DESCRIPTION:Where does AI actually belong in my business? \n\nAlmost every business owner in the room is quietly asking the same question: where does AI actually belong in my business? Not whether to use AI. Not which tool to buy. But where it actually fits in the operation they already run\, given the size\, stage\, and complexity of their business right now.\n\nThis session answers that question with a structured\, owner-friendly framework. Built from the same diagnostic logic used with enterprise clients\, the framework scales down to the realities of small businesses and solopreneurs without losing rigor. Attendees will identify which of five AI readiness stages their business is currently in\, learn what the right next step looks like at each stage\, and watch a live demonstration of what changes when AI is used with structure instead of guesswork.\n\nFacilitated by Adell Means\, founder and CEO of Aevara AI and a Certified AI Specialist\, this session brings more than twenty years of executive leadership experience together with applied AI expertise. Adell was recently selected from more than 300 national submissions to deliver two workshops at America's SBDC Annual Training Event and has trained 250+ clients across small businesses\, mid-market companies\, and enterprise organizations.\n\nNo technical background required. No vendor pitches. Whether you have never opened an AI tool or you are already several tools deep\, you will leave with a clear sense of where you are and what your next step should be.\n\n\n\nAbout Adell Means: \n\nAdell Means is the founder and CEO of Aevara AI\, an Indiana LLC providing AI audits\, agent development\, agentic workflow design\, and AI training to organizations across the Midwest and nationally. He holds a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from Butler University's Lacy School of Business and executive certificates in Business Strategy and Organizational Leadership from Indiana University's Kelley School of Business.\n\nHis professional background spans more than two decades in executive leadership\, including his current role as President and CEO of Resource & Supply.
