AI Strategist

17th - 18th January 2025, Dubai

Most AI projects fail.

This is not because of bad engineering, but because teams skip the design strategy step that defines how an AI agent thinks, reasons, and acts within a business system.

This AI Strategy Bootcamp is a 2-day intensive design workshop that helps leaders transform their AI ambition into a scoped, fundable opportunity, producing human-in-the-loop designs and vendor-ready requirement artefacts.

This bootcamp is built on the Agent Signal Framework, proven to prevent million-dollar AI failures by aligning product, design, and technical stakeholders around one clear blueprint.

Goal

Equip senior leaders to turn AI from slideware into measurable business value. In one masterclass, you’ll learn how to identify high-leverage use cases, de-risk delivery with governance and controls, and align product, data, and operations around an executable AI strategy that improves revenue, efficiency, and customer experience.

What you will learn

Over two days, you’ll learn how to:

Spot real opportunities (not automation hype): Identify and prioritise high-value AI use cases grounded in business impact.
Design true agents: Build systems that remember, reason, and act safely with clear goals and safeguards.
Codify decisions & oversight: Map decision logic, escalation rules, and human-in-the-loop control flows.
Align your org around AI: Bring product, design, operations, and data under one coherent strategy and governance model.
Go vendor-ready: Convert validated concepts into a requirements pack for RFPs or internal build sign-off.

Who this is for

C-suite & VPs in strategy, product, technology, data, or operations who own transformation outcomes.
Product & Innovation leaders tasked with delivering AI initiatives that scale beyond pilots.
Operations & CX owners seeking automation and service improvements without compromising risk or trust.
PMO / Transformation teams responsible for portfolio prioritisation and enterprise rollout.

No coding background required - this is a strategy and execution masterclass focused on business results, not model math.

Takeaways

A clear map of where AI can create real value in your organization.
A human-centered AI design that reduces risk and increases trust.
A shared, cross-functional understanding of AI roles and ownership.
A requirements pack ready for vendor engagement or internal prototyping.
A framework to scale AI safely, repeatably, and measurably.

Agenda & Format

Day One: From Ambiguity to Insight

Reserve your spot now

Day One: Your team begins by making sense of what “AI” really means in your context. Through guided exploration and cross-disciplinary mapping, you’ll uncover:

A shared understanding of where AI can (and can’t) drive value.
The internal readiness gaps that often derail initiatives before they start.
How to connect your business goals to agentic behaviours rather than chatbot tricks.

By the end of the morning, your team speaks one language about AI. By the end of the day, you’ll have visual clarity on where friction exists and where intelligent automation could remove it.

Day 2: From Friction to Framework

Building on Day One’s discoveries, Day Two converts insight into structured opportunity. You’ll design what effective human-AI collaboration looks like inside your operations. Expect to leave with:

A prioritised set of high-value, testable AI opportunities linked to measurable goals.
A human-in-the-loop logic model to build trust and accountability into every workflow.
A cross-functional alignment artefact: your blueprint for internal sign-off or vendor briefing.

By the close of the bootcamp, every participant knows exactly what to build next, why it matters, and how to prove its success.
