Two-Wave Approach

Scaling AI Inside Large Enterprises

This structured approach ensures that enterprises develop a strong internal AI capability and adoption at every level.

Optionally, our Two-Wave Approach can include the following:

  • Hands-On Intro To AI

  • AI Design Sprint™: GenAI Tools In Use

First Wave

  • Training and certification of 50 people as a core AI team (across six 4-half-day trainings).

  • Training and certification of 100 people as AI champions (across twelve 2-day trainings).

  • The generated AI use cases and the employee engagement with the core team and AI champions set the stage for further expansion.

Second Wave

  • Training and certification of another 150 employees (core AI team & AI champions).

  • Scaling of the AI use cases throughout the organization.

 FAQs

    • Direct reach is 300 employees in wave two.

    • Indirect reach through the new AI use cases and the interaction of the rest of the organization with our 300 people.

  • If you have further questions, give Michael a shout.

We are thrilled and interested in the Two-Wave Approach of scaling AI in our organization. Let’s talk about the details.
