Success story

Bringing a fresh perspective on AI to a client event

A leading IT product and consumer electronics distributor was launching a new product and wanted to engage their highly technical audience with more than just specs. They asked for a keynote that would spark new thinking around AI. I delivered a talk on the future of the job market—from how a new generation of employees will shape work, to the ways AI will influence innovation. The result was an energizing session that challenged assumptions, encouraged dialogue, and left the audience with a broader view of AI’s role in the future of work.

FAQ

Questions I hear in every boardroom

Generic training won'tThat’s why I don’t offer it. Before any engagement, I interview your key stakeholders to understand your specific workflow—whether that's leasing agreements, pharmaceutical compliance, or manufacturing logistics. The examples we use in the workshop will be your real-life scenarios, not generic internet templates.

I strongly recommend in-person sessions for the Workshops. The energy, engagement, and ability to troubleshoot hands-on tasks are significantly better face-to-face. However, for the initial Inspiring Keynote or follow-up Q&A sessions, online formats work very well to reach broader teams across different locations.

Perfect. I don't teach coding; I teach business capability. My sessions are designed for everyone—from HR and Marketing to Leasing and Logistics. We focus on how to talk to the AI (prompt engineering) and how to integrate it into daily workflows like email, reporting, and data analysis.

You work directly with me. I tailor every session to your industry context. I combine high-level strategy (for the C-Suite) with hands-on keyboard skills (for the workforce), ensuring practical strategies you can actually implement.

I work primarily with B2B companies in the Baltics and Nordics, ranging from Retail and Manufacturing to Real Estate and Pharmaceuticals. If your teams deal with complex information, documents, and communication, we are a fit.

Yes. A large part of my recent work focuses on helping organizations unlock the value of their Microsoft 365 investment. We go beyond the basics to show how Copilot can integrate across Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Teams to transform productivity.

Not necessarily for the Inspiring Keynote, but it might be recommended for the Workshops. The most value comes when your team can follow along on their own screens. If you haven't rolled it out yet, I can advise your IT leadership on the best configuration and settings to ensure a smooth and secure launch during our sessions.

This is the top priority for every CIO I work with. I don't just teach "how to use AI"; I teach "how to use AI responsibly." Every session covers data privacy, the difference between public and enterprise tools, and how to keep proprietary information safe while leveraging these technologies.

It depends on your maturity level. 

  • Keynotes: High-energy sessions to inspire and align the organization. 
  • Workshops: Hands-on, practical training for specific departments or management teams. 
  • Advisory: Ongoing support to build internal AI competencies and policies. 
  • Most clients combine a Keynote for the wider team with targeted Workshops for key departments.
