What you'll learn

See the whole canvas at a glance

Walk all three layers and nine building blocks of the AI Operating Model Canvas, from AI Ambition to Measurement System

Spot where AI ROI actually leaks

Map the four failure modes - maturity blindspot, capability gap, operating-model mismatch, ROI-measurement failure

Locate your own weakest layer

Do a rapid self-read across the three layers and walk away knowing which one - Strategic, Operating, or Execution

Why this topic matters

95% of enterprises get zero return on AI - and almost never because the technology failed. It's because AI was funded, governed, and measured like a project, bolted onto an operating model built for human work. In 30 minutes you'll see the nine blocks that actually decide ROI, learn where value leaks, and pinpoint your own weakest layer. It's the map before you redraw it.

Create your AI First Blueprint

I've spent 26 years moving from hands-on engineering and architecture to enterprise transformation and C-suite advisory - leading teams of 40 to 3,000 and programs from $2M to $800M across finance, insurance, telecom, energy, and retail. Across all of them I kept seeing the same thing: capable organizations spending serious money on AI and getting nothing back, because the operating model around it was built for a different era. So I created Protum, an AI-First operating model for agentic AI - the framework this workshop puts in your hands. I'm a 7× Microsoft MVP, author, and international speaker, but the real reason to learn this from me is simpler: I've made these calls with real budgets and real teams, and I'll show you how.
