AI Facilitator Training

Train your people to lead cross-functional AI work from opportunity identification to workflow redesign. The 3-day AI Facilitator Training combines AI Problem Framing and the AI Workflow Sprint into one practical program. Participants learn how to identify and prioritise high-value AI use cases, bring business and technology stakeholders together, redesign workflows around AI, and guide teams toward clear investment and implementation decisions. They leave with both methods and the full implementation toolkits to run them internally.

Course overview

AI transformation is cross-functional work. Deciding where AI should create value, how a workflow should change and what should actually be built requires business, operational and technical expertise to come together. Those perspectives rarely align by themselves. Someone has to structure the work, bring the right people into the room and guide the group toward clear decisions.

That is the role of the AI Facilitator.

For organisations, this may be an AI Enablement Lead, Transformation Lead or AI Champion helping different business units identify and progress AI opportunities. For AI vendors, internal IT teams and Forward Deployed Engineers, it may be the person responsible for working with a client or business team to understand the real problem, shape the opportunity and create a clear path toward implementation.

The 3-day AI Facilitator Training teaches two methods Design Sprint Academy uses in its own client work: AI Problem Framing & AI Workflow Sprint

AI Problem Framing helps teams move from scattered ideas, mandates and requests to clearly defined, prioritised AI use cases tied to business value.

AI Workflow Sprint takes one of those use cases and helps a cross-functional team understand the current workflow, redesign it around AI, define the solution and prepare it for prototyping and employee validation.

Participants practise both methods over three intensive days and learn how to facilitate them with different teams, clients and business units.

Every participant leaves with the full implementation toolkits for both methods — playbooks, detailed agendas, facilitation slides, worksheets and practitioner materials — so they can put the methods into practice immediately and repeat them across different AI opportunities.

What you'll learn

  • Turn broad AI ideas, mandates and business requests into clearly defined AI use cases
  • Connect AI opportunities to strategic goals and measurable business outcomes
  • Bring business, operational and technical stakeholders into one structured process
  • Facilitate cross-functional AI discovery and decision-making
  • Map workflows as they actually operate today, including handoffs, bottlenecks and workarounds
  • Identify where AI can genuinely change the work rather than simply automate existing steps
  • Redesign workflows around AI capabilities and desired business outcomes
  • Define success metrics and surface technical, data, integration, legal and adoption risks
  • Turn a redesigned workflow into a clear solution storyboard and scope for an AI Agent MVP
  • Guide teams to make evidence-based scale, iterate or stop decisions
  • Run both methods repeatedly across teams and business units using the supplied implementation toolkits

Participants learn how to take a broad mix of AI ideas, leadership mandates, business requests and technical possibilities and turn them into a smaller number of clearly defined opportunities. They connect ideas to strategic business goals, identify the people most affected, understand the problems worth solving and map the relevant journey or workflow. The strongest opportunities are then evaluated for business value, feasibility, data and risk. Participants practise how to facilitate these conversations across business and technical stakeholders, including how to manage different assumptions and priorities without allowing the workshop to become an open-ended debate. By the end of the day, teams have moved from scattered AI ideas to clearly defined and prioritised AI Use Case Cards that leadership can compare and decide whether to take forward.
