SUMMARY:Lead the AI Charge: Building Trust\, Ethics\, and Strategy for Small Business Success
DESCRIPTION:7775 Walton Pkwy\, Suite 100\, New Albany\, OH 43054\nFriday 10/10/25\, 11:00 am – 1:00 pm \nBe ready to interact with our featured speaker\, Ray Waite\, and your fellow participants.  \nPlease arrive at 11:00 am. Eat. Mingle. Make new friends. \nArtificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping how small businesses operate\, compete\, and grow. While AI tools are being adopted at increasing rates\, many organizations are doing so without clear direction\, ethical guardrails\, or leadership oversight. \nThis TIGER Talk will be a call to action for business leaders to step forward and guide AI integration with purpose. We’ll explore the five core principles that build trust in AI systems\, and why these values must be embedded from the top down. \nParticipants will leave with practical tools to lead confidently\, including an AI readiness assessment and a starter plan tailored for small business environments. You’ll gain clarity on your leadership role in governance\, risk management\, and shaping a culture of responsible innovation. \nThe time to lead is now! This talk will give you the roadmap to do it with confidence\, integrity\, and vision. \n*************** \nOur speaker\, Ray Waite\, is a futurist\, passionate about helping individuals\, entrepreneurs\, and organizations understand and develop the skills necessary to survive and thrive in the emerging turbulent marketplace. He is the founder of Lighthouse Force (lighthouseforce.com)\, dedicated to leading businesses in the areas of innovation\, artificial intelligence\, design thinking\, critical thinking and transformation management. \nRay loves taking the complex and explaining it in a practical way that can be easily applied.
