How leaders move AI adoption forward with Rapid Results

You have tried AI yourself. You have seen what it can do. Yet in your organisation, not much has changed: a few enthusiasts experiment on their own, others wait to see what happens, and nobody talks openly about what works. Meanwhile, expectations from the top keep rising.

If this sounds familiar, you are not alone. Wherever your organisation is on its AI journey, many leaders are asking the same questions. They can sense where the challenges lie – in the team, in the culture, in their own role as a leader – but not yet what to do about them. Scattered pilots rarely scale, and big AI programmes with targets and budgets often bring little real change to daily work – and risk being outpaced by AI developments before they even get started.

Rapid Results takes a different route. It starts from a real challenge your organisation faces, not from the technology. A small team sets an ambitious, measurable goal for 100 days and uses AI as part of the solution. People learn by doing, results become visible quickly, and leaders learn what it really takes to scale.

In this webinar we first map the leadership challenges of early AI adoption together, so you can see where you stand. Then we frame good challenges for AI-themed Rapid Results projects live, step by step. In the breakout rooms we work on your own cases and help you sketch a first 100-day challenge for your organisation.

During this webinar you will

  • See where you stand: map the typical leadership challenges of early AI adoption and how they connect
  • Learn why the right starting point is a real challenge, not AI itself
  • Watch us frame good Rapid Results challenges live: from a business problem to an ambitious, measurable 100-day goal
  • Understand the leader’s role: sponsor, protector of learning space, and remover of obstacles
  • Work on your own case with peers in a breakout room and sketch your first 100-day challenge

Your hosts

Where should we start? – Mikko Lehtonen helps organisations find the real problems worth solving, so that AI becomes part of the answer instead of the goal itself. Mikko Lehtonen, Partner, ICG Integrated Consulting Group

How do you keep the momentum? – Tommi Gustafsson helps teams turn ambitious goals into visible results in short, focused cycles. He believes momentum comes from early wins, clear ownership and leaders who clear obstacles out of the way rather than add more reporting. Tommi Gustafsson, Partner, ICG Integrated Consulting Group

Who should be on the team? – Kinga Illyés helps leaders broaden the circle of change beyond the usual early adopters and balance free experimentation with clear goals. Kinga Illyés, Partner, ICG Integrated Consulting Group

What does it take to go first? – Tomi Hussi encourages leaders to start their own AI learning path with courage and to share their AI use openly. He sees AI as a way to liberate human potential, not only to squeeze out more efficiency. Tomi Hussi, Partner, ICG Integrated Consulting Group

Who should attend

Executives, managers, team leaders and HR professionals who have some AI experience themselves but feel their organisation is not yet up to speed, and who are looking for a practical way to bring AI into everyday work. No technical background needed. Seats are limited to keep the breakout groups small.

What comes after

We can help you launch your first Rapid Results AI projects: from prioritising and framing the right challenges to coaching the teams through the 100 days. Ask us in the webinar or contact one of the hosts.
