Rethinking Facilitative Leadership: Techniques that Stick

Since meeting at a previous IAF New York Chapter event, Mike Rossius and Douglas Williamson have been blending our different US and international experiences and rethinking what facilitative leadership can look like today. That collaboration pushed us to redesign some of the classic ideas and build practical, modern frameworks that actually help new leadership habits stick in real organizational life. In this workshop, we’ll walk you through the core principles that came out of that work and give you a chance to try the tools yourself so you can feel how they function in practice. We’ll also look at where technology meets facilitation and show you how we help leaders use AI as part of their preparation and decision‑making. Whether you’re a facilitator looking for fresh approaches or a leader who wants something you can apply right away, you’ll leave with tested methods that make leadership behaviors easier to adopt and sustain. This meeting will be in-person at Hudson Yards in New York, We'll send exact location details closer to the date. We will need to supply a list of names to the host for security. If you are not in the NYC area and wish to join via Zoom, please email dseidman@greensilkassociates. We will set Zoom and send you a link.

CFO AI Leverage Report: AI Budgets, ROI and Finance Sign-Off

Enterprise AI is moving from experimentation into the finance office. Open Future Forum has released the **CFO AI Leverage Report, Edition 1**, introducing the **Enterprise AI Buying & Budget Index** and the **CFO AI Leverage Index**. The report examines how CFOs and senior finance leaders are evaluating AI budgets, buying authority, ROI, productivity, governance and the question now sitting at the center of enterprise AI adoption: **Can AI help companies grow output without growing headcount at the same rate?** Read the report here: [https://openfutureforum.com/research/cfo-ai-leverage-report](https://openfutureforum.com/research/cfo-ai-leverage-report) This private executive discussion will focus on what the report means for CFOs, founders, finance leaders, AI operators, investors and enterprise executives. We will look at how AI buying is shifting, who signs off on AI purchases, what finance teams are measuring, and why AI ROI is becoming a CFO-level issue rather than only a technology issue. According to the report, enterprise generative AI spending reached approximately **$37 billion in 2025**, more than tripling from the prior year. At the same time, the share of AI spend funded from experimental innovation budgets fell from **25% to 7%** in one year, showing that AI is moving into core operating budgets. The report also draws on Open Future Forum’s 2026 executive community activity, including **200+ executive registrations across 20+ events**, with **60+ finance leaders and operators**, **50+ security leaders**, and **100+ founders**. In an early directional read, **3 in 5 finance leaders asked said the CFO or finance organization signs off on AI purchases**, rather than the CEO or IT. This discussion is connected to the **CFO Executive Forum**, Open Future Forum’s invitation-only community for CFOs and senior finance leaders of high-growth companies. The CFO Executive Forum hosts small, off-the-record gatherings across Silicon Valley focused on AI, capital allocation, governance, growth, risk, productivity and the changing role of the finance function. Learn more about the CFO Executive Forum here: [https://openfutureforum.com/cfo-executive-forum](https://openfutureforum.com/cfo-executive-forum) **What we will discuss** How CFOs are evaluating enterprise AI spend Why AI budgets are moving from innovation budgets into operating budgets Who signs off on enterprise AI purchases How finance leaders are measuring AI ROI Whether AI can create real headcount leverage Where AI improves productivity, margin and capital efficiency Why founders selling AI tools need to understand the finance buyer How boards and investors are starting to ask harder questions about AI value **Who should attend** This event is designed for CFOs, VPs of Finance, controllers, finance operators, CEOs, founders, investors, enterprise AI leaders and executives responsible for AI budgets, AI transformation, productivity, governance or capital allocation. **Why this matters** The first phase of enterprise AI was about adoption. The next phase is about leverage. Executives are no longer asking only whether AI works. They are asking whether AI creates measurable business value, improves productivity, reduces operating drag, supports growth and helps teams do more without simply adding more tools, more vendors and more headcount. That is a finance question. The CFO AI Leverage Report and Enterprise AI Buying & Budget Index are designed to track that shift over time. **Key links** CFO AI Leverage Report: [https://openfutureforum.com/research/cfo-ai-leverage-report](https://openfutureforum.com/research/cfo-ai-leverage-report) CFO Executive Forum: [https://openfutureforum.com/cfo-executive-forum](https://openfutureforum.com/cfo-executive-forum) Open Future Forum: [https://openfutureforum.com](https://openfutureforum.com/)

Public Speaking Workshop: Hands-on Training for Professionals

### Overview Stop just **talking** about soft skills and start **doing** them! This fun, activity-based workshop focuses on practical skills for assertive communication, active listening, negotiation, and navigating the social landscape of the modern workplace. Ideal for engineers, product managers, and other tech professionals. ### Details Join a lively, hands-on communication workshop designed for software engineers, product managers, and other tech professionals who want to build real-time communication fluency and confidence in a low-pressure setting. ### What this event is This is a peer-to-peer, activity-based learning night where you won't just *hear* about best practices—you will immediately *practice* them in a variety of fast-paced games and guided role-playing scenarios. The focus is on building confidence, developing muscle memory for tough conversations, and supporting each other as a community while having a good time. ### How it works You will participate in a rotating series of structured, interactive activities focused on key workplace communication challenges. You will work in pairs and small groups, taking turns as the 'communicator' and the 'listener/feedback giver' in short, focused rounds. **We will be playing games and running scenarios to practice:** * **Assertive Communication:** Expressing ideas clearly and standing up for yourself without being aggressive. * **Active Listening:** Understanding and responding effectively to a colleague's needs or concerns. * **Negotiation & Compromise:** Finding mutually beneficial solutions in decision-making and project debates. * **Workplace Navigation:** Handling office politics, giving constructive feedback, and advocating for your team/ideas. After each activity, you and your partners will give each other specific, actionable feedback to help refine your technique, clarity, and overall presence. ### Who should attend This workshop is ideal for: * **Engineers and Technical Experts** who want to translate complex ideas into clear, compelling workplace communication. * **Product Managers and Tech Leads** needing to improve negotiation and difficult conversation skills. * **Professionals** feeling out of practice or intimidated by presenting, advocating, or workplace dynamics. All experience levels are welcome; the only requirement is a willingness to practice, give feedback, and treat others with respect. **This is a workshop for developing skills, not a lecture.** ### About the facilitator (Nick Cernek) The session will be facilitated by Nick Cernek, a seasoned **Tech Lead and Manager** who has successfully led high-performing engineering teams. Nick’s experience is rooted in understanding how to move projects forward and secure resources by **effectively navigating the political and social realities of a large organization.** Nick will share proven strategies for managing challenging stakeholders, advocating for team needs, and using **strategic communication** to drive professional and organizational success. ### Vibe and expectations Expect a **highly interactive, lighthearted, and encouraging atmosphere** where making mistakes is the best way to learn and feedback is always constructive. The goal is to walk away with more confidence, a toolkit of practical communication strategies, and the muscle memory to use them when it counts—while meeting other local tech folks working to enhance their soft skills.
