AI Meets Execution: The OKR Model That Delivers It

Jean-Luc Zehnder (Virtido) and Mike Dias (SV Execution Partners) bring together a practical framework for identifying where AI creates value, and the execution model that turns those decisions into measurable organisational change.

Why this edition matters

Strategy execution is the only competitive advantage left.

Most mid-market and enterprise strategies do not fail because they were wrong. They fail because nobody built the operating model to execute them.

In a post-AI world, where priorities shift faster than organisations can adapt, that problem is no longer a productivity issue. It is existential.

AI is forcing every leadership team to reorganise their priorities, their teams, and their operating model. The organisations that win will not be the ones with the best AI tools. They will be the ones that can execute the change, week by week, across every function.

This edition of the Forum sits exactly on that tension. Two senior practitioners, one working session with peers, one clear conversation about how AI decisions become organisational reality.

What we'll explore

From AI discovery to OKR-driven execution.

Most leadership teams are stuck between two problems. They do not know where to start with AI, and even when they do, they cannot get the organisation to execute the change consistently.

01
Jean-Luc Zehnder
Virtido · AI Discovery

Jean-Luc walks through a proven discovery process to identify high-value AI use cases and break the inertia that keeps most companies stuck in pilot mode. A practical lens for non-technical leaders on where AI creates real value inside the business.

Mike Dias

Mike Dias
SV Execution Partners · OKR Execution

Mike then shows how OKRs provide the execution backbone that turns AI decisions into measurable organisational change, operating as the weekly rhythm where decisions, ownership and trade-offs happen inside the leadership team.

A practical, peer-level session for mid-market and enterprise leaders ready to move AI decisions into coordinated execution.

Who this is for

Leaders shaping the execution model of an AI-enabled organisation.

Mid-Market CEOs Moving beyond AI experimentation and into structured delivery across the leadership team.
COOs & Heads of Operations Designing the operating model for an organisation that has to absorb AI-driven change.
VPs of Strategy & Chiefs of Staff Translating AI priorities into quarterly OKRs the rest of the organisation can execute.
CHROs & Heads of People Shaping the organisation, capability and governance required to deliver the change.
What you'll take away

What you take back to your leadership team.

Most senior leaders do not lack knowledge about AI. What they lack is a way to convert that knowledge into priorities their leadership team can actually execute. You will leave this session with:

  1. A practical lens for identifying where AI creates value inside your specific business, across functions, not across industries.
  2. A working understanding of how OKRs operate as the execution layer for AI-driven change, from quarterly decisions down to weekly cadence.
  3. Exposure to how other mid-market and enterprise leaders are structuring this work right now, including the trade-offs they are making.
  4. A sharper view of the governance, ownership and decision rights your organisation needs before it scales any AI initiative.
  5. Direct exchange with peers who are navigating the same tension, at the same level of responsibility.

About

The Forum, and the firm behind the conversation.

The Execution Forum

The Execution Forum is an invitation-only, practitioner-led conversation where senior leaders exchange real experiences on execution. Each edition anchors on one theme, with guest practitioners bringing the case from the room, not from a presentation.

It is not a webinar. There is no audience, only participants. Every seat in the room is expected to contribute. What happens inside the Forum stays inside the Forum.

SV Execution Partners

SV Execution Partners is a team of operators who implement execution systems inside leadership teams, then stay until those systems run without them. We specialise in OKRs, weekly operating rhythms, decision rights and accountability structures that make execution predictable across mid-market and enterprise organisations.

We do not coach. We do not advise. We implement.
