Entry · AI Leadership Workshop

Get every exec on the same page about AI.

Two sessions, structured homework, hands-on work. Your team walks out with a shared vocabulary, a prioritized list of AI opportunities specific to your business, and a plan you can execute next week.

An aligned leadership team is the single biggest predictor of AI success.

Most AI projects don't fail in engineering — they fail because the people sponsoring them disagree on what AI is, what it can do, and how to measure it. We fix that in two sessions.

What every exec walks out with.

Six concrete things on day one. Nothing abstract, nothing fluffy.

01

A shared vocabulary for AI

Every leader on the team evaluating AI on the same axes — capabilities, limitations, and the risks that actually matter. No more circular meetings.

02

Visibility on the shadow AI already inside your walls

A clear picture of where AI is being used today — in tools, by employees, in workflows — and the real risk that's already on your books.

03

A prioritized list of opportunities specific to you

Surfaced by your leadership during structured homework, then pressure-tested with our practitioners. Not generic frameworks. Your business.

04

Hands-on with the evaluation process we use

We work through each opportunity together — feasibility, ROI, what kind of solution actually fits. Your team learns the framework, not just the answer.

05

A this-week action plan

Which AI tools to deploy to your team, how to roll out adoption, and the path to identifying what can be fully automated. Concrete, dated, owned.

06

Clarity on tooling vs. custom engineering

You leave knowing exactly which opportunities are solved by better adoption of existing tools — and which actually require something custom built.

How the workshop runs.

Two sessions, two weeks apart. Homework in between. No death-by-deck.

01

Pre-work

Week 0
+

Each exec receives a short briefing pack and a structured homework prompt — three opportunities they think AI could affect in the business, with quick framing. Takes about 45 minutes.

  • Briefing pack
  • Per-exec opportunity sketch
  • Pre-read on common pitfalls
02

Session 1 · Alignment

Week 1 · 3 hrs
+

We build the shared mental model live — what AI actually is, what it can and can't do today, and the framework we use to evaluate opportunities. Then we map your shadow AI exposure together.

  • Shared vocabulary
  • Capabilities + limitations
  • Shadow AI map
  • Risk framework
03

Session 2 · Opportunities

Week 2 · 3 hrs
+

We pressure-test the opportunity list each exec brought to homework, work through your top candidates using our evaluation process, and produce a prioritized action plan.

  • Opportunity pressure-testing
  • Hands-on evaluation
  • Prioritized action plan
  • Tool vs. custom decision
04

Action plan

Same week
+

You leave session 2 with the plan in hand. Which AI tools to roll out, how to drive adoption, what to evaluate next quarter, and which opportunities are candidates for a deeper Blueprint engagement.

  • Tooling rollout plan
  • Adoption cadence
  • Blueprint candidates
  • Owners + dates

Is this the right fit?

Right for you if...

  • You have a leadership team that needs to make decisions about AI in the next 1–2 quarters.
  • You're hearing a lot about AI but aren't sure what's real vs. hype for YOUR business.
  • You suspect there's shadow AI usage inside the company and want a handle on it.
  • You want a low-risk, fast on-ramp before committing to a bigger engagement.

Maybe not yet if...

  • You already know exactly what you want to build and are ready to start tomorrow.
  • You're an individual contributor — this is designed for execs and decision-makers.
  • You're looking for a vendor pitch, not a working session.
