Agentic AI Shark Tank: Agentic AI Workshop

AI & Digital | Change & Transition

Course Overview

The Agentic AI Shark Tank Challenge is an intensive, practical immersion program designed to accelerate organizational AI fluency and active leadership sponsorship. Moving beyond theoretical enthusiasm, this hands-on initiative challenges participants to solve real work friction points by building, testing and pitching working agentic AI prototypes and defensible business cases to executive “Sharks.”

Format & Length

  • Customization runway: an ideal six-week planning runway to tailor key content and assets so participants work on business-relevant applications
  • Workshop: a minimum four-hour or full-day workshop and agent build session
  • Team structure: teams operate in five distinct roles (Team Facilitator, Pain Point Analyst, Agent Builder, Rubric Evaluator, Pitch Writer/Presenter) that mirror an enterprise innovation squad

Audience

  • Cross-functional employees seeking to drive transformation and solve challenges with agentic AI
  • Innovation squads formed to solve real work friction points
  • Leadership development participants working alongside executive “Sharks” (such as CIOs, CTOs and CISOs)

Methods

  • Live interactive workshop
  • Hands-on software configuration (e.g., Microsoft Copilot Studio or approved enterprise AI tools)
  • Business case build
  • Executive pitch sessions
  • Active Q&A with senior leaders

You may need this program if...

Leaders and teams are stuck in passive “digital literacy” (using basic chat tools) rather than “digital fluency” (building autonomous agent networks to transform end-to-end workflows).

High-value business workflows suffer from operational friction, multi-step delays or manual overhead.

AI initiatives lack clear business narratives, defensible ROI calculations or executive sponsorship to scale beyond the pilot stage.

Your organization needs to enforce responsible AI standards, data security guardrails and human-in-the-loop oversight in practical applications.

Program Outcomes:

Shift Mindsets to Digital Fluency: transition from basic prompt engineering to designing multi-step autonomous agents using core building blocks (Instructions, Actions, Knowledge, Triggers and Channels).

Build Working Prototypes: gain hands-on technical experience configuring functional AI agents in Microsoft Copilot Studio or equivalent enterprise tools with guardrails and knowledge base connections.

Quantify Business Value: develop defensible financial models that measure direct impact (cost savings, revenue uplift) and indirect impact (productivity gains, cycle time reduction, risk mitigation).

Secure Executive Sponsorship: pitch live solutions to executive “Sharks” with explicit resource “Asks” to break down technical, structural and governance barriers.

Proven solutions with meaningful business outcomes.
