The half day, hour by hour

What we actually do in the room

Three and a half hours. Structured. Practical. No pre-recorded content, no chatbot avatars. You leave with an owned plan.

  1. 0:00 – 0:30
    Where AI actually creates advantage

    Cutting through the hype, with a practical example of where AI can create an advantage you can apply immediately.

  2. 0:30 – 1:15
    Map your business

    Leaders identify where time, cost and opportunity are leaking across sales, ops, service and admin.

  3. 1:15 – 1:30
    Break

    Coffee, conversation, and a chance to compare notes across the leadership team.

  4. 1:30 – 2:15
    How to Prioritise the Opportunities

    Score each opportunity against effort vs impact. Build a simple 2x2 the room agrees on together.

  5. 2:15 – 3:00
    Build the roadmap

    Turn the top 3 to 5 priorities into an owned, dated action plan: who does what, by when, with what tool.

  6. 3:00 – 3:30
    Guardrails & governance

    Safe, practical rules for data, customer information and AI use across the team.

  7. 3:30 – 3:50
    Close & next steps

    Leaders leave with a working AI Strategy One-Pager. Not just notes.

  8. 3:50 – 4:00
    Adherence check-in

    Agree how the leadership team will hold each other accountable, with a scheduled check-in to make sure the strategy is actually being progressed.
