The human skills you need to lead in the age of AI
AI can write the email.
It can’t decide what question you should be asking in the first place.
This 3-session, hands-on virtual workshop builds the innovation skills that matter more in the age of AI: questioning, curiosity, creativity, and experimentation. It also shows you how to use AI to amplify and accelerate them.
Built for people working in large organizations (especially traditional or regulated industries) who want to innovate more in their day job.
What you'll be able to do
- Ask sharper questions that uncover what’s actually going on (and what’s missing)
- Turn messy inputs into clear insight that teams can act on
- Generate creative ideas and become unstuck
- Prototype and test faster, so learning beats debating
You’ll also learn how to use AI to speed up each step to become a Vibe-Builder: figuring out what customers actually need, generating better ideas, and turning one into something you can test. Fast.
All participants get templates and practical materials to reuse immediately with your team.
Agenda at a glance
Session 1 April 10 (11am-1pm): Better Questions
Most teams don’t have an idea problem. They have a question problem.
- How innovators frame problems
- Tools for curiosity, assumptions, and sharper framing
Using AI to stress-test your framing and strengthen your questions
Outcome: a clearer problem frame and a better set of questions to drive the work
Session 2 April 17 (11am-1pm): Better Insight + Better Ideas
Ideas are plentiful. Novel ideas that meet real customer needs are rare.
- Jobs to be Done: what people are really trying to achieve
- Practical brainstorming approaches based on the latest neuroscience
Using AI to synthesize themes and expand solution paths
Outcome: sharper insights and a stronger set of solution directions
Session 3 April 24 (11am-1pm): Better Iteration
Innovation isn’t just about ideas. It’s about learning how to make them work.
- Breaking down the assumptions behind any idea
- Designing experiments that reduce risk and increase learning
Using AI to pressure-test assumptions and prototype
Outcome: Practical experiments to make ideas a reality
Optional Pre-Session April 7 (12pm-1pm ET): AI Crash Course (1 hour)
A friendly, no-jargon primer to get everyone on the same page:
- Key AI terms and evolution (in plain English)
- The big “do’s and don’ts” of prompting
- What AI is good at, bad at, and often confidently wrong about
Perfect if you want the fundamentals before we jump into innovation mindsets.
Who is this workshop for
- Everyday employees expected to improve things.
- Professionals in traditional companies who are looking to increase the innovative capabilities of their teams, departments, and organizations.
- Learning & Development or Human Resources team members who want to develop the skills and confidence they need to teach core innovation skills in their organizations.
- Innovation practitioners and managers who are passionate about improving their skills and bringing more innovation into their organization.
No technical background required. If you can ask a question, you can do this.
What makes this workshop different
- Not a tool demo. Tools change. Skills scale.
- Not “prompt training.” We focus on thinking, framing, and iteration, with AI as the accelerant.
- Built for large organizations. How to innovate in large companies is very different than launching a startup.
- Designed for real outcomes. Clearer problem framing, stronger options, faster learning.
