Bring your enterprise AI questions to the same room as the local business community.
Same coffee. Different scale of problem. Plain English. No vendor pitches. No closed-door sessions. The conversation works better when everyone's in the room.
Most enterprise AI strategy is downstream of how a smaller team uses it first.
The CIO at a regional manufacturer and the owner of an Apple Valley dental office are facing different scales of the same question: where does AI actually help, where does it backfire, and what's worth paying for?
Sitting in the same room — once — gives you something a McKinsey deck won't: the texture of how this technology actually lands when real people, with real budgets and real legal exposure, try to use it. Owners see how big teams think about governance. Big teams see how owners cut through hype with practical tests. Everyone leaves smarter.
This is the conversation your board wants you to have before you procure another platform.
Four things you can't get from a vendor or a consultant.
Vendor-neutral working sessions
No platform is being sold. Topics like "what's safe to paste into ChatGPT" or "where AI breaks for hiring" get worked through across industries — manufacturing, healthcare, professional services, retail — so you can stress-test your assumptions against real cases.
Peer learning across industry, not seniority
A 12-person operations team and a 4,000-person regional employer hit the same governance walls in different forms. Hearing how an owner-operator handles policy in plain English often surfaces what your team's policy was missing.
No NDAs needed
Nothing client-confidential happens in the room. Conversations stay at the principle and example level — concrete enough to be useful, abstract enough that no one has to clear it with legal first.
Optional 1:1 follow-up
If a question is too company-specific for the room, there's a quiet path to a private conversation with Cichocki Advisory afterward — under NDA, at your pace. Never mentioned during the session. Linked at the bottom of every confirmation email.
What this is not.
If you've been to enterprise "community events" before, you know the playbook: it's a lead-gen channel with snacks. This isn't that. To be specific:
- Not a sales channel. No CRM capture beyond the email you give us. No outreach after the session unless you ask for it.
- Not a consulting pitch. Cichocki Advisory is named in the footer; it's not pitched in the room.
- Not lead-gen for ThreadSync. ThreadSync exists. It doesn't get mentioned unless someone in the room asks.
- Not a closed-door enterprise event. Owners and operators are in the same room. That's the point.
- Not a webinar. Real venue. Real conversation. Coffee on the table.
- Not a recurring obligation. Come once. Come to every session. Either is fine.
Cichocki Advisory. The same shop that runs the working group runs the advisory practice.
Cichocki Advisory
An independent advisory practice focused on AI governance, integration strategy, and enterprise readiness. Run by Jan Cichocki out of the south-metro since 2025. NDA-first engagements. Documentation available under NDA — including SOC 2 TSC control mappings and security questionnaire responses.
ThreadSync
The platform-engineering product Cichocki Advisory ships when an advisory engagement needs durable infrastructure underneath it. Same team. Same accountability. Mentioned here only because it's the answer to "wait, do you actually build the things you recommend?"
Most advisors hand you finished tools. We hand you the keys.
The thing nobody is telling business owners in 2026: a $4-a-month Linux computer on the internet plus an SSH key plus an AI that writes code is the most underrated business stack in a decade. It's what we run our own work on. It's what we teach you to run yours on.
Not a SaaS we resell. Not a platform you depend on us for. Your server. Your code. Your data. If we vanish tomorrow, your tools keep working.
See how it works → ~6 hours from "never SSH'd" to "shipped your first tool"It costs you nothing to start. Sessions are free. The AI tools are free. You can run your first tool on your laptop. The $4 only kicks in when you put it on the internet — and only if you want to. See the honest cost ladder →
Hear about the first session.
We'll email you once when it's scheduled. That's it.
