Leaders · 1 day

Decide which AI ideas to fund, and how far to trust each

Leaders place their own AI ideas on The Delegation Ladder, test the top one hands-on, and leave with a prioritised list and a Decision Brief.

AI Decisions for Leaders
Who it is forAnyone who decides what gets automated, from board to senior manager
Format1 day
Who designs and delivers our programs
Why it exists

Most AI ideas stall on one question: who carries the risk if it fails

Leaders are asked to approve systems whose failure rates and consequences nobody has stated. The day makes both explicit, so a yes or a no can be defended.

What participants will be able to do
01
Place any AI idea on The Delegation Ladder, and name what must exist first
02
Work out how often a system can fail, and whether a mistake can be undone
03
Test the top idea hands-on with a working agent
04
Write a Decision Brief with an owner, the strongest objection and a next step
OutputThe organisation’s AI idea list, prioritised, and a Decision Brief on the top idea.
