This workshop moves past AI strategy and into what operators have actually deployed inside acquired companies. Presenters will walk through specific implementations — quoting and estimating, scheduling and dispatch, customer service, back-office document handling, financial reporting — with the cost, timeline, and adoption obstacles for each. A dedicated segment covers hiring: how operators are using AI to source, screen, and structure interviews for CXO and senior leadership roles, where the stakes are highest and the candidate pool is thinnest. Participants will leave with a framework for choosing the first one or two use cases in a business with thin IT resources and legacy systems, along with a candid account of what has failed and why.
