Move from AI experiments to business impact

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 Data

of organizations have executive teams involved in AI decisions but authority is fragmented across CEO, CTO and business

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.

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.

"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
