About This Session

Turn the weekly questions you already ask into a live operational dashboard built from QuickBooks, your job system, and the spreadsheets in between.

What We'll Cover

  • The weekly questions → live metrics, wired in the room
  • Cash, backlog, jobs, people: the four panes that matter
  • Reading it in five minutes a morning

You Leave With

Your cockpit spec — the exact metrics you'd wire first

Who Should Attend

Owners and CEOs who ask the same questions every week — cash, backlog, jobs, people — and wait on someone to assemble the answers. If your Monday starts with requesting reports instead of reading them, this working session builds the alternative in front of you.

This workshop is one of 20 at the AI Business Retreat — a one-day, hands-on AI training for business at The Island in Spooner, Wisconsin, within driving distance of Minneapolis–St. Paul, Eau Claire, La Crosse, Duluth, and Hudson.

The Owner's Cockpit — Questions & Answers

The ones you already run: QuickBooks or your accounting system, your job or project system, and the spreadsheets in between. This session takes the weekly questions owners already ask and wires them into live metrics — cash, backlog, jobs, and people on one screen, readable in five minutes a morning.
No. The traditional route — ETL pipelines, BI licenses, an analyst, months of setup — is exactly what this session shows you how to skip. AI-assisted tooling can connect directly to the systems a small business already runs and stand up live operational metrics in a fraction of the time.
