Jumpstart AI: Workshops That Transform Your Organization’s AI Thinking to Accelerate Productivity Improvement — Cost Effectively

Go from just “experimenting with AI” to achieving meaningful outcomes from every initiative

Jumpstart AI Workshop Focus

With our Jumpstart AI workshops, instead of treating AI as an academic concept,
we treat AI as a business strategy with a clear two-pronged approach.

Mindset & Knowledge

We address critical AI knowledge gaps from a business context and present them in highly relatable terms.

Frameworks & Strategies

We provide repeatable frameworks & strategies for all tiers of the organization to leverage and collaborate on.

Popular Workshop Themes

INTRODUCTION TO AI: FOUNDATIONS, OPPORTUNITIES & RISKS

An introductory workshop where participants will learn what AI is and isn’t, its benefits to a business (including real-world use cases), and the dangers and risks that it presents. An entry point into more advanced workshops.

DISCOVERING HIGH-IMPACT AI OPPORTUNITIES & MEASURING AI SUCCESS

Master robust frameworks to discover AI opportunities within workflows and legacy software, and frame initiatives to enforce measurability. You’ll also leave with complete know-how to measure AI ROI with a practical and balanced approach.

DEVELOPING YOUR ORGANIZATION’S AI STRATEGY

Learn the art of developing an actionable AI strategy tailored to your organization’s unique challenges. You’ll learn the pillars of AI preparation, create a long-term vision, and start short-term planning. By the end of the workshop, you’ll leave with a partial AI strategy, that you’ll build on long after the workshop.

Workshop Structure

INDUSTRY RELEVANT

Our workshops are designed to be relevant to your business problems and industry. The context will help spark ideas that are realistic and accelerate the mindset changes needed to see success with AI.
