The AI Tools Are Ready. Most Workflows Aren’t. The sharpest tool in the shed is useless if no one knows how to swing it. AUG 6 | Drop in anytime 5:00–7:00 PM CT | Lewis University - D’Arcy Greater Room


The biggest AI opportunity for most companies isn't building models — it's finding practical ways to use AI in the work we already do.

Most small and mid-sized businesses don't have dedicated AI teams or big budgets. What we need is practical insight from peers figuring out where AI actually saves time — and where it's a distraction dressed up as progress.

Join a small group of Will County business leaders for a candid conversation on what's working, what's not, and what to try next.

The Business Question We’re Exploring:

"With everything changing so quickly, how do we keep our teams steady and clear-headed — and start using AI in ways that actually help?"
Who Should Attend:
  • Owners, presidents, operations leaders, and HR/talent folks from Will County SMBs navigating rapid change.
What You'll Leave With:
  • Where other Will County leaders are seeing AI actually pay off
  • Where it's a distraction disguised as progress
  • A few useful next moves to try in your own business
Share What's Moving Your Work — Book #4 Is Being Built With Real Stories

In Search of Organizational Excellence — the 4th ELE book — is being built inside the community right now.

We want to uncover practical ways AI is helping SMB leaders like you. If something's moving your work — a small win, a shortcut, a lesson from something that didn't — we'd love to hear it. Your story might land in the book.
