Live workshop · From Craig’s signature keynote

Where Did the Work Go?

Cost per analysis fell 11x. Of 1,279 items waiting for review, 1,228 were never opened.

The task got faster. This hour shows you where the rest of the work went. Built for owners of companies with about 20 to 100 people, and for whoever looks after the computers along with everything else. It isn’t technical.

  • Name the seven places the work moves to
  • Price the three columns no vendor fills in
  • Know whose name is on the output when it’s confidently wrong
  • Choose which AI project to turn down, and say why

You also get

  • The worksheets: the Work Map spreadsheet (Excel or Google Sheets) and scorecard, a companion guide, and a six-piece kit, including a sample map, question scripts, and an AI-use policy starter
  • 1 hour of 1:1 consulting with Craig and his team, to use within 30 days of your session*

*Some restrictions apply.

Heard me on the radio?

You’ve got automatic updates turned on, so that part is handled… But you may have heard me say:

Windows Update never touches Adobe Reader. Doesn’t touch WinZip. Not any of the dozens of other programs sitting on your computer right now.

So, who’s taking care of the rest?

Most people assume somebody’s handling it. Almost nobody has actually looked — and that isn’t carelessness. Nobody ever told you it was your job.

Three steps, about ten minutes.

STEP 1

Download it

One file. You run it yourself, on your own computer.

STEP 2

It counts

It reads what’s installed and what version each one is at.

STEP 3

You get your numbers

Plain English, on screen, yours to keep.

Ten minutes from now you’ll know exactly where your computer stands. Most people have never been able to say that about theirs.

Before you download

Who’s asking you to run this

It stays on us. Not a trial. Run it on every computer in the house.

It doesn’t change anything. It reads, it counts, it reports — it doesn’t fix, and it doesn’t try to.

No obligation, ever. The scan is how you’ll meet my team at Forward To Safety, and gain some peace of mind.

The detailed report is optional. The scan is on us. If you want step-by-step instructions afterward, that’s a paid report, and you’ll see the price before you decide.
