AI Workflow Automation & Operational Systems for Events, Hospitality, and Growth-Stage Operations I’ve spent 12 years producing 300+ events and a decade leading enterprise-scale operations, building systems that saved 100K+ hours and $5M+ in measurable value. Across events, hospitality, and operations teams, the problem is consistent: Manual coordination scales with volume instead of becoming more efficient. Event teams manage 50+ vendors per event using disconnected tools. Hospitality managers solve workforce scheduling constraints manually each week. Operations teams re-enter data across systems, reconcile discrepancies, build reports from scattered sources, and waste hours searching for information across platforms that don’t integrate. I build AI-powered systems, automation workflows, and production-grade platforms that eliminate operational friction. At The McBurney Group, I design and implement: • AI agents and intelligent automation workflows • System integration and cross-platform orchestration • Workforce scheduling automation • Meeting intelligence and document processing systems • Operational dashboards and reporting automation • Custom-built AI production applications 100+ workflows and automation systems deployed across events, hospitality, and operational environments. Industry Focus Events Vendor coordination automation, timeline generation, budget intelligence, and communication workflows for event companies and independent planners. Hospitality Workforce scheduling systems, compliance tracking, turnover reduction, and operational efficiency builds for hotels, venues, and restaurants. Growth-Stage Operations Meeting intelligence, knowledge retrieval systems, document automation, workflow orchestration, and AI-driven process optimization for coordination-heavy businesses. I came from operations and learned to build with AI, not the other way around. Most automation initiatives fail when technology is implemented without redesigning workflow reality. I architect complete systems where AI agents, workflows, platforms, and people work together. I build implemented solutions, not theoretical strategies.
