Crawl, Walk, Run: Making AI Real for Your Business 

AI is everywhere — in your inbox, on your LinkedIn feed, and in far too many overhyped sales pitches. Everyone’s promising that it will “revolutionize” your business… but for most small and midsized companies, the real question isn’t what's possible - it's what's practical. 

Join Mytech Partners for a refreshingly real look at how to actually make progress with AI. No jargon. No buzzwords. Just straight talk from people who are experimenting, learning, and making it work. 

We’ll kick things off with a short Crawl, Walk, Run panel discussion — moderated by Nathan Austin, COO of Mytech Partners — featuring three perspectives: 

• The Strategist – Glen Dall, CEO Coach, Apex North Business Coaching 
  Helping leadership define what AI success really looks like and how to measure ROI. 

• The Implementer – Kurt Theriault, President, Allied Executives 
  Sharing lessons learned while putting AI to work in real business processes. 

• The Data Nerd – Nina Adams, M365/AI Consulting Director, Mytech Partners 
  Explaining why clean, reliable data is the foundation that makes everything else possible. 

Then we’ll do what AI can’t — connect. Grab a drink, talk with your peers, and visit one (or all) of four interactive stations where you can see, discuss, and explore AI in real business use.

Station 3 – Laying AI Foundations: From Vision to Value 

Led by: Nathan Austin, COO, Mytech Partners 

Every successful AI journey starts with a solid foundation. Nathan will walk through how to align AI initiatives with business goals, evaluate opportunities by ROI, and build a governance model that keeps experimentation safe and strategic. You’ll also explore how to empower “AI champions” across your organization to drive adoption and measurable value. 

Station 4 – Leading with AI: Where Strategy and People Meet

Led by: Glen Dall, CEO Coach, Apex North Business Coaching

AI isn’t a project—it’s a leadership tool. In this roundtable, Glen shows how leaders can use strategic frameworks to pinpoint where AI creates real business value. Learn how to align a team around clear priorities, identify gaps through the Key Function Flow Map, and make AI work for the people, not the other way around.
