# Webinar-AI Strategy for Mission-Driven Organizations
## Where are you in your AI Journey?
### 1. Curious But Cautious
Symptoms: Early-stage exploration, unclear on value, AI seen as a risk or mystery.
"*Most organizations don't fail because of bad AI - they fail because of bad thinking about AI*." - Donald Farmer
Next Steps: Schedule a quick, no-pressure strategy call to explore where AI might fit in your organization.

### 2. Ready to Pilot, But Unsure How
Symptoms: Leadership alignment exists, but lacking the structure to get started.
"*The missing piece is often governance - who's driving, who's watching, who's responsible.*" - Donald Farmer
Next Steps: Let's talk through your goals and explore where AI can deliver real value - without overengineering it.

### 3. Momentum, But Misaligned
Symptoms: There are projects underway or tools in use (like ChatGPT), but no unifying strategy or clear outcomes.
"*You can't outsource the thinking. A tool like ChatGPT doesn't care about your customers, your community, or your mission - you have to.*" - Donald Farmer
Next Steps: We can help you align your team around the right AI priorities.

### 4. Ready to take action
Symptoms: Leadership teams are aligned, there’s a sense of urgency, and the organization wants structured guidance to accelerate progress.
“The difference between AI curiosity and AI impact is leadership taking deliberate, informed action.” — Donald Farmer
Next Steps: Schedule a private AI workshop for your organization, hosted by Donald Farmer.
These half-day or full-day sessions (virtual or in-person) are designed to give your team the frameworks, tools, and practical next steps needed to move from strategy to execution.
