The context

Leadership wanted its members to speak the same language about AI and to be able to assess the projects brought to them. One in-person day, for 25 executives and managers, with no technical prerequisites.

The format

Three sessions, each followed by a hands-on workshop.

  1. Understand, compare, choose. Each participant identifies a use case in their area and picks the right model.
  2. Produce with AI. Each participant structures a prompt on a real deliverable and tests it.
  3. Risks, governance and steering. Each participant fills in an initiative sheet ready for decision.

The materials are interactive: live polls from phones, quizzes, several models compared side by side. Each participant leaves with a personal workbook, built from their own contributions during the day.

The results

  • 25 participants, in an extended session.
  • 12 AI initiatives scoped: use case, data, risks and indicators.
  • 15 anonymization exercises and 15 maturity self-assessments.
  • An analytical summary handed to leadership.

What the summary showed

  • Nearly half of the initiatives involved confidential data, which led to exploring sovereign hosting options.
  • The most cited risk was loss of rigor, ahead of data leakage: a sign of a mature perception.
  • A comparable share of initiatives considered an internally hosted model.

Well-designed training also produces a diagnostic: leadership leaves with a clear picture of its teams’ maturity and priorities.

Let’s organize a day like this with your executive committee.
