Executive committee AI thesis
One day. The executive committee leaves with the company-wide AI thesis written down, agreed, and defensible to the board.
Corporate AI workshops · Executive committees & boards
Corporate AI workshops that decide, not workshops that teach.
Best fit when the leadership team needs to leave with one defensible path, not three options dressed as choice. Workshops are scoped to a specific AI decision the company is currently making — vendor commitment, transformation thesis, governance posture, capital allocation — and end with the decision made, not deferred.
When to book
Workshop formats designed to settle a decision.
Each workshop is scoped to one open decision the leadership team is actively making. The deliverable is the call — not a training certificate.
Board AI session
Half-day. Independent director-format briefing on the AI exposure, governance posture, and competitive positioning the board needs to defend.
Vendor selection workshop
One day. Independent vendor challenge across the platforms shortlisted, with the recommendation made in the room.
Transformation kick-off
Two days. The first 90 days of an AI transformation program scoped, sequenced, and KPI-bound before the budget is committed.
Governance actually try to break
One day. The governance posture as it actually exists, stress-tested against regulator, acquirer, and board scrutiny scenarios.
AEO/GEO competitive review
Half-day. Where the brand currently stands in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and AI Overviews. What closes the gap. What it costs.
How it works
What makes this decision-format, not training-format.
Pre-work: decision brief
Before the workshop, the host names the decision the leadership team needs to make. The workshop is scoped backwards from that.
In-room: argue against
Assumptions surfaced live, risks named, P&L quantified. Paul brings the operator perspective from Elogic and Uvik. The team brings the company-specific context.
End-of-session: the call
One defensible recommendation, made before the room clears. Not three options for the team to debate next week.
Post-session: written record
10–25 page decision memo issued within five business days. Assumptions, risks, P&L, the call. Defensible to the board.

Frequently asked
Common questions about this engagement.
How is this different from a typical corporate AI training?
Training transfers knowledge. A decision-format workshop produces a decision. The deliverable is one single signed recommendation made in the conversation, with assumptions named, risks surfaced, and P&L quantified — not a curriculum or a certificate. Companies hire training when they need understanding; they hire Paul when they need the call.
Who attends?
The executive committee, the board, or the leadership team that owns the decision being made. Workshops are scoped for 6–15 senior people; not larger. The room has to be small enough that the call can actually be made before it clears.
How long is a workshop?
Most engagements run half-day to two days, scoped backwards from the decision being made. A vendor stress-test is typically one day. A board AI session is typically half-day. A transformation kick-off is two days.
On-site or remote?
Both. On-site workshops run from Paul's Prague base or at the company's location worldwide — US, UK, EU, Middle East. Remote workshops use the same format with synchronous video sessions and the same post-session decision memo.
What does the post-session deliverable look like?
A 10–25 page decision memo issued within five business days. The assumptions surfaced, the risks named, the P&L quantified, the recommendation made. Defensible to the board, the regulator, or the acquirer. Validated under The Proof Standard™.
