The 90-Minute AI Action Plan: where to start without wasting money.
By the end of this session every owner in the room has a one-page plan with one starting job, one first system, and one action to take this week.
Art Berezovskis
Founder of ApexRun AI, the AIOS Implementation Partner for owner-operated businesses across the GTA. Art builds the systems that capture every lead, follow up instantly, and bring past customers back.
This is education, not a sales pitch. The frameworks in the room are the same ones that run inside live client engagements, including content and lead systems for OnTrac and a document-automation system for a GTA mortgage brokerage that cut file review from hours to under a minute.
Seven beats. One page.
The cost of starting wrong
Only 1 in 3 software buyers successfully adopts the tools they buy (Capterra, 2026, n=3,300+). The room calculates what a wasted subscription year actually costs their business.
You are already using AI
BDC surveyed 1,247 Canadian entrepreneurs in April 2024 and found 27% were already using AI without knowing it. We run the same reveal live: hands up, count the tools.
The three jobs every business should cover
Before buying anything, a business needs to know what it is trying to do. The AIOS frame names three jobs in plain language: capture every lead, follow up instantly, bring past customers back.
Where would you start
A live exercise. Each owner maps their biggest time or revenue leak to one of the three jobs. This is the moment the room stops being abstract and starts being personal.
The one-page action plan
The room fills in the plan together. Job one, the tool or system that covers it, what success looks like, and what to do this week. Owners leave with a physical page, not just notes.
Do this Monday
Three moves that need no budget and no tech team: audit every AI subscription and its cost, name the one job that leaks most revenue, and book a 30-minute conversation with someone who has already done it.
Q and A
Open floor. Bring your real situation and we will work through the first step together.
The confusion is real, and it is costing money.
Every figure below is drawn from named, dated, independent research. We cite it in the room so owners can take it back to their teams.
Only 1 in 3 buyers succeeds
Capterra surveyed more than 3,300 software buyers globally and found that only one in three is a successful software adopter. Over half (52%) of sales and marketing decision-makers say effectively using AI features is their number one challenge for the year ahead.

27% did not know they were already using AI
BDC surveyed 1,247 Canadian entrepreneurs in April 2024. Only 39% initially said they used AI. When shown a list of AI-powered tools, 66% confirmed they did. The gap is 27%: more than one in four Canadian entrepreneurs was already using AI without knowing it. Source: BDC, The AI Imperative for Canada's Entrepreneurs, September 2024.
78.1% say AI is not relevant to them
Statistics Canada surveyed 9,494 businesses in Q3 2025 and found that 78.1% of non-adopters not planning to use AI said it was simply not relevant to what they produce or deliver. Separately, a Liaison Strategies poll of 500 Ontario business leaders (August 2025) found that roughly 70% were unaware of government AI support programs and only 23% said AI adoption had increased at their business in the past year.

A plan, not another slide deck.
A one-page plan, filled in the room
Not a deck to read later. A single page with your starting job, your first tool or system, and your first action. Completed before you leave.
Clarity on what you are already doing
Most owners are using more AI than they think. You leave knowing what counts, what to keep, and what to cancel.
The three jobs that matter before any purchase
Capture, Convert, Retain. Once you know the frame, every vendor conversation becomes easier and every buying decision gets sharper.
