Get Your Leadership Team AI-Ready in Half a Day
A hands-on workshop that gives your executive team the foundational knowledge, practical experience, and confidence to start using AI effectively in their own roles — immediately.
Led by Stellis AI's expert practitioners
Why Your Leadership Team Needs This Workshop
Most executives know AI matters. But few have the hands-on experience needed to make confident decisions about AI, its capabilities, and how it will impact their business.
The AI 101 for Business Leaders workshop gives your leadership team the shared knowledge and practical experience they need to move from AI confusion to AI clarity — in just half a day.
The Problem
Without hands-on experience, leadership teams struggle to:
- •Understand what AI can (and can't) do for their business
- •Understand where AI can realistically create value
- •Make informed decisions about AI capabilities, risks, and tradeoffs
- •Lead their organizations through AI adoption with confidence
The Solution
This workshop delivers:
- Executive-level foundational AI knowledge from a former Amazon innovation leader
- 2-hour hands-on lab so leaders experience AI firsthand (not just theory)
- An introduction to the AI SPRINT framework as a mental model for AI adoption
- Practical methods leaders can use in their roles immediately
What Happens in the Workshop
This half-day workshop combines executive-level AI education with hands-on practice — so your leaders don't just learn about AI, they actually use it.
Part 1: AI Foundations
60 minutes
What's Covered:
- •What generative AI actually is (and what it isn't)
- •How AI is transforming business operations and competitive advantage
- •Real-world use cases across industries and functions
- •Common myths and misconceptions about AI

Why It Matters:

- •Learn business-leader-focused prompting methods
- •Work through executive use cases: market analysis, strategic planning, communication drafting, problem-solving
- •Experiment with AI as a thought partner and productivity tool
Why It Matters:
Executives who've actually used AI make better decisions about AI strategy. This lab gives leaders direct experience they can immediately apply to their roles.
Part 3: AI SPRINT Framework & Adoption Best Practices
60 minutes
What's Covered:
- •Introduction to the 6-step AI SPRINT transformation framework
- •Common patterns of successful AI adoption in organizations
