From AI readiness to a live workflow: the NoéMI workshop sequence
40 hours: preferably five weeks at one day per week, or five consecutive days or ten weeks. The week-by-week sequence below describes the preferred format.
Phase 0 | Before the workshops
A remote readiness assessment, readout, and remediation decision establish your security perimeter before the workshops begin. Phase 0 is a prerequisite, not a workshop week.
Week 1 · Description | Define the task
We identify your most costly administrative bottlenecks and record how long each task takes today. Problem owners describe the work and agree the baseline with the builders.
Week 2 · Delegation | Build the workflow
Problem owners and builders turn the task into a working agent, define what it may do, and log executions for review.
Week 3 · Discernment | Test the safeguards
Teams test the Guardian Layer, review execution records, and challenge the workflow with red-team scenarios inside the established perimeter.
Week 4 · Diligence | Review the evidence
Connect the workflow to approved company systems and review logged results against the baseline. Keep gross cost avoidance separate from net ROI and record the costs.
Week 5 · Capstone | Launch and hand over
Complete the live deployment, security audit, and governance handover. Teams demonstrate what they built and retain a record of safeguards and measured results.
Evidence of achievement
George Mason University non-credit digital badges: AI Fluent Professional, AI Implementation Specialist and AI Governance Architect.
Badge eligibility requires at least 35 hours of instructional presence and the applicable completion requirements. Accelerators also teach a concept back to Explorers. Registration alone does not earn a badge.
Other ways to build together
A one-day executive workshop and the Velocity hackathon are also available. Phase 0 is the remote entry to every format. Discuss the scope and fit after readiness; this is an organization-focused offer.
