2027 Business Growth Blueprint: An AI Strategic Planning Workshop
Leave with your 2027 plan, the five systems that will deliver it, and your own AI Advisory Board running on your laptop.
A plan moves when the business has systems built to carry it. This evening you build both. Colin Johnson coaches you through the decisions: where the business is going, what is holding it back, and the three priorities that matter. Ev Oputa then takes your plan through the five systems that run any growing company: Marketing, Customer Acquisition, Sales, Operations and Customer Success. You map each one for your business, with an AI Advisory Board pressure-testing every choice as you go.
By 9:00 PM the plan is written, the systems behind it are mapped, and the AI that helped you build it is on your own laptop for the year ahead.
What you walk out with
Your 2027 plan on two pages: targets for revenue, profit, team and your own hours; the one constraint holding you back; three ranked priorities; a five-KPI scorecard; Q1 actions with owners and dates; one commitment for the next seven days
Your 5-system framework: a one-page card for each system with its stages, who owns each stage, the metric you will watch, where AI helps run it, and the first fix for Q1
Your own AI Advisory Board: the open-source Advisory Board Ev built, set up in a folder in your company vault. It convenes AI personas modelled on 109 business leaders across 18 domains, lets them disagree, then gives you one recommendation, a risk flag and a next action. You keep it after the night
A plan that connects to the work: every priority is tied to the system that carries it, and every KPI comes from a system card, so your team can see what changes on Monday

Where your data lives
Your plan, your system cards and the Advisory Board live in a folder on your own laptop. Your conversations run through your own AI account, under that account's terms. The hosts see only what you choose to show, and nobody is asked to share numbers with the room.
Before you come
Complete the prep form (15 to 20 minutes) by Monday, November 16 at 6:00 PM MT

Bring a laptop and charger, signed in to the AI tool your company uses
Have your 2026 revenue, profit and headcount to date. Estimates are fine
Who it is for
Owners and decision-makers of businesses with 5 or more staff, especially in construction, the trades and professional services. You can get to your numbers, you will give 20 minutes to the prep form, and you want a plan your team can run.
Not the right fit if you are looking for basic AI tool training, a done-for-you systems build on the night, or you run a solo or pre-revenue business.

A 60-minute online implementation clinic
