In short

This course is for professionals and managers. You will learn to use AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, Gemini) to generate ideas, group them, and formulate a common question. The deliverable includes a workshop outline, an ideas matrix, and a decision rule, enabling improved collaboration.

Why this training?

The problem
Teams struggle to structure creative workshops to generate and consolidate ideas, leading to stalemates when disagreements arise.
What it costs today
This results in inefficient work sessions, incomplete ideas, decisions made without clear consensus, and project delays.
Why this skill
This skill is necessary to guide discussions, transform divergences into actionable avenues, and achieve operational conclusions.
What you gain
Participants gain a method for facilitating workshops, and the company benefits from more robust decision-making processes and enhanced collaboration.

    The participant produces a set of diverse tracks by integrating specific constraints.

  3. Organize Convergence

    The participant effectively groups ideas and identifies points of divergence or assumptions.

  4. Conclude and Act

    The participant prepares the next steps for testing the tracks and formalizes the workshop conclusions.

Frequently asked questions

What will be the concrete outcome for our team after the training?

Your team will have a structured method for facilitating creative and disagreement resolution workshops. They will know how to generate ideas, organize them, and reach clear decisions. This will facilitate better internal collaboration and more effective decision-making.

Participants will work on a practical case of their choice, using AI tools to formulate a workshop question, generate avenues, group ideas, and establish a decision rule. This will allow them to practice the complete facilitation method.

What are the limitations of the AI tools used for this type of task, and who validates the workshop results?

AI tools are powerful assistants for generating and organizing ideas. They do not replace human expertise or critical judgment. The final validation of workshop results remains the responsibility of the participants and their management.

How can the presented method be adapted to the specificities of our business and our use cases?

The method is designed to be flexible and adaptable. We will use the business cases brought by the participants to personalize the exercises and discussions. This will allow direct application of the learnings to your specific professional contexts.
