Inspire

AI exposure for leaders and boards.

Demos, webinars, and speaking engagements for organisations deciding whether AI applies to them. Sized in hours, not weeks. The output is a room that leaves understanding what AI does, and just as importantly, what it does not.

Why Inspire

The cheapest move when no one in the room has used AI yet.

Before an organisation can decide what to build with AI, the decision-makers need to have actually seen one work, on something close to their own data, in front of their own eyes. Demos, webinars, and speaking engagements are the lowest-cost way to clear that gap.

We tailor every Inspire engagement to your sector and audience. A board needs different answers than a leadership offsite; a conference keynote needs different answers than an internal lunch-and-learn. None of these are interchangeable, and we price them separately for that reason.

Offers in this family

Three shapes for an Inspire engagement.

Each one is priced independently. Most clients pick one; occasionally two together (a demo for the board, then a webinar for the wider organisation).

Offer · Half-day

AI Demo

A live demonstration of an AI capability built around something you actually do, your own data, your own workflow, your own vocabulary. The point is not to impress the room; the point is to let the people in it form their own view.

  • Tailored to one specific workflow or document type you choose
  • Walked through live with the leadership team or board
  • Includes a working prototype you can re-run yourselves
  • Written debrief with what worked, what did not, and why

Offer · 60 to 90 minutes

AI Webinar

A live or recorded talk on a specific AI topic: practical applications in your sector, the difference between hype and capability, or where the technology is heading over the next two years. Suitable for internal audiences or external broadcast.

  • One-hour talk plus thirty minutes of live Q&A
  • Topic shaped with you, not picked from a stock list
  • Recording delivered for unrestricted internal use
  • Optional written summary for distribution after

Offer · Per event

Hire an AI Speaker

A keynote, panel seat, or conference talk delivered in person or remotely. We speak honestly about what AI is currently good at and what it is currently bad at, which is usually the talk an audience has not heard yet.

  • Keynote, panel, or fireside-chat format
  • Tailored to your event’s theme and audience seniority
  • Travel within Ontario and southeast Michigan included
  • Slides and notes shared with you after the event

How it runs

Four steps, two to six weeks end to end.

The exact length depends on the depth of tailoring and the audience. Every engagement follows the same shape.

Intake call

A short free call to understand the audience, the event, and the question you want answered. Thirty minutes is usually enough.

Brief and shape

We draft a short brief covering scope, audience, length, and the three or four things you want them to walk away with. You approve it before we go further.

Preparation

We tailor the content to your sector and your audience. Generic decks are easy to spot; we do not deliver them.

Deliver and debrief

We deliver the demo, webinar, or talk. A short written debrief follows, what landed, what to do next, what the audience asked that we did not have time for.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions about Inspire engagements.

Is this the right family if our team is already technical?

Probably not. Inspire is for audiences who are deciding whether to take AI seriously, not for teams already mid-build. If your engineers are shipping models in production, the Advise or Learn families are usually the better fit.

Can the demo or webinar be recorded for internal reuse?

Yes. Recordings are included by default and are yours to keep, share internally, and re-use without restriction.

Do you tailor the content to our industry?

Always. We will not deliver a generic AI talk dressed up with your logo. Tailoring is part of the price; if we cannot speak credibly to your sector, we say so before the call ends and refer you to someone who can.

What does the audience walk away with?

Three to five concrete points specific to your business, and an honest read on what AI does and does not do well. We do not sell the room on a follow-up engagement; if the room asks, we tell them what we would charge.

What is the typical price range?

Inspire engagements run from a single afternoon to a half-day. Pricing is fixed per engagement and shared in writing after the intake call. We never quote a range publicly because the right number depends on the audience and the prep.

Have an event, board meeting, or leadership offsite coming up?

Tell us the date, the audience, and the question you want answered. We will tell you which Inspire offer fits, and what it would cost.
