Make your AI offsite the day your leaders decide.
The AI Day is one day: a keynote, then a working session I lead myself. It comes from an operator who ran a $1.1B innovation portfolio, not a futurist with slides.

FREQUENTLY FEATURED IN:
One day. A keynote, then an executive AI workshop.
First, a keynote on what AI is changing in your business, starting with the half-life of skills inside your own teams. Then I stay, and we work: I facilitate your leadership team from "AI matters" to what you will do, who owns it, and when. You leave with a short list of AI use cases your leaders agreed on, a named owner for each one, a 90-day plan that starts Monday, and shared language so the debate stops repeating itself.
AI Skills Sprint
A 90 to 120 minute virtual sprint where each person maps AI use cases for their own job and tests them on real work, then leaves with a team backlog.
Rapid Innovation Workshop
Your team already has ideas. This 90 to 120 minute virtual sprint turns a handful of them into scoped pilots with named owners before the session ends.
AI Workflow Redesign Sprint
You added AI agents to a process designed for people doing every step by hand, so the work still moves at the old speed. This sprint redesigns one real workflow around what the agents now handle.
AI Leadership Sprint
A 90 to 120 minute virtual sprint for managers leading AI adoption on their teams. Each one leaves with the use cases they will sponsor, the questions to ask in 1:1s and a date to report back.
The AI Opportunity for You, Your Industry & Your Organization: A Working Session
Built from your intake. Alex scopes the exercises to your sector's regulatory, competitive and operational reality, then your team spends 90 to 120 minutes online building the opportunity map and a cleared use-case shortlist, with a 90-day plan and named owners.
Most AI offsites end with notes, not decisions. {A team offsite should settle that question, together.}
Your leaders have heard the talks. They have seen the slides. Then someone lowers their voice in the hallway: "So what do we do on Monday?" If nobody can answer, the day was theater.
ALEX, BY THE NUMBERS
Why Me.
I spent two decades building innovation inside a Fortune 100. I ran a $1.1B portfolio at Cisco and built innovation centers in 14 countries. I have delivered 310+ engagements. Of 582+ attendees surveyed on Talkadot, 98% say they would recommend me. I wrote the WSJ bestseller "Fearless Innovation." I speak from the work, not about it.
Innovation for everyone
Alex turns AI into practical concepts that land with executives, HR, sales, engineering and faculty alike. It is the same approach he used building and running Cisco's Global Innovation Centers in 14 countries, anchored at universities and spanning cultures and generations.
Built around your audience
Across 310+ keynotes, workshops and advisory engagements on six continents, no two have been the same. Alex builds every program around your audience's challenges, industry and goals, from agentic AI strategy and the future of work to innovation culture.
Value that lasts
Alex's programs end with deployment: frameworks used inside Cisco, Dell, Pfizer and IBM and documented in his WSJ bestseller Fearless Innovation. Workshops and advisory install them in your team, so they keep running long after the session.
Proven where it counts
Two decades of AI and innovation work where the stakes are real: Alex shaped Cisco's $1.1B innovation portfolio, ran innovation programs for three Olympic Games and has advised Dell's GenAI practice, Amgen and the California State University system. Every engagement is measured through verified attendee feedback.
Your team will thank you
A keynote, a hands-on workshop, a virtual session or multi-month advisory, for enterprises, universities and associations alike. Last quarter, 99% of 676 verified attendees found his talks valuable.
