What you leave with
“I need to understand AI well enough to lead on it — not just nod along in meetings.”
Most executive AI briefings are either too technical to be useful or too superficial to build real confidence. They leave leadership teams with a vague sense that AI matters — but no framework for deciding what to do, what to fund, or what to push back on.
The Executive Lunch & Learn is different. It’s a facilitated conversation, not a presentation. Jon Scheele draws on 10+ years of enterprise advisory and hands-on experience with organisations across Asia-Pacific to give your team a grounded, vendor-neutral view of what AI actually means for your business — and what questions every executive should be asking before committing to anything.
What’s covered
Three conversations every leadership team needs to have
What AI can — and can’t — do for your business
A grounded view of where AI delivers real value in your industry, where the hype outpaces reality, and the questions that separate a genuine opportunity from an expensive distraction. Calibrated to your sector and company stage.
What your organisation needs before AI works
The data, process, and governance foundations that determine whether an AI initiative succeeds or stalls. Most failures are infrastructure problems, not technology problems — and most are preventable with the right decisions made early.
How to evaluate vendors without being captured by them
A practical framework for assessing AI vendors and proposals on business terms — not feature lists or benchmark scores. What to ask, what to test, and what the right answer looks like when you hear it.
How it runs
A conversation, not a lecture
Pre-session alignment (15 min)
A short call beforehand to understand your organisation’s current AI context, the decisions your leadership team is facing, and any specific topics you want the session to address. The session is tailored accordingly.
Facilitated lunch session (90 min)
Delivered at your premises or a venue of your choice over lunch. Jon leads a structured but conversational session — framing the key issues, drawing out the room’s existing knowledge, and building shared understanding through real examples from your industry.
Summary and next steps (within 3 days)
A brief written summary of the key points covered and any specific actions or decisions the session surfaced. If a follow-on engagement makes sense, Jon will say so — and say so plainly.
Who it’s for
For executives who need to lead on AI, not just approve it
The Lunch & Learn is designed for senior leadership teams — CEOs, COOs, CFOs, Chief Digital Officers, and their direct reports — who need a shared, working understanding of AI to make good decisions together.
It’s particularly valuable before a major AI investment decision, a board presentation on digital strategy, or the start of a transformation programme where executive alignment will determine whether the project succeeds.
- Your board has asked for an AI strategy
— and your leadership team needs to get aligned before you can write one. - You’re evaluating a significant AI investment
— and want an independent view before committing. - Your technical and business leaders aren’t speaking the same language
— the session builds shared vocabulary and a common frame of reference. - You want to be a more effective sponsor of AI initiatives
— not just a signatory on the budget.
“Jon has a unique ability to deliver key points with precision, breaking down complex concepts step by step. His approach ensures that people not only understand but also feel confident by the end of the session.”
