Before you can set direction, you need a clear, honest picture of where you are.

• We'll help you identify where your organisation sits right now on Spark's AI maturity model – and map your path forward.

• We'll help you reframe your thinking about AI – from a set of tools to an enabler of your ways of working, your culture and the way you create value.

• We'll explore the hopes, fears and assumptions about AI that are already shaping your organisational response.

You'll leave with a clear view of where you are, where you're headed, and a shared language to move forward with.

You don't need to become a technologist. You do need to understand enough to make good decisions.

• We’ll share the AI stack creative leaders need to understand – LLMs, diffusion models, AI agents – and identify the only 3 tools your team needs.

• You’ll discover the role of data in turning generic AI responses into client-ready outputs.

• We'll explore the difference between augmentation and automation – and why it matters.

• We’ll share top-of-class examples of AI agents embedded into strategy, creative and client services workflows to inspire your next steps.

You'll leave with a clear understanding of the AI landscape, where the opportunities lie for your organisation, and the power of designing AI into your processes, rather than bolting it on.

Without a clear vision, AI initiatives pull in different directions, and momentum stalls. Your AI strategy should serve your business strategy – not just sit alongside it.

• We’ll discuss how AI is reshaping client expectations, and the way creative work gets valued and priced – and what to do about it.

• We'll help you identify where AI creates genuine advantage for your organisation – and where it creates risks that need managing.

• We’ll explore your competitive positioning and how, rather than making your work generic, AI can be used to make it more unique.

• We'll work with you to define what you want to be known for in an AI-enabled world.

• We'll identify your priority opportunities across innovation, augmentation and automation.

You'll walk away with a one-page AI strategy aligned to your business goals.

Ideas and good intentions don't move organisations forward. Clear priorities do.

• We'll use Spark's 3S Framework – Size, Speed, Scale – to assess your AI opportunities against real commercial and cultural criteria.

• We'll help you build a balanced portfolio of quick wins and longer-term bets.

• We’ll support you to prioritise the initiatives that matter most, commercially and culturally.

• We'll help you identify what success looks like and how to measure it – not just in terms of time saved, but quality, revenue, client satisfaction and differentiation.

You'll leave with a prioritised AI initiative list your organisation can take action immediately, with clear success metrics.

The most common reason AI programmes stall isn't a lack of enthusiasm. It's a lack of ownership. 

• You’ll learn why AI programmes fail without clear accountability – and how to build the structures that prevent it.

• We'll work with you to design an effective AI taskforce that works for your organisation and culture – with clear roles, responsibilities and decision rights.

• You’ll agree how AI decisions get made, reviewed and evolved – so governance enables progress rather than slowing it down.

You'll walk away with a defined AI taskforce structure with clear roles and responsibilities, and first-sprint priority actions assigned to named individuals.

AI adoption lives and dies on culture. Leaders who role-model curiosity, openness and responsible experimentation create the conditions for the whole organisation to move. 

• We'll explore how to model AI-forward behaviours. 

• We'll work through how to build genuine internal AI confidence before you try to sell it.

• We'll prepare you to talk to clients about AI proactively, with credibility and clarity.

• You'll develop a robust AI policy tailored to your organisation's values, clients and risk profile.

You'll leave with an AI policy and the tools and confidence to lead the change – with your team, your clients, and your culture intact.
