LEADERSHIP WORKSHOP
The AI Accelerator Workshop - Strategy + Roadmap in One Day
Walk out with a prioritized 12-month plan for the work you were about to hire for - and a leadership team that finally agrees on it. Your current team stays; this is about the roles you haven't posted yet.
Definition
What Is an AI Accelerator Program?
An AI accelerator program is a structured workshop or sprint that helps leadership teams rapidly assess their AI readiness, identify high-ROI use cases, and build an implementation roadmap - without months of internal deliberation. Unlike a consulting engagement, an accelerator delivers a complete AI action plan in one day or a few focused sessions.
The biggest delay in AI adoption isn't technology - it's that nobody in the room can tell which vendors are lying. Your leadership team has seen the demos and heard the hype machine; nobody can agree on the budget, the priority, or the risk. Meanwhile the default fix - posting another job req - keeps compounding payroll.
You were right not to trust the pitches. The AI Accelerator is built for that skepticism: we bring your key stakeholders together, separate what's real from what's hype for your specific firm, and leave you with a unified plan of attack.
The Goal: Immediate Action
Most companies spend 6 months debating AI. We collapse that timeline into a single, high-intensity session designed to produce a build-ready blueprint.
Who Should Book the AI Accelerator?
- ✕CEOs and COOs at professional services and contract manufacturing firms (50-500 people, $10M-$200M revenue) who need an AI plan but don't know where to start.
- ✕Leadership teams who've seen AI demos but can't agree on priorities.
- ✕Firms that have tried AI tools informally but haven't seen ROI.
- ✕Organizations where AI skepticism from senior leaders is slowing adoption.
- ✕Firms preparing to present an AI business case to their board or investors.

Formats
Three Ways to Engage
The Virtual Primer
A half-day virtual session to assess fit. Perfect for smaller leadership teams looking to align on basic AI feasibility before committing larger budgets.
- Starts at $4,500
The On-Site Accelerator
Our most popular format. We fly to your HQ for a full day of intense whiteboard mapping, gap analysis, and roadmap construction with your entire C-suite.
- Starts at $12,500
The Multi-Session Sprint
Spread across a two-week period, this format allows us to pull in department heads individually for deep-dive process mapping before the final leadership readout.
- Starts at $22,000
What Happens After the Workshop?
The Accelerator is designed to flow directly into implementation, and most clients take that path - with the Accelerator fee fully credited toward the work. From the workshop, we move into the C.O.R.E. build: audit finalized in Weeks 1-3, your first system built in Weeks 4-10, deployed by Week 14 - a working system in your business inside the first 100 days, with monthly performance reviews and expansion from there. From debating AI in every leadership meeting to a firm where systems do the process work and your people do the judgment work.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an AI accelerator program?
An AI accelerator program is a structured workshop or sprint that helps leadership teams rapidly assess their AI readiness, identify high-ROI use cases, and build an implementation roadmap - without months of internal deliberation. Unlike a consulting engagement, an accelerator delivers a complete AI action plan in one day.
How is the AI Accelerator different from a consulting engagement?
The Accelerator is a fixed-scope, fixed-price workshop that delivers your AI strategy in one day or a few sessions. A consulting engagement is typically the longer-term implementation that follows the strategy.
How is the Accelerator different from the 2-week AI strategy engagement?
The Accelerator is the fast version: one day with your leadership team to prioritize use cases and leave with a 12-month plan everyone agrees on. Our AI strategy engagement goes deeper - two weeks of audit, stakeholder interviews, and a full ROI model built on your numbers. Many firms start with the Accelerator and add the strategy engagement when they need the deeper financial case.
How much does the AI Accelerator cost?
Pricing starts at $4,500 for the Virtual Primer, $12,500 for the full On-Site Accelerator, and $22,000 for the Multi-Session Sprint. The cost is credited toward any implementation engagement you book with us.
Who should attend the workshop?
The workshop is designed for the C-suite and key department heads (Sales, Ops, Finance). We need the decision-makers in the room to ensure alignment.
Where is the On-Site Accelerator held?
We fly to your headquarters or leadership offsite location to conduct the workshop in person. We provide all materials and facilitation.
What do we need to prepare before the workshop?
Minimal preparation is required. We will send a brief intake questionnaire to understand your current tech stack and primary business goals, but we do the heavy lifting during the session.
Can we start implementation immediately after?
Yes. The outcome of the workshop is a build-ready roadmap. You can engage our implementation team the very next day if you wish.
Is the Accelerator right for a company that has never used AI?
Yes, absolutely. It's the best place to start. We demystify the technology and focus purely on practical, operational efficiency rather than complex theory.
Book Your AI Accelerator
The default path is a hiring plan: ten process hires run $850K-$1.2M a year, every year, at a loaded cost of roughly $85K-$120K per hire - a stated assumption, not a firm's billed result. One day in a room is how you check that math before you sign it. Choose your format on a 30-minute strategy call.
