AI within reach: Unleash innovation in your business
With the rapid evolution and widespread adoption of artificial intelligence (AI), businesses can no longer afford to sideline AI implementation if they want to carve out new pathways to compete, lead, and succeed long term.
Yet, many organizations find themselves uncertain of the initial steps to integrate AI. This is where our AI Ideation Workshop can help—it’s designed to equip businesses in the early stages of digitalization with the foundational knowledge required to identify areas that can be enhanced through AI.
A tailored workshop that equips leaders for AI success
Our single-day or two-day AI Ideation Workshop gets you up to speed quickly. This fully customized and hands-on workshop simplifies complex concepts and teaches you how to identify potential applications of AI within your operations, aligned to your specific business goals and objectives.
You’ll gain a clear understanding of AI’s transformative power, practical strategies for integration, and the confidence to lead your business towards a more innovative future.
These are in-person workshops, but we can provide a virtual option based on client needs.
Here’s a snapshot of what you’ll learn.
AI is rooted in machine learning (ML). You will learn foundational ML concepts, including deep learning, large language models, and traditional ML algorithms. Our workshop teaches you how to go from concept to production using strategies like exploratory data analysis, feature engineering, and model evaluation and tuning.
In the end, course participants formulate a clear roadmap for integrating ML and AI within their organizational framework.
Optimization is an analytical method of mathematical problem-solving and decision-making often used to manage and optimize problems in business operations.
We explore optimization techniques for improving decision-making processes, including the fundamental components of optimization solutions. We’ll also cover linear programming (LP), the most widely used optimization technique, as well as more complex models like mixed integer linear programming (MILP) and many more.
From basic foundations to strategic roadmaps
Led by experienced BDO professionals in the fields of AI and analytics, our workshop is designed for business leaders and executives who want to position their firms at the forefront of innovation and unlock new avenues of productivity.
The workshop program is made up of three components:
Workshop breakdown: What can you expect?
Day one of our program unpacks the transformative potential of AI and optimization from a business standpoint. We break down complex concepts to help you envision practical applications and use cases. It lays the groundwork for you to uncover opportunities where AI and optimization could be instrumental within your business processes.
This initial phase is all about ideation—by the end of the day, you will have crafted a strategic list of actionable use cases, setting a focused agenda for the following day’s activities.
On the second day, we go into a deeper exploration of the AI and optimization life cycle and the fundamental components involved in operationalizing such solutions from a business perspective.
Building on the groundwork laid on day one, this day focuses on identifying which ideas or use cases are feasible.
The end goal is to create a canvas detailing each use case’s value, associated risks, and viability. The BDO team then leverages this canvas to help develop a custom roadmap to guide you beyond the workshop towards tangible success.
For business leaders who can’t commit to a two-day workshop, we offer a single-day condensed course that removes the deep dive into the different technologies. This offering focuses on high-level fundamentals and use case generation and is best suited for those who can evaluate use cases without the need for a canvas workshop.
