What should a practical AI discovery workshop produce?
What an AI discovery workshop should deliver
A useful workshop leaves the organisation with a shared problem definition, prioritised opportunities, practical constraints, and an agreed next decision.
A shared view of the workflow
The group should leave with a common picture of how work currently moves, where information is lost or delayed, where people repeat effort, and where decisions slow down.
A prioritised opportunity set
Not every AI idea deserves equal investment. Prioritisation should make the value, evidence, feasibility, dependency, risk, and owner of each candidate opportunity visible.
A decision-ready next step
The next step may be a proof of concept, a data-readiness activity, a workflow redesign, or a decision not to automate yet. Clarity on that decision is more valuable than a long list of untested ideas.
