AI in Action — live with David Nilssen.

Built for impact, not the biggest room.

This session is limited to selected CEOs and their most senior leader so the room stays relevant, practical, and useful. Every attendee is reviewed before a seat is confirmed.

The plan for the morning

1. 01

   Leadership brief: how leadership is changing

   A short, direct brief on how the job of leadership itself is shifting — and what that means for how you run the company from here.

2. 02

   Map AI opportunities across four business units

   Work through four core areas of your business to pinpoint where AI creates the most leverage right now.

3. 03

   Choose a workflow and design it

   Pick one high-value workflow and build a clear visual design for how it should actually run.

4. 04

   Build the AI product plan

   Turn that design into a concrete AI product plan your team can pick up and act on.

5. 05

   Build a working prototype

   Build it live during the session, so you leave with something real — not just notes and good intentions.

Presented by David Nilssen.

Co-created with Dave Hajdu and Dr. Brooks Holtom. One or two AI engineers join the session to help you build and troubleshoot in real time.

David Nilssen

Your Presenter

David has built two companies from nothing into category-defining businesses — Guidant Financial helped 30,000+ entrepreneurs secure $7 billion across all 50 states, and DOXA Talent now runs a 1,000-person distributed workforce across six countries with no headquarters and no office space.

A six-time Inc. 500/5000 honoree, two-time TEDx speaker, and SBA National Young Entrepreneur of the Year, David brings a builder's perspective to scale, culture, and the future of work.

Dave Hajdu

Co-Creator · AI Implementation

Dave has spent 25 years at the intersection of technology and business — from Microsoft to co-founding TINYpulse (acquired by WebMD). He founded the AI Officer Institute on one conviction: most companies get nothing back from AI because nobody in the room knows how to lead it.

Dr. Brooks C. Holtom

Co-Creator · Leadership Research

Professor of Management at Georgetown University and former Senior Associate Dean at its business school. Dr. Holtom co-created the leadership curriculum that opens this session.
