Why This Workshop

A Practical Working Session

A leader walking through a workflow with their team, examining where it could be improved

AI can support hundreds of tasks. The question is where it should.

The challenge for most leaders is no longer finding possible uses for AI. It is determining which workflows are worth applying AI to, where meaningful value can be created, and what should be prioritized first.

In this practical workshop, you will learn how to examine the work already happening across your role, team, or business and identify where AI could produce measurable improvements in time, cost, capacity, quality, decision-making, customer experience, or business outcomes.

Rather than starting with an AI tool and asking what you can do with it, you will learn to start with the work, understand the problem or opportunity, and determine whether AI is the right intervention.

No technical background is required. The focus is on developing the judgment leaders need to identify and prioritize strong AI opportunities.

Start with the work.

Identify the opportunity.

Assess the value.

Prioritize what matters.

Curriculum in Depth

What Participants Will Learn

Module 1

Workflow Discovery and AI Opportunity Identification

Participants will learn:

  • How to break down a business process or recurring activity into workflows, tasks, decisions, inputs, and outputs.
  • How to identify repetitive work, bottlenecks, delays, manual handoffs, information gaps, and other areas where AI may create value.
  • Which characteristics make a workflow more or less suitable for AI assistance or automation.
  • How to distinguish between a task that can use AI and a workflow where AI would actually be valuable.
  • Why AI opportunity identification should begin with business needs and workflow realities rather than available tools.
  • How human judgment, risk, data sensitivity, and accountability affect whether an AI opportunity should move forward.
Module 2

Value Assessment and Opportunity Prioritization

Participants will learn:

  • How to evaluate AI opportunities based on potential business value, feasibility, risk, and implementation effort.
  • How to identify the type of value an AI use case is expected to create, including time savings, increased capacity, improved quality, reduced cost, faster decisions, or better customer outcomes.
  • How to avoid prioritizing highly visible AI ideas that have little operational or strategic value.
  • How to develop an initial value hypothesis before investing in an AI solution.
  • How to compare multiple AI opportunities and determine which should be explored first.
  • How to define simple measures that can later be used to determine whether an AI implementation is actually producing value.

Who This Workshop Is For

Designed for the people responsible for making work better.

This workshop is designed for nontechnical professionals, leaders, managers, business owners, and organizational decision-makers who want to move beyond experimenting with AI tools and begin identifying where AI can create meaningful operational or business value.

A small team reviewing data together to assess where a change would create real value

It is especially useful if you are:

  • Responsible for improving a process, service, team, or business.
  • Exploring where AI could improve productivity or capacity.
  • Evaluating multiple possible AI use cases and unsure where to begin.
  • Trying to connect AI adoption with measurable outcomes.
  • Leading AI conversations without needing to become a developer.
  • Looking for a structured way to decide what should and should not be AI-enabled.

You do not need an AI strategy or technical team to participate. You need a real workflow, process, or business challenge you are willing to examine.

Good to Know

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a technical background to attend?
No. This workshop is designed for leaders, professionals, managers, and business owners rather than developers. You will not be learning how to code or build an AI system. You will be learning how to examine work, identify AI opportunities, evaluate potential value, and make better adoption decisions.
Do I need to have attended the August workshop?
No. The September workshop builds naturally on the foundations of responsible AI adoption, but it is designed to stand on its own. If you already understand the basics of generative AI and want to identify practical applications within your work or organization, you can participate directly.
Should I come with a specific workflow or business problem?
Ideally, yes. You will get the most value from the session if you bring one recurring process, responsibility, operational challenge, or area of work that you would like to examine. If you do not already have one identified, the workshop will help you discover potential workflows during the session.
Will we build an AI tool during the workshop?
No. This session happens before tool selection or implementation. The objective is to determine where AI could create enough value to justify further exploration. Once the right opportunity has been identified, decisions about tools, pilots, automation, or implementation become much more informed.
How is this different from simply brainstorming AI use cases?
Brainstorming asks: β€œWhat could we use AI for?”This workshop asks: β€œWhere is there a meaningful business or workflow problem, could AI improve it, how much value might that create, and is this opportunity worth pursuing?”That distinction helps prevent organizations from investing time and resources in AI initiatives that are interesting but ultimately low-value.
What happens after I identify an opportunity?
You will leave with a prioritized opportunity and an initial value hypothesis that can be developed into an AI pilot, business case, workflow redesign, or implementation initiative. Future AI Ready Leaders workshops will continue developing the capabilities required to move from identifying opportunities to responsibly implementing and measuring AI adoption.
