Agenda and Learning Outcomes

Most AI agents fail - not because of technology, but because of design. In this 3-hour executive workshop, you’ll learn a structured methodology for designing AI agents that solve real business problems. You’ll see live demonstrations across leading platforms, including Microsoft Copilot Studio, then design your own agent using our 8-field AI Agent Design Canvas: a blueprint you can hand to your IT team the next day. No coding required. No software accounts needed. Just the strategic thinking skills that separate successful AI initiatives from expensive experiments.
