Use Case Labs
From "we should do something with AI" to a ranked backlog and a first working prototype, in weeks not quarters.
Strategy at the top, paralysis at the middle. Most organisations have a list of AI ideas trapped in PowerPoint and no mechanism to ship the first one. The Lab format breaks the deadlock by combining facilitation, prioritisation, and prototyping in a single structured engagement.
Structured workshops with Opportunity Canvases, cross-functional clustering, and explicit prioritisation criteria. We move 18 ideas to 8 themes to 3 candidates in two days.
The top-ranked use case becomes a working prototype within the engagement. Real tooling, real data (sanitised), real users testing it.
The remaining backlog is documented with owners, scoping notes, and KPIs, so the organisation can extend the work without us.
Compact Lab
1-day workshop plus 1 working prototype.
Standard Lab
2-day workshop, prioritised backlog, 1 prototype, governance handoff.
Lab Series
Four labs over a quarter, building cumulative momentum.
- A ranked, owner-mapped use case backlog
- One working prototype, deployable
- Documentation for extending the method internally
- Photos, recordings, and a written readout for executive sign-off
Operating executives (COO, MD, BU Head) who need a P&L story this year and want a method, not a vendor.
Selected work: labs with a supply-chain services group and a compliance consultancy
