A shared decision framework for the group that approves AI investment.
Virtual Event
AI Strategy for Non-Technical Leaders
You don't need to understand the model. You need to understand the decision. A 60-minute session for leaders who are funding AI without having built it: what to ask, what to fund, and what to watch.
You don't need to understand the model. You need to understand the decision.
Every week, non-technical leaders approve AI budgets, vendors, and roadmaps they can't independently evaluate. This 60-minute virtual lunch and learn gives leadership teams the decision-making layer of AI strategy: what to ask, what to fund, what to watch — and what to stop funding.
Quote:"The leaders who win with AI aren't the most technical. They're the ones who ask the right five questions before they fund anything."
The session covers a five-question diligence filter for any AI proposal, a funding framework that separates experiments from infrastructure, the risk and governance watchlist every board is starting to ask about, and how to read vendor claims without a technical translator.
Alex Goryachev managed a $1.1B innovation portfolio at Cisco and has advised AI strategy across enterprise and public-sector organizations. A Forbes contributor, LinkedIn Top AI Voice, and Wall Street Journal-bestselling author of "Fearless Innovation," he built the budgets — so he knows which questions expose a weak one.

Why Audiences Love {Alex}
Eye-opening, refreshingly human, and capable of building a shared vision around agentic AI — that's how leaders at Coca-Cola, AWS, and Disney describe Alex Goryachev's AI keynotes and employee innovation workshops.
01
Innovation for everyone
Alex turns AI into practical concepts — not techspeak — that land with executives, HR, sales, engineering, and faculty alike. It's the same approach he honed building university-anchored innovation centers across 14 countries, bridging cultures and generations.
02
Built around your audience
Across 310+ keynotes, workshops, and advisory engagements on 6 continents, no two have ever 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.
03
Value that lasts
Most programs end at applause. Alex's end with deployment — the same frameworks proven inside Cisco, Dell, Pfizer, and IBM and documented in his WSJ bestseller Fearless Innovation. Workshops and advisory install them in your team, so they're still running long after the event.
04
Proven where it counts
Two decades leading AI and innovation where the stakes are real — a $1.1B portfolio at Cisco, three Olympic Games, 300,000+ employees, and AI transformation for Fortune 100s, governments, and America's largest public university system. Every engagement is measured, so you see the ROI.
