Smart Websites x AI Coaching Academy
AI Roadmap Workshop
A practical, two-hour strategy workshop for Smart Websites clients.
Identify the most valuable ways to use AI in your business, select a manageable set of priorities, and build a practical roadmap for the next three months.
Choose priorities
Stop Collecting AI Ideas. Start Choosing Priorities.
New AI tools arrive every week. Without a strategy, it is easy to spend hours experimenting without producing meaningful business results.
During this workshop, you will examine how work currently gets done across your business and identify where AI could:
- +Reduce repetitive administration
- +Accelerate research, writing, and analysis
- +Improve marketing and customer communication
- +Help you respond to enquiries more efficiently
- +Capture and reuse your business knowledge
- +Support faster, better-informed decisions
- +Create more consistent processes across your team
You will then decide which opportunities deserve attention now, which can wait, and what you should test during the next 90 days.
Your three-month AI plan
A guided four-stage process.
You will leave with a focused plan you can begin implementing immediately.
2
Find the Leverage
Explore where AI could save time, improve quality, reduce friction, or help your team make better decisions.
3
Prioritise the Opportunities
Compare potential AI projects according to their likely value, difficulty, risk, and readiness.
4
Build Your Roadmap
Choose a focused set of experiments and organise them into a practical 30-, 60-, and 90-day plan.
What you will leave with
Decisions, priorities, and next actions.
By the end of the workshop, you will have practical outputs you can use straight away.
- +A mapped view of the workflows you want to improve
- +A prioritised shortlist of relevant AI use cases
- +A practical 90-day AI roadmap
- +Several experiments you can begin immediately
- +Prompt templates and workflows to support your first steps
- +A clearer understanding of where AI can create value in your business
- +Greater confidence about what to do next
You will leave with decisions, priorities, and next actions - not another sprawling list of tools to investigate.
