Workshop
AI: Art of the Possible
Everyone agrees AI is a big deal. Far fewer have sat their leadership team in one room to decide what to actually do about it. This workshop is that room. Over a day or two, we look at what AI does in real companies today (the deployed-and-measured version, not the keynote fantasy), find where your competition is about to pull ahead, and walk out with a plan your leaders actually agree on.
"Strategy is about inventing the future, not extrapolating the past."
Gary Hamel
What you'll walk out with
A workshop to open your team's mind and prepare your company for an AI future that's already showing up.
A real picture of what AI does today
We look at AI that companies have actually deployed and measured, not the demo that wowed everyone at the conference. The version with an ROI attached (which is rarer than the demos would have you believe).
The blind spots you can't see from inside
Every industry has someone quietly building the thing that will make the incumbents nervous. We find yours before they announce it.
Permission to think in multiples
Incremental thinking gets incremental results. We spend real time on the 10x version of your business, then sort out which parts are actually doable by Tuesday.
A leadership team pointed the same direction
Most AI plans die because the leadership team never actually agreed on one direction. We fix that in the room, and you leave aligned (which, if you've ever run a leadership offsite, you know is the whole ballgame).
Three Ways to Run It
Half a day is enough to get the conversation started. Give it two days and you walk out with a roadmap. We scale it to how far your team is ready to go.
Half Day
Imagine
The on-ramp: we open minds and set the table.
- Welcome to the Future
- What's Really Possible Today
- What Is the Competition Doing?
- Our Path Forward
Full Day
Brainstorm
Everything in Imagine, plus:
We stop watching AI happen to other companies and start building your ideas.
- Surpass the Competition
- Disruption War Games
- Reimagine Workflows
- Define. Refine. Align.
Two Days
Plan
Everything in Brainstorm, plus:
We turn the ideas into a roadmap with names and dates on it.
- Why Do We Need to Change?
- How Will We Get There?
- Who Will Lead What?
- What Will We Prioritize?
Led by Edward Roske.
Who runs it
I've spent 25+ years founding and running technology companies, written 15 books on enterprise software, and spoken in 50+ countries across all 7 continents. These days I build AI tools for enterprise finance, host the Asking Good Questions podcast, and run the largest AI community in Puerto Rico.
I've advised Fortune 500 executives and three-person startups, sometimes in the same week. The workshop pulls from all of it. The real work is getting your leaders to ask better questions about your own business (which, conveniently, is the one thing I've spent a career practicing).
Ready when your team is
If your leadership team is ready to stop reading about AI and start deciding what to do with it, let's talk. Tell me about your company and what you're trying to figure out, and we'll design the version that fits.
