- Implementation roadmap with 30-day action plan
Curriculum
Five modules. Five outcomes.
01 AI Reality Check
Separate what AI can do from what vendors claim. Understand capabilities and limitations. Learn to evaluate AI claims with the skepticism they deserve.
Includes hands-on exercises with real-world examples and a vendor claim evaluation framework.
02 Finding Your Opportunities
Map your processes. Find the patterns. Identify where AI adds genuine value versus where it's a solution looking for a problem.
Walk away with a scored list of your top opportunities and a process mapping template.
03 Building the Business Case
Calculate real ROI with our worksheet. Assess real risks — technical, organizational, and vendor. Build a proposal that gets buy-in because it's honest about costs, timelines, and contingencies.
04 Evaluating Solutions
Build versus buy framework. Vendor evaluation without hand-waving. Technical due diligence for non-technical leaders.
The questions that separate real capability from polished demos.
05 Planning Your Project
Roadmap creation, change management, success metrics, and your first-30-days action plan. Leave with something you can execute on Monday morning.
Includes all templates in editable format.
Teaching case studies
Real problems. Real numbers.
These case studies are used in the workshop to illustrate key concepts with real-world outcomes.
Professional Services
Document Processing
A 150-person law firm automated contract review and data extraction. Paralegals went from 40 hours per week of manual processing to 8, with fewer errors and zero missed deadlines.
Results
80% reduction in processing time. Error rate dropped from 5% to under 1%. Payback in 7 months. Year-one ROI: 66%.
Manufacturing
Legacy Modernization
A 75-person manufacturer modernized a 15-year-old operations system using the strangler fig pattern. No big-bang rewrite, no disruption to production.
Results
Month-end reports went from 8 hours to 10 minutes. Maintenance costs dropped 75%. Payback in 15 months.
Quick Win
Meeting Summarization
A 30-person consulting firm deployed off-the-shelf AI meeting tools. One day to evaluate, one day to configure, one week pilot, then firm-wide rollout.
Results
Documentation time per meeting dropped from 45 minutes to 10. Saved 729 hours per year. ROI: 1,400%+.
Manufacturing
Quality Control
A 100-person food manufacturer deployed AI visual inspection across their production line. Moved from sampling every 10th item to inspecting 100% of products with consistent accuracy across all shifts.
Results
Defect escapes cut 50%. Returns reduced 50%. Production speed up 10%. Payback in 14 months. 3-year ROI: 180%.
What we also teach
Why AI projects fail.
We don't just teach success stories. Module 1 includes a detailed failure analysis: a retail company spent $200K on a chatbot that was cancelled after 6 months.
- Vendor demos used curated examples, not real data
- Expected 70% automation, achieved 15%
- No change management plan for the team
- Customer satisfaction dropped during pilot
Understanding why projects fail is as important as knowing how to succeed. Every module includes both.
