Talks

Signature keynote

In That Order

Every era of management fixed the operation and missed the person. AI is the first technology flexible enough to be built around people, if leaders get the order right.

For leaders

Who Says Go?

Your AI pilot won't fail. It will sit until everyone forgets it existed. The decisions AI exposes, and how to name the person who owns them.

For teams

Automate Anything. Own Everything.

The one AI skill everyone expects and nobody teaches, and why your name is still on the output.

Formats: keynote, breakout or workshop, fireside chat, panel, podcast and media.

Bio, photo, and intro

Short bio

Josh Grace writes and speaks on people, AI, and organizational change. His idea: Mission. People. Technology. In that order. Big ideas that work on a Wednesday.

Long bio

Josh Grace has worked the night shift on an assembly line, pastored churches in Utah and New Jersey, and spent years on the road as a software consultant. Today he leads enterprise technology and builds with AI every week. His argument is simple and inconvenient: most organizations get the order backwards. They buy the technology, fit the people around it, and hope the mission survives. Josh writes and speaks about doing it the other way. Mission. People. Technology. In that order. He publishes Signal & Strategy on Wednesdays, and he will make you laugh at him before he makes you rethink your org chart.

Introduction (about 20 seconds)

Josh Grace runs AI inside a real organization, and he has the wins and the scars to prove that people are still the point. He's worked an assembly line, pastored churches, and lived out of a suitcase as a consultant. His idea fits in five words: mission, people, technology, in that order. Fair warning: he'll make you laugh at him before he makes you rethink your org chart.
