AI FOR CEOs
Most companies I walk into are eager to use this. What they actually have is sporadic usage, no strategy anyone agrees on, and people teaching themselves as they go. That’s real exposure, and no clarity on where AI would be worth doing in the first place. Where pilots are running, they rarely show results. MIT puts that number at 95%.

WORK WITH ME DIRECTLY
Private AI counsel, one executive at a time. Two working sessions a month on your actual calendar, your actual inbox, your actual decisions. You drive, I correct, and you keep everything we build. Ten seats, application only.
HOW I HELP
One day, on site, with your leadership team in the room. They leave having built things with their own files, plus a draft AI use policy and a first ninety days everyone has agreed to.
You get a Chief AI Officer without hiring one. We pick the pilots, ship them, and measure them. Ninety days, not a transformation program.
“We actually hired Chris Daigle and his team last week! Thank you for sharing with us your AI wisdom. Great presentation!”

THE AI USE POLICY
Every room I speak in leaves with a draft AI use policy. This is that template: what your people can put into AI tools, what stays out of them, and who owns the call. One Vistage member turned it into his company’s policy in six minutes.

ABOUT CHRIS DAIGLE
I’ve sat in the chair. I know what it feels like to have your people using something you can’t evaluate, and to be pitched projects you can’t price. Most of my week is spent in rooms with CEOs of construction, manufacturing, professional services and PE-backed companies, working on their actual problems rather than a framework.
I host Using AI at Work, which sits in the top 2.5% of podcasts globally, and my next book, Thinking in AI, comes out this year.
