Speaker on Digital Marketing and AI

• About: Professor of Applied AI at CSTU. Author of 22+ Books, 7 Amazon #1 Bestsellers. 30+ years of enterprise-level expertise. Advisor to Stanford & Harvard.
• Audiences: Business people (CEO, CFO, CMO, directors, managers, and others) who want to learn how to use AI for business and work. I can talk to your audiences with the appropriate level of detail: overview, implementation, and the business value.
• My Current Focus: I teach Applied AI for Digital Marketing in hands-on masters' level courses to engineers, MBAs, and corporate staff at CSTU.edu and DMAnc.org.
• The Goal: Teach companies to become Frontier Firms (Microsoft's concept) to deploy AI across their entire operation as staff manages and delegates tasks to agents. Teach workers to become T-shaped expertswith broad skills in understanding business and using AI on top of their core of SME expertise and experience.
• Summer 2025: Folks, deep changes are happening. Since 2023, we've been in AI Chat Mode, where you chat with an AI. That's over. The focus now is applied AI, which means, how to actually use AI in business. Define the C-level business goals and KPIs. Add first-party data and datasets to an AI, analyze the data to understand the market, competition, trends, and opportunities. When the business goals are clear, create an array of AI agents to achieve those goals. AI-enabled companies are a handful of people with MBA skills (not necessarily MBAs!) & SME domain expertise to manage an array of AI agents and add product specs, datasets, etc. as a foundational data layer to create an agent-enabled site for A2A (agent to agent) activity within the AI-driven information ecosystem. This moves the focus AWAY from "build Silicon Valley startups that offer software" and goes to build AI-powered business models. This applies to every organization.
