One Strategy, One Governance Framework, 5.3× ROI to Back It

Your company already has AI showing up everywhere - but as scattered pilots with no strategy and no guardrails. You can't say which bets matter, who owns them, or where the risk really sits. In four hours, on your own business, that changes.

The math: teams that adopt AI properly run 25.1% faster on AI-suitable tasks - about 2.5 hours back per person, every week - which compounds into a 5.3× annualized ROI (Harvard Business School × BCG; U.S. BLS labor data). Break-even is ~28 minutes saved per person per week.

Proven on real teams. The same shape of session we ran for Modern Health, where Product, Ops, Design and Engineering each shipped a working build on their own data in a single day; MPB, 5× faster listing throughput; and Type B Digital, operator output lifted 2.5×.

One date, your whole team. Bring two people or twenty, no cap on numbers. Nobody experiments alone - everyone walks out on one setup and one shared way of working. Your leadership walks out aligned on one AI strategy and one governance framework.

What you’ll learn

Your leadership leaves with an AI adoption roadmap and a lightweight governance framework, agreed as a team.

Rank AI opportunities by value, effort, and risk together
Pick the two or three places to start, with reasons your team agrees on
Set what good looks like so you can tell if it worked

Decide what data and tools are allowed, and what is not
Set who approves new AI uses and how fast they can move
Write rules short enough that people will actually read them

Agree on the plan as a team, not in separate silos
Name owners and timelines for the first wave of work
Leave with a roadmap and a policy your board can see

Workshop agenda

Before the day: Discovery call (1 hour, free)
We learn your business, your current AI use, your risk appetite, and where adoption has stalled.
Hour 1: Where the value is
We map your AI opportunities and weigh each one on value, effort, and risk as a leadership group.
Hour 2: Sequence the roadmap
We turn the shortlist into an ordered plan with owners, milestones, and a way to measure success.
Hour 3: Build the governance framework
We draft the rules for data, tools, and approvals, kept light so adoption stays fast.
Hour 4: Pressure test and commit
We stress the plan against your real constraints, fix the gaps, and lock the first decisions.
After the day: Office hour
A follow-up session to refine the roadmap and governance as the first projects get moving.

Testimonials

Engineers improved the real systems they ship every day, and left with production-ready Claude integrations and a reusable AI playbook.
WireApps
AI-first engineering agency, 50+ engineers. Six-week cohort.
In a single on-site day, Product, Ops, Design and Engineering each shipped a working build on their own real data, using Claude Code and MCP.
Modern Health
Global mental health platform (Lyft, EA, Ancestry). On-site workshop.
A two-day cohort delivered 5x faster listing throughput and 14 production tools shipped on the team's own systems.
MPB
The world's largest used-camera marketplace. Two-day cohort.
Over a five-day cohort the team shipped 8 client-ready automations and lifted operator output 2.5x.
Type B Digital
Strategy consultancy. Five-day cohort.
I sent my team through this training for upskilling, and the results have been remarkable. Within weeks, they became much more efficient at building automations and deploying AI agents at work. This program bridges the gap between theory and practice and it’s had a real impact on our productivity.
Aamir Faaiz
CEO of Bayseian
The AI training approach is outstanding. Our team learned to build practical AI solutions that we could implement immediately in our educational platform. The hands-on methodology made complex AI concepts accessible to our entire development team.
