In this executive briefing, Murray Newlands of the Open Future Forum sits down with Yvonne Newlands, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Trekka, a consulting firm that helps companies navigate AI transformation, to break down how leaders are actually using Claude. Not the hype version. What it's good at, where it saves real time, and where it changes how you think about a problem. The conversation moves past basic AI use into the two modes that matter for executives: using Claude as a thinking partner that sharpens your own judgment, and using it as a doer that automates the repeatable work eating your week, through tools like Cowork. Topics discussed include: how executives should start using Claude AI for reading and summarizing long documents confidentiality and data privacy with AI Claude as a strategic thinking partner AI automation for executives Claude Cowork and agentic workflows board meeting and decision prep with AI common mistakes leaders make with AI where not to use AI and the hard lines building a 30-day AI habit One of the clearest takeaways from the conversation: The future isn't executives using AI to draft emails. It's executives using Claude two ways at once. As a thinking partner that sharpens their judgment, and as a doer that takes the repeatable work off their plate.

One of the clearest takeaways from this briefing: Small rooms beat large networks for senior decision makers. The best executive communities are built by operators, not media companies or VC firms. AI agents are about to change how senior people discover and attend events, and the communities that prepare for that shift will be the ones that last.
