Question 1

Who should attend?

1–3 senior decision-makers, typically CEO, CTO, and COO.

Question 2

Is this relevant for early-stage startups?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we have worked with Pre-Seed to Series D and enterprise companies.

Question 3

What if we already have AI projects underway?

Accepted Answer

We discuss how those projects map to your goals and fit into a broader AI roadmap.

Question 4

What do I need to prepare?

Accepted Answer

Come ready to talk openly about your business goals and what initiatives you have underway.

Question 5

Is this confidential?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we take client confidentiality seriously and are happy to sign an NDA.

Question 6

Duration: How long is the workshop?

Accepted Answer

The most popular timing is 2 hours. We've done it in 1 hour and 3 hours for various groups. We make the length of the exercises fit the goals of the company and organizers. Our ideal time slot is right before a coffee or lunch break.

Question 7

Culture: Will people worry about layoffs?

Accepted Answer

It's our goal to build productivity in amazing team members. We believe that supporting people in education yields the best results to keep companies profitable and leveraging their best talent effectively. We aren't into layoffs. We're into education.

Question 8

Customization: Is this AI training custom for us?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Delivered across product management, life sciences, transportation, and corporate teams. Case studies, exercises, and tool selection are scoped to your function and industry, confirmed during our intro call.

Question 9

Tools: Which tools will you teach?

Accepted Answer

We collaborate with you on the AI tools and customizations to make this directly helpful to your company, team, and audience. We recommend multiple tools with free trials. If you don't know which ones you want, we recommend starting with Claude, Perplexity, Fathom, and Canva Magic Suite.

Question 10

Requirements: What do participants need?

Accepted Answer

A laptop or computer with internet access. No technical background or coding skills required. All tools used in the training have a free version or free trial.

Question 11

Group Size: How many participants can attend?

Accepted Answer

We recommend 10–60 participants in each live training. Groups over 100 require format adjustments for the discussion and collaborative sessions.

Question 12

Events: Do you offer the workshop for companies and conferences?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we have done this workshop at events and at company-internal events. We're flexible and would love to hear about your audience and goals.

Question 13

Format: Is this virtual, hybrid, or in person?

Accepted Answer

Virtual. In-person. At events. Hybrid. We've done it all with high marks for participant engagement every time.

Question 14

Languages: Do you speak languages other than English?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Joan is fluent in French and conversational in Italian and Spanish. Let us know if your audience is more comfortable in a different language.

Question 15

Tailored to Us: Is this just another generic AI overview?

Accepted Answer

No. Every engagement is built entirely from your company's context: your structure, your regulatory environment, your goals. You leave with a roadmap your team can execute within 90 days, not a deck full of buzzwords.

Question 16

Internal Tools: What if we're already using AI tools internally?

Accepted Answer

Great, that's a strength. The 10-Step Framework maps what you're already doing well and identifies the gaps. Most teams are further along than they think in some areas, and have blind spots in others. We surface both.

Question 17

C-Suite: How is this different from hiring a Chief AI Officer or CDO?

Accepted Answer

A senior AI hire costs $200k–$300k+ annually and takes 6+ months to onboard. This engagement gives your team strategic clarity and an executable plan in weeks, so when you do hire, you know exactly what role you need and what they should focus on.

Question 18

Regulation: We're in a regulated industry. Can AI even work for us?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely, but it requires the right guardrails. The governance framework we deliver is designed for regulated environments, incorporating NIST AI Risk Management and regulatory-aware documentation standards. Fear shouldn't be in the driver's seat; informed strategy should.

Question 19

Post-Workshop: What happens after the workshop?

Accepted Answer

You receive full deliverables within 20 business days, followed by a 60-minute debrief to refine recommendations. From there, we offer continued advisory, advanced training, and project scoping as add-ons.

Question 20

Pricing: How much does the company rollout cost?

Accepted Answer

Cost is $35k for virtual, travel costs domestically are $5k, and $7k for international on-site depending on travel length. If you have an onsite, we also recommend bundling with our bestselling 3 AI Tools Workshop for an extra $10k.

Question 21

Duration/Location: How long is the engagement? Remote or in-person?

Accepted Answer

The core workshop is a half-day session, available both in-person and virtually. Full deliverables, including your AI Maturity Scorecard, 90-Day Roadmap, and Governance Framework, are delivered within 20 business days. End to end, most engagements wrap in 8–10 weeks.

Question 22

Results: What kind of results have your clients seen?

Accepted Answer

Clients have reduced operational costs by 20–40%, saved $100k/yr in operational costs, cut time-to-insight by half, and unlocked new revenue streams through AI-powered products and services. One client repositioned their entire go-to-market strategy based on the roadmap and investors had such conviction in the AI infrastructure and growth plan they believed it merited a 10x valuation increase.
