AI Potentials Workshop

The uncomfortable AI workshop

AI in business doesn't mean “introducing a tool.” It means dismantling processes that have been running for years. Ask questions that no one wants to ask. Understand why three departments are driving different projects with the same data. This challenging workshop is not a slide show. It's a day of intensive work where you understand where AI can really make a difference for you and where it can't.

Overview of your processes

Realistic use cases

Clear team alignment

Specific roadmap

Why this workshop is different.
And why he will challenge you and you.

AI is not a feature, not a magic bullet that you spread across your processes. Rather, AI is the contrast agent that makes visible what is necessary in the company, in departments and teams. Where can we be more efficient? Where are we wasting time? Where is collaboration still not working optimally?

These questions are challenging and therefore valuable. Because they force you not to maintain the status quo, but to rethink your company. This AI Potentials workshop is for you if you:

  • Wants to make and implement decisions
  • has a lot of data, but no one who assumes responsibility for its use
  • See resistance as a signal and opportunity to further develop your company with AI

Working with Sven and taod.ai was a great experience. Your support in training and developing our middle to senior management in the area of AI, both in the basics and practical applications for our business, was invaluable. The feedback was consistently positive, as Sven made the topic accessible and overcame 'AI fatigue' at all levels of the organization.

Process and agenda

Recognize potentials that you also implement.

We create a common understanding. Not in theory, but with a view to your reality. We clear up myths. And we make it clear: AI can solve a lot. But first, we need to understand what the problem actually is.

Together, we will reveal how your processes are running today. Where is it really stuck? Together, you gain experience, separate facts from assumptions and create a common understanding of the status quo.

Only then do you look at specific AI ideas: Where do they fit? What dependencies and hurdles are there? What remains open? In the end, you have use cases in your hands that suit your company.

Morning: Phase 1 — Awareness

That's what it's about:

  • AI landscape 2025/2026
    Where are we today, where tomorrow & what do good managers need to know now?
  • Governance & security
    What does the EU AI Act mean? Where are red lines? What does GDPR mean specifically for AI projects?
  • Data readiness
    The important truth, because without clean, accessible data, it gets difficult.

Midday: Phase 2 — Envisioning

That's what it's about:

  • Identify strategic AI potentials
    In which areas are things not running optimally? Where do people spend a lot of time doing tasks that could be automated?
  • Opportunity Mapping
    Where are the biggest levers in production, marketing, finance, HR and customer service?

Afternoon: Phase 3 — Hands On

That's what it's about:

  • AI Process Mapping
    What are status quo and pain points? What are suitable AI solutions for this and what resources are required for this?
  • Use Case Canvas
    Evaluation of each use case in terms of effort, benefits, data availability and outcome.
  • roadmap
    How do we implement prioritized use cases? What is needed for this and what comes next?
Briefly explained: FAQ about the AI Potentials Workshop

Who is this workshop suitable for?

The workshop is aimed at managers and decision makers who want to evaluate AI potential in their company. You don't need any previous technical knowledge, but insight into your processes and the willingness to critically question them. Ideal for teams from different areas who want to work together on specific use cases.

What makes this workshop different from other AI workshops?

We do not deliver theoretical lectures on AI prophecies, but work directly on your real processes. The focus is on understanding the actual problem first before talking about technological solutions. In the end, you have implementable use cases with clear next steps, not just ideas on flip charts.

How long does the workshop last and how is it structured?

The workshop consists of three phases: Awareness (building joint process understanding), Envisioning (identifying and developing use cases) and Hands On (defining a roadmap and concrete next steps). The exact duration depends on your requirements, but is conceptually set to be one day.

Do we already need concrete AI ideas to participate?

No, quite the opposite. The workshop will help you first understand where AI actually makes sense. Vague ideas or even skepticism are the perfect starting point. It is only important that you know your processes in principle and are prepared to discuss them transparently.
