How to run an AI workshop at your offsite, and keep it human
Every company is figuring out AI. The offsite is the best room to decide how, together, and what stays human.
AI workshops at offsites tend to go one of two ways. A vendor demo that everyone forgets by dinner, or a real conversation that changes how the team works on Monday. The difference is design.
Start with the work, not the tools
Ask every team to bring one task that eats their week. That list becomes the agenda. The question is never “what can AI do?” It is “what should we stop doing by hand, and what must stay ours?”
