AI is creating a lot of 'noise' at a very tactical level.  Senior teams need to press pause and be intentional about their AI strategy.  

At Bluestone we believe that executive teams need to be deliberate about AI strategy.  We have designed half day and full facilitator led strategy discussion that unpacks the current state of AI, the potential it holds.  This is only half the issue.  Organizations must first understand what is possible with a realistic lens and timeframe.  Given those potential capabilities, they must determine how, if at all, they impact, improve or change their current business.  

Then and only then, can organizations plan the first steps on an intentional journey towards AI integration.

We offer 1/2, full day and 2 day facilitated off-site sessions.  Each with the same goal, give your team the space to consider where AI is now, how it might impact your business and to map out a strategy on how to move in the direction you choose.

The first step in the process is to disconnect, elevate and cover what's true right now, what is the direction of travel and what might be possible within our planning horizon.   So much of the noise surrounding AI is a blend of functional tools and edge case AI which is not operationalized yet.  

We help your team filter through which capabilities will connect to which parts of your strategy.

Roadmap 

When considering connecting AI to strategy it is important to think beyond 1st order impacts and elevate thinking to include 2nd, 3rd and even 4th order impacts.  This is a critical step in strategic capability consideration.   

To accomplish this, we run the team through a thought exercise debrief and transitioning overlay to connect the impact to strategy. 

Once the potential capability landscape has been established and the multi-order impacts have been consider the team is guided through  the capability shift process.  This is where the team begins to focus in on future opportunities and required capabilities. 

Depending on the length of the engagement the team will do anything from a mid-level overview to a comprehensive detailed framework.    

The destination on this journey is the creation of a roadmap.  A plan that allows the team to see through the distractions that the onslaught of AI features, news and hype create on a daily basis.  This roadmap factors in all aspect of the organizations strategy and connects AI capabilities to them.  

Teams will have the ability to consider each new technology and answer the question 'does this get us closer to our end goal'?  Less wasted time and resources.  Fewer distractions that pull focus away from the core mission.  Better outcomes. 

In this session we cover:
