DFW leaders in small-group conversations at a Collective roundtable
The Collective

A room of DFW leaders worth knowing.

Why an AI roundtable

The CEO has to be the AI architect.

Only 12% of CEOs say AI has delivered both lower costs and higher revenue, and 56% say they’ve seen neither (PwC 29th Global CEO Survey, January 2026). When AI is handed to the IT department or a tiger team, it tends to stay a set of pilots. The leaders getting a return are leading it themselves.

The AI Architect Roundtable is where DFW executives learn from each other how to do that: which problems to point AI at first, how to redesign the work and how to bring their teams along.
