AI Governance That Unlocks ROI Across Your Business

Join us for a conversation on what it actually takes to trust AI enough to put it to real work across your business, with Oren Michels, Founder & CEO of Barndoor.ai.

If your company's AI use is stuck on low-stakes work, drafting messages someone still has to check, summarizing things nobody acts on, it's usually not because the model isn't good enough. It's because you can't yet trust it with more, and that's exactly why it isn't delivering real ROI.

That trust comes down to a few tactical things: understanding who's using AI and for what, putting real guardrails around what it's allowed to do, and ensuring it's reliable enough to hand it higher-stakes work with confidence.

In this session, you will:

• Understand what AI governance actually means, tactically. Who's using which models, what workflows and skills your AI agents can touch, who's allowed to turn them loose, and what it's costing you.
• Learn how to roll AI out across your team without losing control of it. The people who need it get access, the people who shouldn't don't, with no separate rollout process to manage.
• Hear real examples of AI taking real action. Across revenue, engineering, and HR teams, completing tasks on its own, not just drafting or summarizing, and the governance that made it possible.

This session is open to all Chief members, but it's built for leaders in IT, Security, and AI at mid-market B2B companies who are responsible for making AI safe and reliable enough to deploy across teams and agents.
