Lac-à-l'épaule · Strategic retreat

AI Leadership Retreat

Step back to decide how AI enters your organization: strategy, adoption and the rules of the game, calmly and among decision-makers.

Lac-à-l'épaule

Your strategic retreat into artificial intelligence

Give your teams an inspiring pause to imagine, reflect on and build their future with AI. Our “AI lac-à-l'épaule” — Québec's name for an off-site leadership retreat — combines expertise, immersion and good company to catalyse your innovation projects. Because lasting adoption rests on teams who understand AI and on clear rules, every retreat can include a governance and literacy track, weighted to your priorities.

Duration
1 to 3 days

Tailored

Three tracks

Strategy, governance, literacy: you set the mix

You decide how much room each track gets: from a 100% strategy retreat to a full governance workshop.

Strategy and adoption

Identify the use cases that matter, prioritize them and build the roadmap that will carry them.

Governance and compliance

Set the rules of the game: usage policy, uses classified by risk level, Law 25 and AI Act obligations.

Literacy

Measure where leadership stands, then plan your teams' training, backed by attestations.

Two formats

Two formats, one goal: propelling you forward with AI

Format 1

A session within your own retreat

  • A tailored session on the opportunities of artificial intelligence
  • Inspiring keynote, interactive workshop or industry case study
  • Adaptable themes: governance and compliance (Law 25, AI Act, ISO 42001), team AI literacy, generative AI, intelligent automation

Format 2

End-to-end organisation

  • Turnkey logistics: a beautiful venue, catering, transport, lodging, facilitation
  • Hands-on workshops, project co-development sessions, AI use-case mapping
  • A hybrid of active training and strategic consulting
  • An upfront AI literacy diagnostic of the leadership team, using our online tool
  • Custom deliverables: AI roadmap, draft usage policy, map of uses by risk level, exploratory prototypes
  • Post-retreat follow-up: rolling out training and attestations to your teams, to move from decisions to evidence
