SUMMARY:Link Club with Bob Coppedge
DESCRIPTION:Managing AI Before It Manages You and Your Business\nDate: Friday\, May 29\, 11:30 AM – 1:30 PM\nLocation: The Aviator Pub & Restaurant\, 20920 Brookpark Rd. | Cleveland\, OH 44135\nSpeaker: Simplex-IT CEO Bob Coppedge \nJoin us in welcoming Bob Coppedge\, CEO Simplex-IT on how executives should think about AI adoption in today’s organizations.\nAt our May 29 meeting\, Simplex-IT CEO Bob Coppedge will lead a practical discussion for business and technology leaders on how executives should think about AI adoption in today’s organizations. \nRather than focusing on tools or technical demos\, this session looks at AI as a leadership and decision making challenge. Teams are moving at different speeds\, risks are emerging quietly\, and responsibility for AI decisions is often unclear. The result is that leaders end up reacting to AI instead of directing it. \nThis talk explores how organizations can treat AI as a managed business capability — with clear ownership\, guardrails\, and intent — so it supports the business consistently across teams and borders. Attendees can expect a grounded\, experience based conversation focused on governance\, accountability\, and making better decisions about where AI belongs and where it doesn’t. And we’ll talk about specific steps that are relatively easy to take. \nThis session is designed for executives\, business owners\, and technology leaders who want a clearer\, more disciplined way to think about AI without the hype. \nSeats are Limited – RSVP Today! \nREGISTER\nFor student pricing contact: treasurer@Baccohio.org \n \n\nAbout Bob: \nBob Coppedge is the CEO of Simplex-IT and a long time advisor to business leaders on the practical realities of technology\, risk\, and decision making. He works closely with executive teams to help them understand where technology supports the business — and where it quietly creates complexity if left unmanaged. \nBob is a frequent speaker on Co-Managed IT services\, artificial intelligence\, cybersecurity\, and IT leadership\, with a focus on translating technical topics into plain language that executives can actually use. His work emphasizes governance\, accountability\, and treating technology — including AI — as a business capability rather than a collection of tools or experiments. \nHe is also the author of several books written specifically for non technical leaders\, including A CEO’s Survival Guide to Information Technology\, which reflects his practical\, no nonsense approach to helping executives make better technology decisions without having to become experts themselves. \nKnown for a conversational and candid speaking style\, Bob brings real world perspective — and a bit of dry humor — to complex topics\, making his sessions both informative and approachable for business and technology leaders alike. \nAnd ask him about Star Wars video games. Go ahead. We dare you.
