promised results and those that not only fail on ROI but actually decrease morale and productivity.

When: Thursday, April 9 @ 11:00 am ET
Where: Live via Zoom

The Reality: BCG’s research found that 95% of organizations are busy, spending money, and not seeing results in AI adoption. (BCG, The Widening AI Value Gap, September 2025)

Why It Matters: Without the right foundation, AI amplifies overwhelm. People feel busier, not more productive, and adoption stalls. Investing in the technology is the easy part. Closing the gap between AI activity and AI productivity is the leadership work most organizations haven’t done yet.

Bottom Line: Real results without the usual resistance happen when leaders build the conditions for them.

During this forum, you’ll join peer executives to discuss:

• Why AI fluency (not AI tools) is the actual differentiator, and what it means for how you lead, model, and set expectations at every level of your organization

• The most common places AI implementations break down, where overwhelm overtakes adoption, and what change-capable leadership looks like in practice

• How to build an organization that can keep adapting without burning out your people or losing their trust in the process

This forum is for you if your AI investments are generating more activity than results, your people are overwhelmed, or you’re not sure your leadership team has given the organization what it needs to actually succeed with AI, not just deploy it.

The Value Is Being in the Room

The Next Big Thing Executive Forum brings together small groups of C-Suite executives and senior leaders for off-the-record, peer-to-peer, idea-exchange conversations. We cover topics essential to defining, designing, and successfully realizing your “next big thing,” whether it’s a new strategic initiative, internal policy shift, or significant organizational transformation. We charge no fee to participate and make no sales pitch at the event. To honor our “off-the-record” commitment, we do not make recordings available.
