What it is

What is an AI Executive Briefing?

An Executive Briefing is a 60-minute working session for college and university leaders. Dr. Goodman reviews where your institution stands on AI across leadership alignment, governance, faculty and staff readiness, data and privacy, and academic integrity, then helps your team agree on the first priorities.

You leave with a written summary for your cabinet. There is no obligation to continue.

What you get

Three things your cabinet can use right away.

Clarity

Where you stand

An outside read on your institution’s AI readiness, from someone who has led institutions like yours.

Priorities

What to do first

The two or three moves that matter most now, and what can wait.

Summary

A written record

A short written summary you can share with your cabinet, board or task force.
