Workshop Overview
Overview
Many organisations have AI experiments, vendor conversations and isolated use cases but no shared view of where AI should create value or how to scale it responsibly.
Build an AI Strategy & Transformation Roadmap in One Day is an intensive working session that helps leaders connect business priorities to AI opportunities, make explicit strategic choices and shape a practical roadmap for execution.
Participants work through current-state assessment, ambition setting, use-case portfolio design, capability requirements, governance, operating-model considerations and sequencing. The output is a draft strategy and transformation roadmap that can be refined with wider stakeholders after the workshop.

FAQs
Common questions
Do we need an existing AI strategy?
No. The workshop works for organisations starting from scratch as well as those consolidating multiple AI initiatives.
Can this really be done in one day?
The goal is a strong working draft and aligned set of strategic choices, not a final board-approved strategy. The outputs provide a structured basis for refinement.
Should business and technology leaders attend together?
Yes. Cross-functional participation makes the roadmap more realistic and improves alignment on value, feasibility and ownership.
Do we need a list of use cases in advance?
No, although bringing existing ideas, pilots and strategic priorities will accelerate the work.
Does the workshop cover governance?
Yes. Governance, decision rights, risk and responsible scaling are integrated into the roadmap.
Is this vendor specific?
No. The workshop is business-led and technology-agnostic.
Can it be tailored to one business unit?
Yes. It can be run at enterprise, function, business-unit or transformation-programme level.
What happens after the workshop?
Outputs can be validated with wider stakeholders and developed into detailed business cases, delivery plans and governance mechanisms.
