An AI Workshop for a Newly Formed AI Council
AACSB already formed a cross-functional AI Council. I ran the workshop that gave that group its shared foundation and a standing resource the entire organization can use.

Challenge
AACSB had recently formed a cross-functional AI Council on their own initiative, but the group had no shared foundation yet — no common vocabulary, no current-state assessment, no agreed starting point for the decisions it existed to make.
Approach
AACSB had recently formed the Council on their own and brought me in to run its workshop — covering AI overview and ethical use, vision-setting, current-state assessment, opportunity identification, and roadmap building. I also produced a separately recorded “Ethics” module, licensed for continued use in AACSB's learning management system — a standing resource for the Council's ongoing use, not just a one-time session.
Results
Gave a newly formed governance body its shared working foundation — a common vocabulary, a current-state assessment, and a starting roadmap, in a single half-day session.
Every Council member left with a completed, organization-specific AI Roadmap, built live during the session rather than handed over as a generic template.
Delivered a full session workbook and reference guides for every participant, giving the Council a resource to keep working from after the session ended.
Produced a licensable, reusable asset: a recorded Ethics module built into their LMS for the Council's ongoing use beyond the live session.
100% of attendees reported increased confidence post-workshop, and 100% saw greater business value in AI implementation, per post-training assessment data.
Why This Matters
Small room, high leverage. AACSB did the harder part — deciding AI governance mattered enough to form a body for it. The workshop's job was to make sure that body started from a shared, informed foundation instead of twelve people improvising in different directions. That's a different kind of impact than training staff at random, and it's a clear example of a workshop functioning as infrastructure, not just education.
