Private workshops
The same framework as the public Amsterdam session — a durable way of judging what to trust, not a prompt library — delivered privately, on-site, and tailored to the decisions your team actually faces, in one of two configurations depending on who's in the room.
What this is
The public workshop and the private track share the same diagnosis and the same framework — the difference is delivery. Where the public session gathers strangers in Amsterdam, a private engagement is built around your organisation's own decisions, in your own vocabulary, with two facilitators who tailor every exercise to the room.
Which configuration fits depends on who's in the room: aligning a leadership team on judgment and accountability, or turning a delivery team's scattered AI experimentation into shared practice. Most organisations start with one and add the other later.
Two tracks
A 4-hour executive working session for leadership teams navigating AI adoption faster than they can align around it — fragmented decisions, inconsistent communication, unclear accountability.
A 6-hour practical workshop for contributor teams where individual AI experimentation hasn't yet become a shared, reliable capability — scattered quality, rework, uncertain trust.
Not sure which fits? Tell us who's in the room and we'll help you find the right way in — no price appears until we've confirmed the fit.
How it's delivered
Every private session is led by the same two facilitators as the public workshop — a philosopher who builds AI, and a coach who builds teams — with an explicit split: conceptual framing on one side, facilitation mechanics on the other. Delivered as an engagement, not a one-off event.
