The AI Dialogues™: From Hype to How—Building Practical AI is a two-day immersive program that moves beyond buzzwords into clear, working understanding. You’ll learn what AI is (and isn’t) in plain language, see where it’s creating value across public and private sectors, and practice the prompts, workflows, and tools that translate directly to real results. The focus is pragmatic: align people, process, and technology; cut through jargon; and make confident, responsible decisions in your own context.

Alongside hands-on work, you’ll join guided dialogues on AI’s larger implications—environmental impact, workforce shifts, governance, and the road to “superintelligence.” These conversations create space for reflection and peer learning, helping you separate signal from noise and develop a point of view you can stand behind—today and as the landscape evolves.

By the end, you’ll understand core AI types and where they support or disrupt your mission; speak about AI fundamentals with clarity; spot high-value opportunities while avoiding common pitfalls; and apply practical prompt-writing and tool selection for strategic and operational impact. You’ll leave with a responsible adoption plan—next steps, resources, and a forward-looking lens—to lead with confidence in a changing environment.

This two-day workshop offers a dynamic, story-driven dive into the CM2 methodology, immersing attendees in a simulated scenario that walks through the lifecycle phases of a product—from conception to retirement—and how CM2 contributes to the success of each. In each phase, participants engage with CM2’s core principles through role-based decision-making and activities that mirror real-world challenges.

Ideal for both newcomers and seasoned professionals considering CM2-CORE or CM2-PRO certification, this session delivers a high-level walkthrough of the transformative mindset and tactical skills that can be unlocked with these certifications. For those who are already certified, the experience provides a novel way to refresh and hone knowledge and skills, and to mentor those who are exploring CM2 for the future. Through collaboration, guided scenarios, and peer-led insight, attendees walk away with a clear understanding of CM2’s role in driving real efficiency and governance—and a renewed enthusiasm for the future of integrated process excellence.
