Somewhere in your company, AI is already at work, whether you authorized it or not. Your people may be using tools you haven’t reviewed. Your competitors are finding uses for it you haven’t had a free hour to explore. And the decisions that matter most, what AI can touch in your company, what it never should, and what it means for people who’ve given you a decade of their working lives, are decisions no one on your org chart can make with you.
Your executive team defers. Your pastor has theology but not application. Your peers are either as unsure as you are or pretending not to be.
AI isn’t a technology question. It’s a stewardship question wearing a technology costume. Right now, you’re answering it alone.
By 2:00 PM you will have drafted the first real version of your company’s AI Stewardship Charter: where AI belongs in your business and where it doesn’t, what you owe the people on your payroll, and the limits you’re prepared to enforce. Written by hand, in your words, at a table with five peers drafting theirs beside you.
Most AI policies are written by lawyers or consultants who don’t know your company, your values, or your people. This one is written by you, led by the world-class brain of JP Poulter, pressure-tested by peers who share your convictions, and finished in a private one-hour session with me in the weeks after the event.
And because conviction without competence won’t keep a company alive, JP will spend part of the morning walking function by function, sales, marketing, finance, operations, ministry, administration, through where AI is already producing measurable results in companies your size. You’ll leave knowing what to protect and where to move.
James “JP” Poulter has spent his career on AI and the people it affects: senior innovation leader at the LEGO Group, founder of Vixen Labs, sold in 2023, advisor to Amazon, Verizon, and Universal Music. He has taught on AI from the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas to the National Retail Federation in New York. His book, AI at Work, releases days before we meet, and every chair includes an inscribed copy.
He is also a brother in Christ who believes what I believe: the AI question is a question about the people in control of it. On September 22, he’ll speak with us, not at us. There is no stage.
Six tables of five in the President’s Room at The City Club of Fort Worth. Doors at 8:00am with breakfast; we begin at 8:30 sharp. A plated working lunch, served at the tables. Hard close at 2:00pm, with James at the door signing your copy of AI at Work as you leave. Named place cards, and a roster book with every attendee’s bio waiting at your seat. No back row, because there isn’t one.
A chair is $1,195, invoiced upon acceptance. It covers the full day, breakfast and lunch, your inscribed copy of AI at Work, and the private follow-up session with me to finish your charter. There is no fee to apply. The application takes about ninety seconds, I read every one personally, and you’ll hear from me within 48 hours.
Questions first? Call me: 817.602.7035.
