Worklabs


Your teams bring the real-world challenges they are navigating. We integrate AI with “hackathon” and strategic thinking methods to help move them forward faster.

Our Worklabs blend proven strategic problem-solving methods with next-generation AI tools—either generative or agentic—depending on the nature of the problem. In a compact format, leadership teams move from stuck to forward motion with a solution they can begin testing immediately.

Wicked Problem Worklab™ with GenAI

For tackling “wicked” problems that require fresh thinking and strategic reframing

When leaders face complex, ambiguous challenges with no obvious path forward, this Worklab provides a structured way to surface insights and generate new solution possibilities. Using generative AI to accelerate strategic thinking, teams explore reframes, test assumptions, and move toward a viable “test-now” concept.

You walk away with:
A reframed problem, a short list of validated solution directions, and a near-term experiment leaders can immediately advance.

Workflow Worklab™ with Agentic AI

For solving workflow and process problems where automation can unlock capacity

When organizations need efficiency, repeatability, or relief from manual work, this Worklab helps teams identify high-impact workflows and redesign them with agentic AI. Participants map current processes, evaluate automation opportunities, and define a blueprint for deploying AI agents safely and effectively.

You walk away with:
A redesigned workflow, a clear automation opportunity, and a practical implementation path for an AI agent prototype.
