Everyone knows AI is important — the hard part is knowing where to start. In this session, Charlie Apigian, AI Practice Leader at LBMC, walks through a practical, repeatable set of steps for building an AI strategy that can jumpstart your company or your own personal AI journey. The same approach scales from an individual trying to get more capable with AI to an organization ready to put it to work, and attendees will leave with a clear first move they can make right away.
By the end of the session, attendees will be able to:
Follow a simple, repeatable set of steps to start (or restart) an AI strategy
Identify where AI creates real value for their organization and map a realistic first roadmap
Apply those same steps to their personal AI journey — building skills and habits that compound over time
Separate genuine opportunity from hype and avoid the most common first-step mistakes
