Executive intensive · 16 hours

Know where AI pays off.

A 16-hour working session for leaders. What to build, what to buy, what it really costs, and how to keep it safe. No technical background needed.

What you walk out with

  • A ranked shortlist of your processes worth putting AI into.
  • A cost model you can defend to the board: build vs. buy, and the real running cost.
  • A security and governance setup that lets you say yes safely.
  • A clear way to know a use case worked before you scale it.
  • A funded 90-day plan with an owner, a budget and a go / no-go gate.

The curriculum

Hours 1 to 8

Sizing the opportunity and the risk

01

The honest state of AI

What AI actually does well, where it fails, and why most pilots never reach the P&L. In business terms, not tech terms.

02

Which processes are ready for AI

We score your own processes live: task frequency, cost of a mistake, data available, measurable result. You leave with a ranked list: Now, Next, Not-yet.

03

What changes for the business

Org design, headcount vs. redeployment, quality control and customer trust when a process goes AI-assisted.

Hours 9 to 16

Costing, controlling and committing

04

What AI really costs

Build vs. buy, and the hidden costs vendors skip: integration, testing, human review, maintenance. We build a live cost model for two of your candidates.

05

Security, data and governance

What happens to your data, where the real risks are, and a right-sized set of rules. Output: a one-page policy.

06

Knowing it worked

Define success before you build: which numbers to watch, what error rate is acceptable, and the go / no-go gate.

07

The commit

Each leader leaves with a funded 90-day plan for their top use case: owner, budget, success criteria and a board-ready one-pager.
