AI Lunch for Business Owners: How to Survive the Next Two Years

A free, 60-minute lunchtime session on Microsoft Teams. No hype, no product pitch. A straight talk about what AI is doing to businesses like yours right now, and what you need to change to come out ahead.

What we'll cover

How AI is already reshaping small business, with real local examples
What AI can and can't do today: what to trust it with, and what not to
Where it's heading in the next 12 to 24 months, and how to get ready
Thinking AI-first: solving problems around decisions and handoffs, not tools
The opportunity to rework how you deal with customers, suppliers and staff

Format

40 minutes of talk, 15 minutes of open Q&A, online via Microsoft Teams webinar. The join link and a short three-question pre-read are emailed the day before. Everyone who registers gets the recording, so sign up even if you can't make it live.

Who it's for

Owners, directors and managers of small and mid-sized businesses who want a clear view of AI and a practical place to start.

Your presenter

Sam Steele has worked in IT since 2001, including 3 years at the Australian Signals Directorate, Australia's equivalent of the NSA, in cyber operations. He can't say much about that. He can say what it taught him: understand a technology before the other side does. He now runs SG1 Consulting, helping Australian businesses make the transition through the AI disruption.
