AI & Automation Workshops

Rapidly identify, validate, and prioritise AI and automation opportunities - structured workshops that turn ideas into a delivery-ready backlog, with clear constraints, risks, and next steps.

Many organisations know they want to use AI and automation, but struggle to translate intent into delivery. Typical blockers include unclear use cases, fragmented data, unknown security and compliance constraints, and a lack of prioritisation. The result is either stalled initiatives or disconnected proofs-of-concept that never scale into operational value.

LW IT Solutions delivers AI & Automation Workshops as a structured, outcomes-driven engagement designed to move quickly from ideas to a delivery plan. We facilitate focused sessions to capture candidate use cases, assess feasibility and value, identify data and integration needs, and define a pragmatic roadmap. Workshops are technology-aware (Microsoft, Azure, Power Platform, automation tooling) but remain grounded in business outcomes, security, and operational reality. You leave with a prioritised backlog, a feasibility and risk view, and clear next steps for prototype, pilot, and scale.

Talk through your requirements and leave with a clear next-step plan.

Service Overview

Highlights

Structured, agenda-led workshop with defined outputs
Technology-aware discussions grounded in operational reality
Consistent value vs feasibility prioritisation model
Explicit focus on data, integration, and risk constraints
Outputs designed to feed directly into delivery planning

Business Benefits

Clear translation of AI and automation ideas into delivery-ready use cases
Early visibility of feasibility, data, and integration constraints
Reduced wasted effort by prioritising initiatives with realistic value and viability
Shared understanding of risks, dependencies, and operating considerations
Aligned stakeholders and a concrete set of next steps for delivery

Typical use cases

Early-stage exploration of AI and automation opportunities
Too many ideas but no clear prioritisation or delivery focus
Previous proofs-of-concept that failed to progress to production
Need to assess AI feasibility within existing Microsoft or automation platforms
Programme initiation requiring stakeholder alignment and a clear roadmap

Objectives & deliverables

What Success Looks Like

Identify high-value AI and automation opportunities aligned to measurable business outcomes
Prioritise use cases using a consistent value vs feasibility approach
Clarify data, integration, security, and compliance constraints early
Define a delivery roadmap: prototype/MVP, pilot, scale, and operating model considerations
Create stakeholder alignment and reduce wasted effort on low-viability ideas

What You Get

Use case backlog with clear descriptions, owners, and target outcomes
Value vs feasibility matrix and prioritised shortlist
Constraints and dependencies log (data, integrations, identity, security/compliance)
Risk register and mitigation recommendations (workshop-level)
Recommended roadmap with phases and indicative effort bands (high-level)
Prototype/MVP plan for selected use cases (where agreed)
Workshop summary deck or document suitable for stakeholder alignment

How It Works

Pre?work - short questionnaire and document review to understand goals and constraints.
Workshop - facilitated sessions to capture use cases, assess feasibility, and align stakeholders.
Synthesis - consolidate outputs into a prioritised backlog, risk view, and roadmap.
Playback - review findings with sponsors and agree next-step delivery actions.

Engagement Options

Single Workshop - One-off session focused on identifying and prioritising opportunities
Multi-Session - Extended workshop series for larger or more complex estates
Workshop Plus - Workshop with follow-on support to shape a prototype or pilot plan
