AI for Real businesses
What to Start, What to Stop, What to Scale
Run it as a full 2-day deep dive, or a flexible 6-part series of half-day (or 90-minute) modules.
Participants who complete all touchpoints earn an "AI-Ready Leader" credential.
The AI Economy.
Why this matters now:
AI is no longer a side experiment - it's fast becoming a core driver of growth, productivity and competitive advantage:
- Automates routine work and frees staff for higher-value tasks
- Helps small teams act like much larger ones
- Reduces errors and improves consistency across operations
- Enhances customer experience through personalization and faster response
- Creates new products, services and revenue opportunities
ABOUT OUR
WORKSHOP
For Entrepreneurs (Founders & Visionaries)
Use AI as a growth engine, not a gadget. Spot new service lines, scalable models and high-leverage bets.
For Managers (Systems & Integrators)
Turn AI into part of your operating system. Map workflows, fix bottlenecks, and build AI-ready SOPs - so your teams run smoother, faster, and with real visibility.
For Technicians (Operator & Doers)
AI clears the grunt work so you can focus on high-quality execution. Learn what to automate, how to use AI as your "first-draft" assistant, and how to boost accuracy.
From preparation to execution, participants leave equipped with a customized 90-day transformation plan aligned to their readiness, priorities, and path to scale.
Day 1 - Executive Intensive
Day 2 - Practical Implementation
01
The AI Imperative in Manufacturing
See how AI front-runners pull ahead on cost, quality, and throughput—and why those gaps widen. Learn the four forces pushing manufacturers toward AI, ready or not. Pinpoint your position on the benchmark curve and what it signals for competitiveness. Spot the KPI patterns that quietly indicate rising operational risk.

The Executive Shadow AI Coach
For 30 days, each participant is paired with an AI-assisted “shadow coach” that quietly sits in the room with them—digitally. It converts meeting notes into clear action items, recommends SOP improvements, flags automation opportunities, and tracks their alignment with the 90-day plan. The result is a constant, intelligent layer of reinforcement that helps leaders integrate new behaviours and accelerate execution in real time.
The AI Fire Drill Scenario Day
This immersive simulation plunges teams into a high-pressure fictional crisis—such as a forecasting failure, supply chain disruption, customer volume spike, or sudden staffing shortage—and challenges them to use AI to design rapid, strategic responses. It creates a high-drama, high-learning environment where leaders pressure-test their decision-making, adaptability, and AI fluency under realistic constraints.
“Build Your Own AI Advisor”
In this hands-on lab, participants design and leave with their own custom AI advisor tailored to their role—whether a finance forecasting assistant, HR policy co-pilot, sales call analyzer, or operations SOP builder. These agents can be deployed across teams or departments, giving organizations a practical suite of AI tools built directly from their people’s real workflows and needs.
Business Model Reinvention Sprint
This high-intensity, 3-hour executive sprint helps leaders explore how AI can reshape their business model by unlocking new products, revenue lines, efficiency gains, partnership opportunities, and smarter pricing strategies. The session concludes with a sharp, one-page strategic blueprint that distills the most viable AI-powered growth paths for the organization.
