Acceleration Lab
A hands-on AI innovation lab for teams and leaders ready to move from curiosity to capability.
Your people work on real problems.
The Acceleration Lab uses a service value chain methodology, rooted in Harvard Business School thinking, to help leaders see their organization through a new lens. Teams deconstruct how they create value today, identify where AI can automate routine work, augment human judgment, and uncover entirely new sources of value for customers.
Along the way, participants build a working understanding of generative AI — not just what the tools can do, but how they think, where they break down, and how to architect them into real workflows. Over 60% of session time is hands-on with your organization's AI tools.
What your team will gain
A clear-eyed view of your value chain
Teams map how value flows through their organization and pinpoint where AI can eliminate friction, accelerate decisions, or create something new.
Practical AI fluency
Participants work with your AI tools as thought partners, learning advanced prompting, personas, and agent-building techniques in the context of real work.
A futurist muscle
The lab challenges leaders to look two years ahead — exploring industry trends, imagining their future customer experience, and creating an artifact from that future.
Experiments, not plans
Every session ends with AI-driven experiments participants built themselves, ready to run the next morning.
Flexible format
The Acceleration Lab adapts to your context. We've run it as a full day, two half-days, or a series of focused 90-minute sessions over several weeks. Groups are kept intentionally small so participants get real coaching and their work gets real attention. In-person, virtual, or hybrid.
Every engagement is lightly customized: your industry, your strategic priorities, your people's real challenges. We do the design work upfront so the session feels like it was built for your team, because it was.
Built on your AI tools
Every exercise, experiment, and agent build happens inside the tools your people already have — Copilot, ChatGPT, Gemini, or whatever your organization has deployed. No demo environments. No switching to unfamiliar platforms. Participants leave knowing how to use the tools that will be on their screen Monday morning.
