Explore what AI can do — together
CVM’s workshops help teams understand what’s possible with AI and analytics — and start imagining how it could create value in their own work. Through hands-on examples, real-world case studies, and guided exploration, we help you turn curiosity into ideas, and ideas into next steps.
Why Workshops?
AI is evolving fast — and it can be hard to keep up, let alone figure out how it applies to your organization. CVM’s workshops create space for your team to explore what’s possible, get hands-on with real examples, and imagine how AI could drive impact in your specific context.
Our workshops are designed to:
- Demystify AI – Cut through buzzwords and build a clear, shared understanding of what modern AI can actually do
- Generate ideas – Identify real, relevant use cases for AI and analytics across your organization
- Get people excited – Use demos, case studies, and examples to spark interest and momentum
- Connect teams – Bring business, product, and technical voices into the same room
- Lay the groundwork for action – Leave with a short list of promising ideas and a clearer sense of what to do next
Types of Workshops
We tailor every workshop to your goals, audience, and level of AI maturity — but here are some common formats we run:
- AI & Analytics Discovery – A high-level introduction to modern AI and data capabilities, with facilitated discussions about where they might apply in your organization
- LLM Use Case Brainstorm – Focused on large language models (like GPT), this session explores use cases for chatbots, copilots, summarization tools, and internal agents
- AI Readiness Assessment – Combines education with a structured evaluation of your technical, cultural, and organizational readiness for AI adoption
- Opportunity Mapping – Helps cross-functional teams surface, refine, and prioritize ideas for applying AI and analytics to real business problems
- Demo + Discussion – Centered around a live demo (built by CVM or your team), this session brings people together to discuss feasibility, value, and next steps
Not sure what kind of workshop makes sense? We’ll help you design the right one — based on where you are and where you want to go.
What Happens in a Workshop
Each workshop is a structured, facilitated session — typically 2 to 6 hours — designed to spark ideas, build understanding, and align your team. Sessions can be run in-person or virtually, and are customized to your goals and audience.
While formats vary, most workshops include:
- Pre-work and agenda planning – We align with you ahead of time to clarify goals, participants, and any materials or demos to include
- Intro & framing – A short, plain-language overview of relevant concepts, technologies, or trends (no jargon, no hype)
- Interactive exercises – Collaborative activities to explore use cases, evaluate opportunities, or assess readiness
- Real-world examples – Case studies and demos to inspire thinking and ground the conversation in what’s actually possible
- Group discussion & synthesis – Facilitated conversations that surface key insights and build shared understanding
- Next steps – We close with clear takeaways and suggestions for where to go next
Whether you're exploring AI for the first time or looking to pressure-test a set of ideas, our workshops give your team the context, confidence, and clarity to move forward.
What You Get
Our workshops are designed to leave you with more than just ideas — they give your team clarity, alignment, and a practical path forward. Typical outputs include:
- A
capturing key insights, use cases, and takeaways - A prioritized list of opportunities or next steps based on group input
- Facilitation materials – worksheets, templates, or canvases used during the session
- Optional demo walkthrough if a prototype was included in the workshop
- Optional lightweight strategic guidance – a short brief with early recommendations or framing for further exploration
All materials are shared with you after the session — ready to inform internal planning, stakeholder communication, or follow-up work with CVM or others.
