Executive AI Workshop

Get Your Board Aligned on AI

Your board knows AI matters. They just don't agree on what to do about it.

// SERVICE_INFO

FORMAT

Half-day, in-person, interactive

AUDIENCE

Board & senior leadership

OUTCOME

Prioritised AI roadmap + individual follow-ups

// THE PROBLEM

The understanding is uneven. Some board members are excited, some are sceptical, some are quietly confused. Shadow AI experiments are popping up across the business. Different teams have their own isolated takes on what AI is or isn't. Complaints are arriving because customers are using ChatGPT to write them. Nobody has a shared view of what's real, what's possible, and which opportunities are actually worth pursuing. You don't need more slides about AI. You need everyone in the same room, looking at the same picture, asking the right questions.

// THE SESSION

A half-day working session — not a briefing, not a pitch, not death-by-slides. When we get in a room together, we show you real things: working systems, live demos, actual examples. Then we have a conversation. That's where the useful stuff happens.

// SESSION DESIGN

Pre-session

Before

We run discussions to get the focus right — your terminology, your hot topics, the questions people are afraid to ask in front of the group.

90 mins

Board AI Briefing

What modern AI is and isn't, in plain English. Practical examples from your sector. What's real, what's hype, what's coming next. Continuous Q&A — not a lecture.

60 mins

Decision Cards

Each board member picks a domain. Everyone answers two questions: one thing your team wishes they never had to do, and one thing you wish you could do but can't today.

60 mins

Use Case Assessment

Cluster the ideas into AI initiatives. Score on impact, feasibility, and time-to-value. Walk out with 3-5 priorities.

60 mins each

After

Individual sessions with each board member. Private space to work through confusions, ask the questions that feel too basic for the group. We come prepared with tailored topics based on their role.

// WHAT YOU WALK OUT WITH

Shared Understanding

A common, de-hyped view of AI across your leadership team. No more isolated takes or uneven understanding.

Prioritised Roadmap

3-5 priority opportunities scored on impact, feasibility, and time-to-value — mapped to your strategic pillars. Not a list of fifty ideas.

Kill Criteria

For each initiative, the conditions under which you'd stop — not just the conditions under which you'd start. Most organisations are good at launching pilots and terrible at killing them.

Individual Clarity

Each leader has had a private conversation to work through their own questions. Nobody is pretending to understand something they don't.

We help enterprises pick the few AI bets that matter and get them into production.
