Executive Workshop · Bookings open [Qx] 2026
Half a day. One decision.
Not a slide deck.
On-site half-day or one-day for CODIR/COMEX of 6–12 whose organisation has already bought AI and now needs to decide what to do with it. You leave with two concrete artifacts — a use-case inventory with a kill list, and a priority matrix for the next two quarters. Not training. Not an awareness session. A decision.
Same methodology, shorter format — installed over 8 weeks at Novable, documented productivity gains of up to 30% on covered use cases.
-
The same AI topic has been on the CODIR agenda for three meetings running and nothing has moved.
-
Every AI discussion ends with "let's get more information" — and the information never arrives.
-
You have a copilot licence for 200 seats and nobody knows how many people actually use it each week.
-
You've spent €50K+ on AI tools this year and you can't say, with confidence, what came of it.
-
Everyone has used ChatGPT once — no team has changed how it works because of it.
-
The literacy training landed, certificates are framed, and two weeks later the practices are unchanged.
-
Three people are quietly using AI to do their jobs — nothing is documented, shared, or safe.
None of this is a strategy problem.
It's an
activation
problem — which means it can be decided in a room.
What you leave with
Two artifacts.
Signed in the room.
Use-case inventory + kill list
Every AI initiative in motion — named, mapped, scored. Plus the list of what to stop: parallel pilots nobody sponsors, licences nobody uses, tools nobody has time to learn. Leaving with the kill list is usually the decision that finances the workshop in the first quarter.
Priority matrix · next 2 quarters
Use cases that get budget, ones that wait, ones that go to a Sprint. Scored around the table against a yardstick your CODIR agreed on in the room. One page, signed by those who will defend it to the board.
How the half-day runs
Map. Kill or keep. Prioritise.
Three blocks, one volet pratique in each. Not hour-by-hour — calibrated to your CODIR on the fit check.
-
Map
Every AI initiative in your organisation, on one wall. Inventory built in the room by the people who know where the money is going.
Volet pratique · CODIR contributes, RT structures.
-
Kill or Keep
For each initiative, one decision: stop, continue, or escalate to a Sprint. Named sponsors, named deadlines.
Volet pratique · Live scoring round, no passive observers.
-
Prioritise
What gets budget in Q(n+1) and Q(n+2). The matrix is built, scored, signed.
Volet pratique · The CODIR commits in the room.

One-day · from
On-site, up to 12 people, one CODIR/COMEX. Tailored to your team's maturity and the context we scope on the fit check. Quoted net of VAT. Travel within BE/FR/LU included; quoted separately elsewhere.
Fit check · two columns
Read both before booking the call.
Fits
- A CODIR/COMEX of 6–12 people.
- At least one AI tool already deployed — a copilot licence counts.
- A scale-up or PME in BE, FR, or LU.
- A senior team willing to decide in the room, not take it back to committee.
Doesn't fit
- Literacy training for a department — that's a different engagement.
- An EU AI Act compliance framework — talk to a compliance firm, not to me.
- One person in the CODIR will decide for everyone — a workshop won't solve that.
- Your organisation hasn't bought any AI yet — you're one conversation earlier.
Who runs it
Raphael Thys. The Novable method.
Facilitated by Raphael Thys, AI activation consultant. The same methodology is installed over 8 weeks at Novable, with documented productivity gains of up to 30% on covered use cases — that case is the proof behind this half-day.
How is this different from AI literacy training?
Literacy training teaches your team what AI is. The workshop helps your CODIR decide what to do about AI. Different goal, different audience, different format.
Is it compatible with the 8-week Sprint?
Yes — the workshop is often the decision that scopes a Sprint. The priority matrix names which use cases go into the next Sprint; the Sprint then runs on one team for eight weeks. Same methodology, different phase.
In English or French?
Both. The workshop runs in the language your CODIR thinks in. Mixed rooms are fine — the artifacts are bilingual when the team is.
On-site only?
Yes. The decision-in-the-room outcome depends on the room. A remote version exists for scoping calls and follow-ups, but the workshop itself is on-site.
Does the kill list create internal political friction?
Sometimes — and that's often the point. A CODIR that can't agree to stop a parallel pilot usually can't agree to budget the next one. The workshop surfaces that conversation in a structured room, not an email thread.
