This was good reinforcement of the messages we've been hearing from other IT leaders but it was delivered in a more programmatic way. It was a good discussion. This wasn't yet directed at time or cost savings but we probably will have some cost savings just by not doing the wrong thing. Read Less

The experience has been great. Lots of useful information. Still awaiting some information promised in the onboarding meeting. AI use cases in credit card process/card businesses and information about specialized or technical roles that companies should consider creating in relation to AI adoption. Read Less

Denis adapted the workshop from the usual four days, to one day to accommodate the groups' schedules and the more narrow focus of the objectives for the workshop. Denis expertly navigated us through the conversation and helped us reach our objectives of developing a workplan for our Chief Data Officers Council (CDOC) Sub-Committee on AI. Denis provided an excellent mix of facilitation and research information to enrich the session and discussion. The outcomes from the day exceeded participants' expectations as we greatly expanded on what we originally thought our focus for the year should be. Denis challenged our assumptions and kept the energy levels high throughout the day. Participants left the session feeling a sense of accomplishment and a way forward. The work was presented to the rest of the CDOC using some of the summary materials provided by Denis, and they accepted the workplan developed. Without Denis' expert moderating skills, we could not have brought all the participants and ideas together and had anywhere close to the same outcome. The session saved us days if not weeks of work in generating ideas and consensus. Read Less

Denis was a fantastic moderator, and was able to bring cohesion to a group of representatives from across the department who had never met before, and who had never been through a business-case driven exercise like this before. The tools and process that Denis put in place for us, and the materials shared by Ben will be very valuable as we move forward with our new AI Governance and prioritization processes. The prospect of dedicating four days to a workshop was daunting, but Denis kept the energy levels up and managed to get through everything in three days. Those three days were an excellent investment of time and very positive reviews were received from participants. They are anxious to continue in the same way as we implement a more rigourous governance process at TC. The methodology behind the workshop is excellent - with a good mix of validating the AI vision, principles, value drivers, and walking participants through a prioritization process of AI projects. Denis and I met after each section of the workshop and he made excellent suggestions to adapt the agenda and focus based on the participants. There were great outcomes from the workshop and we will continue to work through the process using the Info-Tech tools provided. Read Less

Doug was absolutely fantastic, he really helped jump start our AI strategy.

The roadmap and risk assessments will be a great benefit to us, as we map our AI plan.

Good collaboration, process and materials. Facilitator was excellent

this roadmap is an invaluable tool to start the discussions on AI and gain commitment within the Agency. I can't put any monetary value on this advice as we are in experimental stages and this isn't quantifiable that way. Denis was attentive to our needs and even provided a stronger focus on governance and capabilities within the workshop; which is essential and very much appreciated. This is a great placemat that will serve the Agency going forward; need to use it to start the discussions on commitment towards the AI vision created. Read Less

The information we received and the interaction with Jeremy were all excellent. I received positive comments from everyone who attended.
