WHAT TO EXPECT AT THE EVENT:
The Scaling MT Speaker Series is a hybrid event featuring conversations with top-tier technology and industry experts to provide strategic insights and technology content for leaders, builders, and tech enthusiasts across Montana.
The AI revolution isn’t on the horizon — it’s here. Yet while some organizations are unlocking extraordinary gains, others risk amplifying dysfunction at scale. How do you navigate this new frontier wisely?
Join Scaling Montana for “Exploring the Wild West of AI” featuring Jean-Louis Guillou, global business leader, impact strategist, and former CEO of Cargill Indonesia, in conversation with Sasha Hathaway, co-founder of LucidORG and expert in organizational effectiveness.
In this session, Jean-Louis and Sasha will unpack:
Why AI is already a competitive advantage, and a risk multiplier, depending on how it’s implemented
The “tool trap” that leads organizations astray and how to avoid it
How successful companies are aligning commercial objectives, data, and technology for real impact
What most teams miss when they rush to scale AI, and how to prepare your structure, not just your systems, for the future
A glimpse at what’s next: autonomous agents, decision-making AI, and why your biggest barrier won’t be tech, it’ll be leadership alignment
This discussion is tailored for founders, executives, and innovators leading digital transformation and eager to maximize AI’s potential while avoiding common pitfalls.
