01Speaking
One argument.
Many rooms.
Boards. Executive teams. Software engineers. University students. Athletes. Public audiences. High school students.
Srini gives one keynote and adapts it to the room. The argument does not change. The room does.
Most AI talks tell an audience the tools are coming and they had better keep up. This one starts somewhere else, with what happens to a person, a team, or a region when the thing that built their capability quietly moves somewhere else. Ohio has lived that story once already. The second time it will not be about steel.
| Format | Length | Built for |
|---|---|---|
| Keynote | 60 minutes | Conference and event audiences, tuned to the room |
| Pit Wall | 60 to 90 minutes | Boards and leadership teams, closed room |
| Tune-Up | 4 hours | Intact teams, hands on the wheel |
| Track Day | One day | Executive cohorts, a full day at speed |
| Garage | 4 hours, twice | Students and emerging talent |
02The Book
Thinking with AI
The Leadership Discipline for the Age of AI. Out now in hardcover, paperback, and Kindle.
The real danger with AI is not what it does. It is what it lets you not do. Every unchallenged answer is a small convenience, and none of them feels like a loss at the time. Stack up enough of them and a leader has outsourced the one thing the job was always actually about. This book is about staying in the loop when the machine makes it easy to step out of it.
