Workshop Spotlight

Unrealistic by Design

The AI Strategy Kickstart Workshop for IT Leaders

Cut through the AI noise – and start thinking bigger.
This facilitated workshop helps IT leaders take bold steps toward ideas that once felt just out of reach.

 Who This Is For

Designed for Ambitious Technology Leaders

This strategic sprint is for:

CIOs, Heads of IT, and Transformation Leaders

Mid to large sized organisations navigating AI uncertainty

Leaders who want to move past hesitation and make progress

Stuck in the AI Hype Cycle?

AI promises big things, but most teams are spinning in circles.
Leaders hesitate. Teams experiment without impact.
And strategy takes a back seat.

This sprint breaks that cycle by giving you the clarity, direction, and confidence to lead with purpose.

What You’ll Gain

Walk Away With a Real AI Plan

AI opens the door to what used to be unrealistic. This sprint helps you lead with ambition and start building what others still think is impossible.

Thinking big starts here.

  • Alignment on your AI vision and strategic fit
  • Frameworks to prioritise the most impactful use cases
  • A repeatable approach to validate tools and test ideas
  • Greater leadership confidence and buy-in
  • First steps that reduce risk and build momentum

Our Approach

From Unrealistic to Actionable

A Strategic Framework That Delivers

We help leaders turn bold ideas into executable actions – even with tight resources and early-stage understanding.

The Three T’s of AI Adoption

  • Tools – Choosing the right platforms and experimenting safely.
  • Training – Building prompting, digital literacy, and creative skills.
  • Tone – Sending leadership signals that create curiosity and confidence.

The AI Leverage Model

  • Integrate – Embed AI into workflows and platforms.
  • Create – Innovate solutions unique to your organisation.

Format & Delivery

We guide you using proven frameworks, but every session is shaped to meet the unique needs of your organisation and team.
