Enterprise AI Workshop
Most teams are using AI. Few have designed how they use it.
This workshop helps design leaders and cross-functional teams move beyond experimentation and into a deliberate, systems-level approach to AI integration, one that creates lasting operational value rather than scattered individual habits.
Your Facilitator
Todd R. Lewis
Design Leader & Systems Thinker
Todd has spent over 15 years working at the intersection of design, systems, and organizational complexity. He has led design for enterprise organizations, including Fortune 500 clients, built and scaled design systems from the ground up, and spent the past several years mentoring designers across career stages and industries.
His approach to AI is not rooted in enthusiasm for the technology itself, but in a rigorous examination of how organizations actually work, and where AI fits within that reality. He brings the same frameworks he uses to evaluate design systems and team structure to the question of AI adoption: clarity over novelty, systems over shortcuts, and outcomes over activity.
The Challenge
AI tools are widely available and improving rapidly. The harder problem, the one most teams aren't solving, is knowing how to integrate them into the organization in a way that scales, holds up under scrutiny, and doesn't quietly introduce new risk.
The Real Gap
The challenge isn't capability. It's the absence of a deliberate organizational strategy for how AI fits into how you work.
The Workshop
This is a structured, facilitated session for teams who want a clear-eyed, practical approach to AI. No vendor advocacy. No feature demonstrations. No prompting tricks.
The focus is on building a shared mental model, mapping how AI fits your actual workflows, and establishing the criteria your team will use to evaluate and integrate AI tools going forward. Participants leave with something concrete, not just inspiration.

Learning Objectives
The workshop is designed to shift thinking, not just introduce techniques. Participants will come away with new frameworks, shared language, and the practical groundwork to apply what they've learned immediately.
How to evaluate AI tools against actual workflow needs, not marketing claims or peer pressure.
Where AI creates genuine leverage versus where it introduces hidden cost or dependencies.
How to map AI touchpoints to existing team processes, handoffs, and decision points.
The distinction between automation, augmentation, and replacement, and when each is the right call.
How to establish team-level standards for AI use that hold up beyond individual preference.
How to design prompts as a repeatable, systems-level skill, not a one-off trick.
What "good AI integration" looks like in an enterprise context, and how to recognize its absence.
How to build a lightweight adoption framework your team can use, maintain, and evolve over time.
Workshop Structure
The workshop is structured in four modules, each with a distinct purpose. Sessions can run the full sequence (3–4 hours) or be configured as focused half-day engagements (2 hours) depending on your team's needs and available time.
Establish shared vocabulary. Examine the current AI landscape without the noise. Understand where enterprise organizations are finding traction, and where they're struggling, so your team can enter the conversation with clear eyes.
Identify the actual shape of your work. Map existing processes, handoffs, and decision points. Surface the places where AI could create real leverage, and the places where premature adoption could cause harm or introduce technical and organizational debt.
Work through real integration scenarios using your team's actual workflows as the substrate. Practice prompt design as a systems skill. Define the criteria you'll use to evaluate new AI tools, grounded in your organization's context, not someone else's.
Draft a lightweight adoption framework your team can put into practice immediately. Define what "good" looks like in your organization. Leave with clarity, shared alignment, and a concrete starting point, not a list of tools to evaluate later.
Outcomes
The value of this workshop is not measured by how energized people feel at the end. It's measured by what they're able to do differently the following week.
The Goal
Teams don't leave this workshop inspired to explore AI. They leave with a clear starting point for integrating it deliberately.
Who This Is For
The workshop is most effective for teams at an inflection point, organizations that have started using AI but recognize they need more structure, or those preparing to make a deliberate investment in how AI fits into their work.
This workshop is available for on-site and remote delivery. Sessions are tailored to your team's context, current size, and maturity with AI. The first step is a conversation.
