AI-First Company Transformation Workshop (Maturity Workshop)
A 2-day executive workshop for CEOs, COOs, Chief Transformation Officers, Innovation Directors, and Strategic Planning teams who want to bring mid-to-large companies to the AI-First operating model. Includes AI Maturity Assessment (5 dimensions × 25 metrics), operating model design, talent transformation, use case portfolio management, and 18-36 month transformation roadmap.
About This Course
This workshop is the natural extension of the CEO/Executive AI Strategy training: a 2-day executive workshop for senior leaders who want to bring mid-to-large companies to the AI-First operating model. It comprehensively covers case analyses like Klarna's $40M cost saving + 700 customer service agent transformation; Lokomotif-style AI Maturity Workshop methodology with a 5 dimensions × 25 metrics interactive assessment; AI-First operating model design (CoE vs Federated vs Hybrid); AI-Native product and service design; talent transformation and reskilling roadmap; modern data stack and governance; AI use case portfolio management (Tier 1/2/3); cultural transformation and change management (Kotter 8-step + ADKAR); customer experience reimagined; vendor and ecosystem strategy; and 18-36 month transformation roadmap.
The workshop shows its difference from the CEO training at this point: while the CEO training focuses on 'AI strategy design + ROI measurement' fundamentals, this workshop offers a deeper, more hands-on AI-First transformation experience in workshop format. It references the Lokomotif AI Maturity Workshop model and runs together live self-assessment, operating model design workshop, charter draft, and board pitch preparation processes for participants' own companies.
The workshop consists of 2 days, 12 modules, and over 50 executive workshop lessons. The capstone produces an AI-First Transformation Charter + 18-36 month roadmap + board investment pitch (15 slides).
