CALGARY, AB — August 2026
We are pleased to announce that Lexus of Royal Oak, led by Todd Richardson, is the successful bidder for the AI training gift certificate, turning the opportunity into a dedicated off-site learning experience for a team of business leaders.
Richardson is recognized for his progressive and strategic approach to integrating artificial intelligence into business. He actively uses AI to enhance research, streamline processes, strengthen analysis and decision-making, and improve overall organizational effectiveness.
Central to his approach is the belief that AI is not a replacement for people, but a powerful tool that can enhance their capabilities, expand their thinking, and help them perform at a higher level.
Todd’s strong belief in people and their potential has shaped how he approaches emerging technology. He sees AI as an opportunity to empower individuals, foster innovation and give teams new tools to achieve stronger results in an increasingly dynamic business environment.
As the successful bidder, Richardson will bring together a group of leaders for an off-site, full-day AI learning experience. The day will provide an opportunity for participants to step away from their regular work environment, explore the practical application of AI and consider how these tools can support both individual performance and broader organizational goals.
“Todd’s approach reflects exactly the kind of leadership mindset that makes AI adoption meaningful. The real opportunity isn’t simply learning how to use new technology — it’s understanding how to use it to strengthen people, improve decision-making and create better ways of working.”
The session will focus on practical, real-world applications of artificial intelligence, giving participants an opportunity to explore how AI can become an effective part of their everyday work while keeping human judgment, experience and creativity at the centre.
We look forward to welcoming Todd and his leadership team for a day of learning, collaboration and practical exploration of what AI can make possible in the workplace.
