Shep Bryan: Build Adaptive Strategy Maps - AI Tools that Think with Strategy

Shep Bryan, Founder & CEO of Penumbra—the first platform where ideas behave like living, evolving systems—will show how to move from brittle slides to dynamic, AI-aided knowledge graphs that mirror the way strategic leaders actually think (getpenumbra.ai)

In this live session, you’ll see how Penumbra’s multi-agent workflows capture fragments of thought, map hidden connections, and surface next-step actions in real time—so you spend less time organizing and more time deciding.

What You’ll Learn
* The 3-step Thinking Canvas Shep uses to turn whiteboard scribbles into an adaptive strategy map in minutes

* How multi-agent AI can co-create with you—surfacing patterns, risks, and opportunities you’d miss alone

* A behind-the-scenes look at how founders and consultants are using Penumbra to draft OKRs, go-to-market plans, and investor memos 5× faster

* How to gain early access to Penumbra’s private beta and clone your own “second brain” without code

Who Should Attend
* Visionary founders, fractional CXOs, and strategy consultants who juggle complex ideas daily

* Product and ops leaders tired of static docs that never get updated

* Anyone curious about using AI as a genuine thought partner—not a fancy note taker

Come ready to diagram your next big move—and leave with a blueprint you can expand the moment inspiration hits.
