By invitation

A peer network for executives accountable for AI in traditional companies.

Small by design. We're forming the founding cohort now: senior leaders who own AI outcomes inside a traditional company and don't sell AI for a living.

What it is

What membership includes.

  • The flagship

    Invite-only roundtables

    Eight to twelve peers, quarterly, about ninety minutes on video, under the Chatham House Rule. The agenda comes from the problems members send in.

  • Before any room

    Vetting and matching

    We vet every member ourselves and compose each room by industry, company scale, and AI maturity. Never two direct competitors.

  • Ongoing

    Peer introductions

    Warm introductions to peers working the same problem you are.

  • Being built

    Benchmarking

    An anonymized "how do we compare" benchmark, built from the founding cohort's intake and first roundtables. It doesn't exist yet. The founding cohort builds it, and the first briefing comes out of those rooms.

Who it's for

The bar, and all three are required.

  • 01

    A senior role accountable for AI

    CEO, CTO, CIO, CAIO, chief data or analytics officer, head of transformation. Judged on scope, not title.

  • 02

    You own the AI outcomes

    You answer for whether the work pays off, and you don't sell or advise on AI. This is the gate that matters most.

  • 03

    A traditional, non-tech enterprise

    An established company in a traditional industry, where the hard parts are legacy systems, regulation, and change. Not an AI-native tech company.

Who it's not for

Not for vendors, consultants, or anyone who sells or advises on AI, whatever the title. This is a room for buyers and operators.

Independence

No one pays for this room.

Most groups that gather AI executives are funded by someone selling something. We're the other way: vendor-free, consultancy-free, and sponsor-free, by rule. No seat is for sale, and no member is ever pitched.

We also run a separate consulting practice, and we never pitch it here.

Who's behind it

Founder-led, and accountable.

We're assembling the founding cohort now, and we're choosing it slowly.

We also run the Institute of Applied Artificial Intelligence , public research on enterprise AI. Judge us by it.

Questions

A few things people ask.

Is there a fee?
No. It's free for the founding cohort, and we'd rather build the right room than charge for an empty one.
How do you make money?
Not from this. We run a separate consulting practice; the Association never sells you anything and never passes you along as a lead.
When would my first roundtable be?
Once there are enough peers at your scale and industry to make it worth your time. We'll tell you where that stands.
Who sees what I submit?
Just us. We never sell it, and anything that informs the benchmark is anonymized first. See our privacy page.
What if I'm not a fit?
We'll tell you. No hard feelings, and no list you're stuck on.
