The AI Conversation Global CEOs Are Having in Private — Now in Print

BOULDER, Colo. - July 28, 2026 - PRLog -- International Business Circle (IBCircle), the Colorado-based Think Tank and executive group twice named Business Networking Organisation of the Year by the Global Innovation and Excellence Awards (2025 and 2026), today releases its Q2 Think Tank Report: Nonlinear Growth in a Disrupted World — available free of charge at www.ibcircle.com/event-reports.

The report emerges from a June 3 roundup of 60 internationally active CEOs, CFOs, founders, and investors convened at Wipfli's Denver headquarters, moderated by Magnolia Movido (Partner & Head of International Tax, Wipfli) and featuring Matt Frary (Chief of Chaos; XP Flow; Advisor, Iterate.ai) and Richard Lackey (Chairman, World Food Bank; CIO, Trade Oracle Group).

The room's conclusions were direct. Most organizations are purchasing AI licenses, distributing access to thousands of employees, and achieving almost nothing — because they are deploying without a plan, without success metrics, and without understanding that their sensitive data is flowing into public models never designed to be private. The real AI opportunity, both speakers agreed, is not in frontier models but in applied AI solving specific, bounded, high-consequence problems.

The report also tackles re-globalization, capital allocation, long-term planning, and why Colorado — not California — is the decade's most compelling technology growth market.

Five key takeaways. Five strategic priorities for management teams. Five bounded 90-day actions. All drawn directly from what was said in the room.
