About Mike Allton
Mike Allton is an international AI keynote speaker and workshop facilitator focused on helping organizations move beyond experimenting with AI toward measurable performance.
His core perspective is that AI belongs on your org chart, not your tech stack. Through The AI Hat, Mike operates a Digital Crew of AI agents with named roles, written charters and standing rules that establish what an agent never decides.
Mike helps organizations build Digital Crews of their own, moving leaders away from the risks of Shadow AI and toward governed, practical workflows where AI agents handle research and administrative work while humans focus on relationships and work that requires human judgment.
He addresses the operational realities of Admin Drag, including re-keying, chasing and hunting for information, as well as Pilot Purgatory, where teams have numerous AI tools but remain burdened by spreadsheets and manual processes.
Mike translates AI strategy into practical workflows that teams can implement on Monday morning. He has spent two decades translating technical concepts into plain English.
He is the host of The AI Hat Podcast, author of AI Prompts for Medicare Agents, co-author of The Ultimate Guide to Social Media Marketing, and an advisor to leaders ready to move from experimentation to implementation.
