Most C-level leaders know AI is accelerating by the day. Fewer know exactly where it's paying off.

Vistage's latest research breaks down what's actually working (and what isn't) when it comes to enterprise AI adoption and ROI.

Did you know? 88% of executives expect to increase generative AI spend over the next 12 months, and 3 in 4 are already seeing positive returns. Yet, only 5% of firms are achieving material value at scale—with 60% reporting little impact.

The gap isn't about access to tools. It's about how leaders are making decisions around them.

That's exactly the conversation happening inside Vistage peer groups right now: where Florida's top executives are pressure-testing their AI strategies with peers who've already made the calls.

Then, let’s chat.

Q2 is here and the headlines keep coming. AI is reshaping every org chart. Companies are navigating questions about workforce strategy—and CEOs are charged with prioritizing growth amid global uncertainty.

Truth is, the executives who move fastest aren't the ones who grind harder. They're the ones getting no-holds-barred input from those who've walked the walk.

At Vistage Florida, here’s what next-level leadership looks like:

🧠 Peer problem-solving Pressure-test your biggest Q2 bets with non-competing CEOs who've faced the same calls
🎯 Expert perspective Curated specialists brought in around what's actually moving the needle right now: AI integration, workforce shifts, growth strategy

When you're the final decision-maker, there's no one above you to pressure-test your thinking. That’s where a seasoned C-level peer advisory group comes in.

Vistage Florida brings together the Sunshine State’s best & brightest CEOs and business leaders in confidential peer groups built to disrupt every industry—leaders with no agenda and no reason to tell you what you want to hear. Every month, you bring your biggest opportunities to the table. They bring theirs. The thinking that comes out of that room is something no consultant or coach can replicate.

Almost without fail, the most expensive decisions leaders make are the ones they make in silos.

Steve Dehmlow joined a Vistage peer advisory group in 1993. His family business was doing $124M in revenue.

Today it's a $1.8B international operation across four countries.
By the numbers:

$30M added exit value from peer-tested deal strategy
$2M reduced from acquisition price through negotiation discipline
60%+ niche market share built over three decades

The growth was collective. The wins were shared. The edge was the room—and every major move was pressure-tested by people who'd carried the same weight.

"These were decisions I would not have made on my own, and they paid off immediately."

— Steve Dehmlow, Chairman · Global Specialty Distribution and Manufacturing · Vistage member since 1993

If you're a Florida CEO carrying decisions that feel too big for one perspective, this is what we’re here for.

The proof is in the impact.

The best leaders don't just grow their business. They inspire and help grow the people around them.

“When I look at my overall career, what keeps me going is the opportunity to help people solve problems in a way that doesn't just impact them or myself, but a larger community."— McDuffie James, Vistage Florida Chair.

By the numbers: According to a 2025 study, 75% of Vistage Florida members reported bottom-line growth since day one as a member.

More than high-level collaborators, the relationships Vistage members form go far beyond the boardroom. Where many leaders come for business insights, they stay for the peers who push their thinking—and the accountability that follows them out of the room.

45,000 members. One goal.

That's the Vistage Edge.

The good news: CEO optimism is rising, but the gap between leaders who seize 2026's opportunities and those who hesitate is widening fast.

Vistage and WSJ research reveal 5 business opportunities Florida CEOs can't afford to ignore:

AI as the great equalizer. Small and midsize businesses finally have access to the same tools as enterprise, but only disciplined leaders who embed AI strategically (not experimentally) will pull ahead.

Talent bench-building. With unemployment ticking up, top CEOs are "muscle-building" their teams now, creating environments where high performers feel proud to work.Customer proximity. Getting closer to every single customer protects against surprise defections and validates strategy before deployment.

Macrotrend awareness. Nearshoring, private equity roll-ups, and digital marketing transformation are reshaping competitive landscapes. Smart CEOs are calculating how these trends impact costs, supply chains, and growth opportunities.

Disciplined ex*****on. The best leaders aren't just starting the right things; they're shutting down the wrong ones fast, with clear milestones to gauge success.

The fastest-rising business leaders have a secret weapon, and you won’t find it in a spreadsheet.

Instead, they’ve cracked the code on decision velocity: relying on a trusted C-suite peer group that accelerates pattern recognition and eliminates strategic noise to drive (you guessed it) scalable growth.

Regular sessions with operators facing parallel challenges create a competitive intelligence loop most companies never build: challenging comfortable thinking and redirecting focus to disruptive opportunities.

The result? Less noise. More no-nonsense results.

Is a C-level peer group the superpower you’ve been missing?

Decision-burdened leaders don't lose sleep over small things.

They lose it over calls that could end the game. The acquisition that looked safe, the pivot that's six months late, the margin leak no one else

At scale, a single misstep compounds faster than revenue. That's why the sharpest leaders in the Sunshine State don't decide alone. They stress-test their thinking with peers who've already made (and survived) the same bets.

Vistage Florida gives you a confidential board of CEOs and executives who challenge your assumptions before they become liabilities:

The Vistage Edge
- Peer pre-mortems that kill bad bets before they drain capital
- A Chair who's carried your exact burden
- Discipline that turns isolated judgment into institutional advantage
