Course Overview

This hands-on workshop transforms cross-functional teams from AI curious to AI ready, with concrete implementation plans in hand. Over two intensive days, you’ll move beyond theoretical possibilities to identify, validate, and plan specific AI initiatives tailored to your organization. Through structured discovery exercises and collaborative prioritization, teams will surface high-value opportunities, develop business cases, and create detailed technical roadmaps that bridge the gap between vision and execution.

The workshop emphasizes practical outcomes over conceptual learning. You’ll work directly on your organization’s challenges, using proven frameworks to assess technical feasibility, quantify business value, and map implementation dependencies. By the end, each team will have a prioritized portfolio of AI initiatives, complete with epic-level breakdowns, RACI matrices, risk mitigation strategies, and 90-day action plans ready for immediate execution.
