  • This guy is at the forefront ……

    After reading Geoff’s book and attending one of his virtual workshops, it is clear that he is on the front cutting edge of teaching leaders how to us AI as their thought partner in driving growth, creating better company culture, and creating better decision making. It’s true for most of us leaders, something like this is easy to delegate, and we should be doing that — however, most leaders are not looking at AI as their Leadership Thought Partner.

    I am all in on Geoff’s work — the future ... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

How a Non-Technical CEO Made His Company AI Driven in 6 Months | Manuel Diez
Q: What does success look like six months in, in tangible terms?
Six months in, success looks like widespread AI adoption across departments, improved predictability of budgets, and the ability to align decisions with the business plan so the organization can execute with speed and precision.
How a Non-Technical CEO Made His Company AI Driven in 6 Months | Manuel Diez
Q: What changes did you implement in the executive committee to drive the AI-driven transformation?
We introduced rules and a disciplined structure that limited meetings to those directly driving the 20 percent, and used AI to pre-interview participants and shape agendas, ensuring every meeting moved toward a stated outcome.
How a Non-Technical CEO Made His Company AI Driven in 6 Months | Manuel Diez
Q: How did the Thought Partner change the way you define strategy and operate the boardroom?
The Thought Partner consolidated confidential inputs from leaders into a coherent AI-driven strategy within a few hours, replacing lengthy consultations and creating a clear, actionable plan that could be aligned with the board and executed weekly.
How a Non-Technical CEO Made His Company AI Driven in 6 Months | Manuel Diez
Q: What was the turning point that moved AI from a project to a system?
The turning point was recognizing that AI had to be a system embedded in how the company runs, not just a tool for solving isolated problems. This led to creating an execution framework and a weekly discipline around AI-informed decision making.
How a Non-Technical CEO Made His Company AI Driven in 6 Months | Manuel Diez
Q: When did you first realize AI needed to be owned at the top, and how did you decide to lead it yourself?
I realized the need to lead AI myself after attending conferences and recognizing that the speed and breadth of AI evolution required top-down ownership; delegating to IT or others would slow us down, so I chose to drive the program personally and scale it through the executive team and beyond.
