Leadership AI workshops

AI workshops for boards and leadership teams.

Good AI decisions start with leaders who have used it themselves. Hands on sessions on your own work, in safe sandboxes, built on the approach that took GenAI adoption at Freshfields from 40% to 80% in six weeks.

Board briefing

Half day

What AI can and cannot do for your business, the risks in plain terms, and the questions the board should be asking.

Leadership lab

One day

Executives use AI on their own work in a safe sandbox, then agree where it should and should not go.

Use case sprint

Two days

A leadership team leaves with ranked use cases, an owner for each and a number each one has to move.

What a session covers

Your own work

Leaders use AI on the documents and tasks they actually handle, in a sandbox that keeps data safe.

The honest limits

Where it gets things wrong and how to check it, so the trust your people place in it is earned.

Risk in plain terms

What the EU AI Act asks of you, and what people can and cannot paste into a public tool.

An owner for every idea

Every session ends with candidate use cases, a named owner for each and the number it should move.

From 40% to 80% in six weeks.

At Freshfields, GenAI adoption across 2,500 lawyers had stalled at 40%. Partners were sceptical, and in law the risk of a confident wrong answer is existential. Adoption moved when the approach changed from technology demos to safe sandboxes and training built around real legal workflows.

These workshops use the same approach for your leadership. Read the Freshfields story.

Questions

Who should attend?

Boards, executive teams and the senior managers who will own AI decisions.

Which AI tools do you use?

Whatever your security team approves. We are vendor neutral, and part of the session is showing how to judge tools on your own work rather than on a demo.

In person or online?

In person works best, on your site or ours in Amsterdam. Online sessions are possible for briefings.

What happens after the workshop?

Some teams run with the use cases themselves. Others ask us to take the first one into production with a forward deployed team.

Put AI in your leaders' hands.

Thirty minutes to shape a session around your business: who should be in the room, which work to use, and what the board needs to leave with.
