For owners who already bought AI
It looks like progress. One step in the middle really did get faster, and the person doing it will tell you so. Then you look at the week and it’s the same length it always was — same steps, same waiting, same day it finally goes out. That step was never what made it slow.
Licenses, a tool, an add-on your vendor switched on. Maybe somebody on your team just started using it. Money went out the door.
Somebody swears it saves them time. The week is exactly as long as it was. Nothing you’d put on paper is different.
The actual work in that process might be an hour. Start to finish it takes days. For most of that time nobody is touching it at all — it’s sitting in a queue, or an inbox, or on somebody’s desk until Monday.
If two of those landed, this class was built for you. If none did, don’t come — you’d be paying to hear something you already know.
One process. Re-imagined.
Not notes about your business. Not a plan to think about it later. One of your actual processes, redesigned — what it is today, what was never in it, and what it becomes. Here is a real one, drawn to the same time scale so you can see what changes.
The tasks were never the problem. The waiting between them was. The forty minutes of writing was never what made it take three days.
Every step, every handoff, every stretch where it just sits. Written down honestly, most likely for the first time.
The step somebody already made faster — and exactly what that did and didn’t change about the week.
Fewer steps, less waiting, and the thing that was never in there. Plus what to do first, and what to stop paying for.
“What do you have to have, and what do you want to have?”
That question closed more deals for me than any pitch ever did. Give somebody both and the decision makes itself. It works exactly the same way on a business process — and almost nobody asks the second half.
Every step, every handoff, and every stretch where it’s just sitting there. Most process work stops here: take out the waiting, call it done.
That’s half the exercise. Do only this and you get a shorter version of the same business.
Not the work you gave up on. The work you never put on a list, because the technology didn’t exist when you built this — or because nobody ever asked you what you’d want.
Why “want” is a real question now, not a wish list. Nearly a third of organizations decided against buying a software product or feature because they could build the equivalent themselves instead. Things that used to mean buying a platform — or going without — are now on the table at the scale of a business like yours.

Re-imagining a process changes its shape — how many steps there are, how long it sits between them, and what gets added. It does not change who decides.
Who gets paid, and when, stays yours.
Nothing signs on your behalf.
The call that needs a person still needs a person. You included.
Nobody wants that automated, and they can tell.

“Don’t buy it” only means something from somebody who could have built it for you. I build the implementations myself.

Said out loud in every session
“If you can’t describe how your process actually runs, don’t hire anybody to automate it. Including me. Go find that out first.”
You’ll be told plainly when the answer is to do the work yourself rather than buy anything.Three hours out of your business, and you’re the one who has to be there — nobody can send a delegate to re-imagine a process they don’t run.
Weigh it against how long that process has been costing you every single week.
Per person. 12 seats, because everyone gets their own process re-imagined — that stops being true at fifteen.
Chamber and association members: ask your organisation for their code before you register.
Something with steps, handoffs, and at least one person waiting on somebody else. Lead to close. Quote to signed. The one you’d rather not run again.
Bring it the way it actually runs on a Tuesday, when two people are out. The redo. The day and a half it sits in somebody’s inbox. That’s the raw material.
Bring a laptop and a pen. Most of the morning is pen and paper — but there’s a stretch where you run it yourself on your own machine.
No preparation needed. Pick something real and be willing to say out loud how it actually works.
One can. Not five. That’s why the pre-work is a single process and why the room is 12. The morning is spent on yours specifically, which is the only reason it fits.
No. If you can describe how work moves through your business, you have everything the morning needs. The tools are the easy part and they come last.
It’s yours to build, and plenty of people do exactly that. If it turns out to cross systems or touch money, that’s a conversation rather than a weekend project — and you’ll be told which one you have.
The example is deliberately boring — quoting, invoicing, onboarding — because the shape repeats everywhere. You work on your own process, not a case study.
No. You’ll be told when the answer is to do the work yourself. Some people leave and never need me, which is the point.
Almost nobody’s is. That’s the first hour. Writing it down honestly is usually the part that changes people’s minds.
Sessions get scheduled as hosts and rooms line up. Leave your name and I’ll email you when one is on the calendar — with the date, the place and what it costs.
You’re joining a list, not taking a seat. Nothing is held and nothing is charged. When there’s a real date in front of you, you decide then.
No seat is held and no payment is taken.
One email when a session is scheduled. Nothing else.
