The Window: Practical AI for Twin Cities Businesses
About this Event
Your people started using AI on your company data before anyone decided how. By late 2025, about 41% of American workers were using generative AI at work — but only about 18% of firms had adopted it. That gap is the window. One side is still open. The other has already closed.
In 35 minutes, Bill Schneider covers what's actually happening at the AI frontier, why smaller companies still hold a real advantage, and what to do in the first ninety days — readiness, literacy, and data governance.
You'll leave with a clear read on which AI risks are already live in your business, five habits that transfer across every AI tool as the tools keep changing, and a plan you can start on Monday without hiring anyone.
For owners, presidents, and senior leaders of Twin Cities companies — and the attorneys, accountants, and advisors who counsel them.
