The conversation around artificial intelligence is no longer about the future—it’s about taking action today.
On July 23, I had the privilege of presenting AI Advantage 201: Implementing AI for Business Growth and Supplier Readiness for the National Veteran Business Development Council (NVBDC), where veteran business owners from across the country joined us to learn practical strategies for using AI to grow their businesses, improve operations, and become more competitive with corporate and government buyers.
Building on the foundation established in AI Advantage 101, this advanced session focused on turning AI into a business tool that delivers measurable results.
What We Covered
During the webinar, attendees learned how to leverage today’s leading AI platforms to:
- Develop stronger capability statements
- Create high-quality marketing content in minutes
- Analyze business data to identify trends and opportunities
- Improve proposal development and supplier readiness
- Optimize websites and content for Google AI Overviews and Answer Engine Optimization (AEO)
- Automate repetitive business tasks
- Build marketing assets without hiring an agency
- Create workflows that save time and increase productivity
The session also explored how veteran-owned businesses can use AI responsibly by verifying AI-generated content, avoiding common pitfalls, and developing better prompts that produce significantly better results.
Continuing the Learning with Technical Assistance
Education doesn’t end when the webinar does.
As part of NVBDC’s ongoing commitment to supporting veteran-owned businesses, attendees will have access to technical assistance to help them implement what they learned. Whether it’s refining AI prompts, developing marketing strategies, improving capability statements, or identifying practical AI applications for their business, this additional support is designed to help veteran entrepreneurs move from learning to execution.
Our goal isn’t just to teach AI—it’s to help veteran-owned businesses successfully apply it.
