Our approach: from inspiration to implementation

Start AI Inspire (one-day workshop)

In just one intensive day, you’ll get a hands-on introduction to what AI can mean for your KMO. We kick off with an inspiring session full of real-world examples that showcase how AI is transforming industries. In the afternoon, we dive into your business processes with an interactive brainstorm or mini-hackathon. This compact program is perfect for businesses looking for a powerful first impression of AI and its opportunities.

Start AI (3 to 4 weeks)

For those who want to move beyond the basics, Start AI is the perfect opportunity to achieve real results. We begin with an in-depth intake session to understand your strategy, core processes, and ambitions. Next, we analyze your data and technical capabilities to pinpoint exactly where AI can create value. Through interactive workshops, we develop concrete use cases with clear ROI estimates. Your team receives practical AI training, learning how to apply AI to accelerate their work. Finally, we provide you with a step-by-step roadmap for implementing AI in your organization.

Start AI+ (4 to 6 weeks)

Looking to go all-in on AI and build a solid foundation right away? Start AI+ is the way to go. This program includes everything from Start AI but goes even further. We tackle key topics such as ethics, risk management, and advanced data analysis, while also addressing the policy and governance aspects of AI. Additionally, you’ll work alongside our experts to develop three to five AI use cases, each carefully mapped out for practical implementation.
