Workshops and briefings

Smaller ways to start.

Each one ends with a decision, not a reading list.

At your office or onlineNinety minutes to half a day
Two formats

AI Leadership Alignment

Get your leaders to one shared position on what AI is for here, and what to do first. Run it as a ninety minute briefing, or as a half day decision session.

Executive AI Briefing . 90 minutesAlignment Workshop . half a day

Who it is for

Owners, chief executives, managing directors, chief operating officers and senior leadership teams of roughly four to ten. Especially useful when one or two leaders are enthusiastic, one or two are sceptical, and nobody has said so out loud.

Format

The briefing runs well online. The workshop is markedly better in a room, because the value is in the discussion between your own people. Four to ten people. The workshop includes the AI Readiness Check as pre work so it starts from evidence rather than opinion.

What happens

01

The honest state of play

What has genuinely changed in the last year, what has not, and which of the things you have been told are urgent are actually urgent. Both formats.

02

What it looks like in practice

Real examples on ordinary work. Concrete, unglamorous, and more useful than the impressive demonstrations. Both formats.

03

The risks nobody raises at conferences

Where the exposure sits for a business your size, including what is already happening in yours whether or not anyone has told you. Both formats.

04

Where we each actually stand

A structured, slightly uncomfortable exercise that surfaces the real range of views, including the sceptical ones. Nothing useful gets decided until this is on the table. Workshop only.

05

Where the opportunity really sits

Your own ways of working mapped against effort, risk and value, moving the conversation from possibilities to a ranked shortlist. Workshop only.

06

What needs rules, and who decides

The handful of positions leadership needs to take, drafted in the room, in plain words. Not a policy document. The four or five sentences the team will actually follow. Workshop only.

07

The first ninety days

What happens, who owns it, and what would count as it having worked. Written down before anyone leaves. Workshop only.

What you leave with

Where it leads: This is the natural bridge into the AI Foundations Sprint. If it shows the opportunity sits inside one specific team, the AI Workflow Discovery Workshop below is the sharper next move.

Half a day, one team

AI Workflow Discovery Workshop

A practical session inside one part of the business. The people who do the work find where the friction actually is, rank it, and leave with a shortlist worth acting on.

Who it is for

One function at a time, with the people who actually do the work rather than the people who describe it. Six to twelve people is the sweet spot. It works because the answers are already in the room and nobody has ever been asked in a structured way.

Format

Half a day per function, at your office. Six to twelve people from that team. Run for one function, or booked as a series across several.

What happens

01

Map the work as it really happens

Not the process diagram. The actual sequence, including the workarounds, the double handling and the bit everyone quietly hates.

02

Find where the time and the frustration go

The team marks the friction themselves. Always more accurate than an audit, and faster.

03

Sort it honestly

Each candidate weighed for effort, risk and value, with the wrong-fit ones ruled out plainly. Not everything should be changed, and saying so builds trust.

04

Pick the one worth proving

One candidate chosen together, with an agreed measure of what better would look like.

05

Agree the next move

What would need to be true to actually do it, who would own it, and what it needs from leadership.

What you leave with

Where it leads: The output is exactly what the AI Foundations Sprint needs in order to start, so many businesses run this first and go straight in. Later on, this same session is how Augmentation picks its next targets.

Half a day

Leadership in the Age of AI

Not what AI can do for the business. What it changes about leading one. A session about the leader rather than the technology.

Who it is for

Senior leaders and the people they are bringing through: executives, general managers, department heads and the next layer down. Run for one leadership team, or as an open session across a peer group. No technical background assumed or useful.

Format

Half a day, in person where possible. Works for a single leadership team or as an open session for a peer group. Can be run as a follow on to AI Leadership Alignment, or entirely on its own.

What happens

01

What your judgement is for now

When a competent first draft of almost anything is a minute away, the scarce thing is knowing which draft is worth having. We work through where your judgement actually adds value, and where you have been adding effort instead.

02

What to keep human on purpose

Some work should stay slow and human even when it does not have to be. Deciding that deliberately, in advance, is a leadership act. Deciding it by drift is not.

03

Where craft quietly erodes

The real risk is not a dramatic failure. It is that the work stays acceptable while the people producing it stop getting better. We look at where that is likely in your business and what holds it off.

04

Leading through a change you cannot fully predict

How to keep a team trusting you when you cannot honestly promise where this lands. What to say, what not to pretend, and how to make uncertainty something people can work inside.

05

What you model, they copy

Your team watches what you actually do with this, not what you say about it. We finish on the specific habits worth being seen to have.

What you leave with

Where it leads: This one is deliberately not a route into a build. Some leaders take it and change nothing operationally for a quarter, which is a reasonable outcome. If it does surface something worth acting on, the AI Foundations Sprint is where that goes.

It adapts

The discovery workshop runs inside whichever team needs it

Rather than a different offer for every department. Commonly run for:

Client servicePlanning and strategyNew businessOperations and deliveryFinance and administrationPeople and cultureCreative and productionLeadership
Practical detail

How these actually run

In person where it matters

The briefing works online. The workshops are markedly better in a room.

The value is in the discussion between your own people, and that does not survive a gallery view. We travel within Australia.

Pricing

A fixed fee agreed before it is booked, with preparation and follow up included.

Not added as extras afterwards. Get in touch and you will have a number the same week.

We will tell you if it is the wrong thing

If a conversation reveals a session would waste your money, we will say so.

That has happened and it will happen again.

Nothing is a disguised sales pitch

These are paid pieces of work that stand on their own.

Plenty of businesses take one and never buy anything else, which is a fine outcome.

Free, before any of it

Start with the AI Readiness Check

It makes any session that follows land considerably harder.
