AI Innovation Workshop
Most organizations have AI running somewhere. The question is: how do you turn those experiments into measurable business change? In two intensive days, we work backwards from your most important business outcomes to build a concrete roadmap that stakeholders actually fund.
The AI transformation paradox
Use an image or video and position it to the left or right of the screen. You can also use rich body text to describe the media. Avoid in-line links if you use the dedicated link field.
The Data
Cite competing organizational priorities as blocking AI value realization
Cite lack of a clear generative AI roadmap/strategy as a main challenge
Who should be in the room
AI transformation succeeds when the right stakeholders align early. This workshop brings together 15-20 cross-functional leaders.
Business Leaders
The people who own P&L and understand the business problems worth solving
- COO / Business Unit
- LeadersVP Operations / Strategy
- Product Leaders
Technology Leaders
The people who understand what's technically possible and own platform decisions
- CTO / CIO
- VP Engineering / Architecture
- Data & AI Leaders
Execution Teams
The people who will actually build and operate the solutions
- Solution Architects
- Data Engineers
- Product Managers
How it works
A structured journey from business challenge to funded roadmap using Amazon's Working Backwards methodology.
Preparation
~2 weeks before the workshop, we work with your team to identify the right strategic use case, select participants, and align on business challenges. This ensures we hit the ground running on Day 1.
Day 1: Think Big
We start with what matters: the business outcome. Define personas and pain points, envision the ideal future experience, create a visual storyboard, and write a "Press Release" of success.
Day 2: Build the Plan
Work backwards from the vision to design what needs to be built. Map data requirements, design high-level architecture, define MVP scope, and create a 60-90 day implementation roadmap.
Post-Workshop: Execute
You leave with everything needed to execute. Build the working prototype in 60-90 days, prove the concept with real value, validate with users, and demonstrate ROI to stakeholders.
What you walk away with
Concrete deliverables ready for stakeholder presentation and immediate execution
Vision Document
PR/FAQ and storyboard that clearly articulates the future state and value proposition
Technical Architecture
High-level design using AWS services matched to your specific needs
Implementation Roadmap
60-90 day plan with concrete milestones, quick wins, and scaling strategy
Stakeholder Alignment
Cross-functional agreement on priorities, success metrics, and next steps
Tailored to where you are
Every organization starts from a different place. We shape the workshop to fit your situation.
"We need executive alignment first"
Your C-suite isn't yet aligned on AI priorities, you need help identifying where to start, or you need to build the business case before mobilizing cross-functional teams.
We start with a focused half-day session bringing 10-15 senior leaders together to align on strategic objectives, prioritize use cases, and establish success metrics. This creates the foundation and executive sponsorship for broader execution.
Half-day executive session → 2-day intensive
"We have an idea but need help"
Your leadership is aligned on AI as a priority, you have a use case in mind, and you need to move from vision to execution.
We go straight to the 2-day intensive, bringing together 15-20 cross-functional leaders to work backwards from business outcomes, design the solution, and build a concrete 60-90 day roadmap that stakeholders fund.
2-day intensive → 60-90 day implementation
