Find Your Team's First AI Project in 4 Hours

Othon Tzobras

AI Product Manager at WPP · Ex-Deloitte

Stop collecting AI ideas. Pick one your team can actually run.

Every team is being asked to "do something with AI". Most end up with a long list of ideas, a few scattered experiments, and nothing a manager will back.

In this 4-hour hands-on workshop, you work on your own team's real work:

✅ Map one real workflow, step by step

✅ Find exactly where time and quality are lost

✅ Learn what AI can and can't do, in plain words

✅ Score your ideas and pick the one worth doing first

You leave with:

🎯 One clear AI project for your team

📄 A one-page plan your boss can approve: the problem, the idea, a 4-week test and what you need from your decision-maker

🧰 Templates and tools to run it again with your team

I've run 100+ design sprints at Deloitte and trained 400+ leaders. Today I deliver AI work for global brands at WPP. This workshop is the first step of the same method.

What you’ll learn

Go from "we should use AI" to one clear AI project and a plan your boss can approve.

Pick one workflow from your team, not a whole department
Map it step by step and mark where time and quality are lost
Check your pain points with a peer so you fix the real problem

The four kinds of AI in plain words: rules, machine learning, generative AI and agents
Real examples from teams like yours, and where AI is the wrong answer
Turn your pain points into 3 concrete AI ideas

Run each idea through a simple AI-fit check
Score value against how doable it is, with the same grid I use with clients
Test your pick with a peer before you commit

The problem, the AI idea and who it helps, on one page
How you'll test it in 4 weeks, and what you need from your decision-maker
Live feedback on your plan in the hot seat
