Using AI and Still Feeling Behind? The 90-Day Roadmap to Get Ahead

You're spending real money and real hours on AI, and you still haven't gotten results you can point to. Find out why and what to fix first.
About this Event

Does this sound like your business?

• Somebody swears by ChatGPT and Gemini — somebody else calls it a toy and says to use Claude Code.
• Your team has been using AI extensively but your operational metrics aren’t improving significantly.
• Your AI costs are rising but you don’t know what to cut and what to keep.
• Everybody is using AI differently, nothing is documented, nobody officially in charge
• Some of it helps, some of it wastes hours — and you can't tell which is which

And the part nobody says out loud: you're putting in real effort and you still feel behind when you read the news and see how advanced some teams are — which stings more than never having started.

I know these problems well …

My name is Matthew Grote. I ran AI strategy at Siemens Energy — one of the largest industrial companies in the world — and I watched world-class teams make the exact mistakes I see people making right now:

• Buying tools before developing expertise
• AI Activity without measurement
• No structured plan for applying AI to your most critical business function
• No system for turning AI from individual use into an organizational asset

The same chaos, at a thousand times the scale. And it taught me something I can share with you.

You're not behind because you started late or aren't trying hard enough. You're behind because you don’t have a proven plan for success.

This isn't a tools problem. The fix isn't another subscription or a full-time AI hire — it's a short list of structural moves, most of which you can make yourself, in 90 days, without hiring anyone.

What happens during the workshop

The workshop is built around the questions you're already asking yourself — and every answer is a piece of the 90-day roadmap you take home:

"Is any of this actually working, or are we just playing with toys?" → You'll fill out a scorecard as we go and leave knowing exactly what you have, what you're missing, and which gap to close first.

"Where would AI actually pay off in our business?" → Most teams point AI at whatever's easiest. You'll understand how to use a simple operating picture of your business — the handful of functions that actually drive your results —to aim your AI effort where the return is, not where the novelty is.

"Which tools should we actually be paying for?" → A straight answer on equipping your team: how to go from the free-for-all of personal accounts and stray subscriptions to one sanctioned setup that's safer, cheaper, and easier to manage — without buying anything new until it earns its keep.

"Who's actually going to build this stuff?" → Not a new hire, and not you. You'll learn how to find and grow your own builders — the two or three people already on your payroll who can make AI work for your business — and how to keep what they build from walking out the door when they do.
