Identify High-ROI Workflows Ready for AI

AI applied to the wrong workflows leads to chaos. This course helps Enterprise teams launch successful AI pilots by aligning on workflows, roles & responsibilities, risks, guardrails, and AI functional requirements before major investments.

Industry reports suggest that over half of enterprise AI pilots never scale to production. Many pilots stall because the workflows were not ready for AI.

This course addresses the real bottleneck: cross-functional alignment on key details before committing to technical debt.

You will leave with:

  • An AI Workflow Canvas: A structured way to identify where AI can move the needle in your organization

  • An AI Workflow Scorecard: A shared evaluation framework your cross-functional team can use to assess value, feasibility, data readiness, and risk

  • A Thin-Slice Prototype: Storyboards, scene cards, and an action flow diagram that aligns stakeholders across PM, DS, UX, Eng, and Biz on exactly what the AI system will do, feasibility and risk, and where humans are needed in the loop.

What you’ll learn

Shift from ad hoc AI efforts to disciplined, structured, workflow-driven collaboration before significant investment.

  • Diagnose workflow friction across teams and systems

  • Distinguish AI-appropriate problems from low-value automation

  • Recognize signals that indicate cross-functional AI potential

  • Apply the AI Workflow Canvas to clarify problem framing

  • Use a scorecard to evaluate feasibility, impact, and risk

  • Compare initiatives using shared cross-functional language

  • Map responsibilities across Product, Data, UX, and Engineering

  • Surface ownership gaps and overlaps early

  • Define accountability before resources are committed

  • Identify data, technical, and operational constraints

  • Expose regulatory and compliance considerations

  • Address ambiguity before solutioning begins

  • Use storyboards and scene cards to clarify expectations

  • Align on model core capabilities before technical implementation

  • Reduce misunderstanding through shared artifacts

  • Establish pre-pilot alignment signals

  • Validate cross-functional agreement on scope and risk

  • Confirm organizational readiness before investment
