Every topic below can be shaped into a keynote, workshop, or panel. Zar works with organizers before any engagement to tailor the message for the room.
AI is now the number-one concern in most boardrooms. Most executives are working from headlines instead of strategy. What's actually working, what isn't, and the hard truths advisory firms won't say out loud.
What 80+ marathons and ultramarathons have taught Zar about finishing – and what that means for how Fortune 500s should be running their AI transformations.
The practitioner's method for moving from AI mandate to built strategy. Frameworks, named systems, real examples from the field.
