The AI Value Discovery Day: Activating Applied AI Value Across the Organisation
The AI Value Discovery Day is the moment an organisation moves from understanding AI to creating value with AI. It is a full-day, immersive, hands-on workshop where employees design meaningful AI workflows, uncover cross-functional opportunities, and begin laying the foundation for an organisation-wide pipeline of executable AI projects.
Within the Seven Stages of Organisational AI Transformation, this day activates:
-
Stage 4: Applied AI Value. This stage focuses on turning AI literacy into tangible outputs while simultaneously laying the groundwork for Stage 5: Collaborative Experimentation within the Seven Stages of AI Transformation framework.
This workshop empowers individuals to build something real whether an automated workflow, enhanced decision-making process, or efficiency boost to improve their work immediately. It also facilitates structured collaboration across teams to identify high-impact opportunities that map directly onto organisational objectives.
The AI Value Discovery Day is designed for the broadest possible participation. The more employees who attend, the richer and more strategically aligned the pipeline of opportunities becomes.
What it Delivers
Individual AI projects that create real value
A Cross-Team Catalogue of High-Impact Opportunities
Practical Understanding of Tools, Models and Applications
Organisation-Wide Alignment on What Matters Most
Readiness for the Build Phase (Stage 5)
Key Outcomes
A Meaningful AI Workflow Built by Every Participant
Individuals leave with at least one workflow that improves efficiency, quality or speed in their daily work proving immediate value and increasing confidence.
A Prioritised Catalogue of Practical, Achievable AI Projects
The organisation gains a clear list of opportunities validated, aligned, and ready for the build phase.
Cross-Team Alignment Around AI’s Most Valuable Uses
Teams understand where AI will deliver the highest impact and what to focus on next, eliminating scattergun experimentation.
A Strong Foundation for Prototyping and Building
(Stage 5)
All the prerequisites for successful experimentation clarity on owners, opportunities, tools and data are in place.
Increased Organisational Confidence and Creative Momentum
The session builds belief, energy and a sense of shared progress critical psychological preconditions for successful AI transformation.
Why AI Value Discovery Day Works
AI Value Discovery Day succeeds because it bridges the largest capability gap in AI transformation: the leap from knowing about AI to creating meaningful value with AI.
It is the first organisational moment where capability, creativity, and real business needs intersect and it elevates the organisation into Stage 4 of the Seven Stages framework.
Here's why the model is so effective:
Applied Creation Unlocks Capability
Participants build workflows that genuinely help them, consolidating literacy into competence and strengthening long-term retention.
Collaborative Intelligence Drives Better Ideas
By bringing teams together, the session surfaces high-impact opportunities that individuals would struggle to identify alone.
Structured Processes Avoid “AI Chaos”
The facilitated method ensures the organisation avoids random experimentation and instead focuses on validated, aligned opportunities with clear value potential.
It Produces the Exact Inputs Needed for Stage 5
Hackathon Day (Stage 5) cannot succeed without the preparation and pipeline created in this stage. Value Discovery Day eliminates guesswork and ensures build teams arrive ready.
It Builds Creative Confidence and Internal Champions
Participants discover how quickly they can create meaningful AI-driven improvements building motivation and generating internal advocates who amplify momentum.
