  • The gap is headcount, not method
  • The room expects a motivational talk about AI

A management committee that cannot rank its AI investments

Modules 3.1 and 3.3. Six real use cases scored for return and risk, five safeguards set, and three decisions written down before anyone leaves the boardroom.

Booking this theme

Option A

Standalone Workshop

The 3h20 workshop, interactive, 10 to 12 participants, on site, with use cases from your sector. Nothing to prepare beforehand.

Option B

Rapid Assessment + Customised Workshop

Two or three days with your processes first, then the workshop with every exercise built on your own documents and workflows.

Option C

Customised Workshop + Video LMS

Everything in option B, plus a 3 to 5 minute micro-learning capsule delivered into your LMS, so the method is still there when the next joiner arrives.

Every module is quoted according to the audience, level of adaptation and delivery arrangements. Following a 30-minute discussion, eLearn2grow provides a written proposal. Larger cohorts, multi-module programmes and delivery outside Hong Kong can also be quoted.

The person in the room

Every module is designed and facilitated by David Daoud, combining more than 20 years of banking transformation experience with practical AI capability building.

Founder-led delivery

Next step

One 30-minute call is enough to say which module fits your room, and whether you need the assessment first. Past sessions are on the YouTube channel if you would rather judge the teaching before you book anything.
