Do you feel that AI has huge potential, but in day-to-day operations, it's often unclear where to start and how to turn its possibilities into something that will have a real impact on your team and the entire company?

Over the course of 16 weeks, the AI Value Game for Middle Management program will help you grow from someone who uses AI primarily for personal productivity into a leader who can identify the biggest opportunities, build a compelling business case, and drive change all the way to measurable results.

At the end of the program, you won't just leave with inspiration. You will take away a specific AI transformation project ready to be presented to your manager or company leadership—including an economic and commercial business case, ROI, stakeholder map, change narrative, and implementation plan.

Why you should join us

Most workshops end with enthusiasm that fades by the next morning. At ATAIRU, we build on five pillars that ensure you gain not only new skills but also outputs you will actually use.

A plan you can present tomorrow. You won't leave with just a certificate, but with a completed business case containing numbers, a change narrative, stakeholder analysis, and a concrete implementation plan.

Three layers of impact: Me → Team → Organization. You will connect personal efficiency, team performance, and cross-functional impact across the entire organization.

No theory, just your reality. You will work on specific processes and opportunities from your own company, not on fictional scenarios.

A community of leaders. You will gain access to a network of managers from various industries who face similar challenges, providing a source of inspiration and long-term support.

Learn from people who have sat on your side of the table. The program is led by experts with years of experience from top-level business roles. The program also features guest speakers from companies that are already actively managing AI transformations.

What to expect during the 16 weeks

The program consists of four consecutive modules. Each one will take you a step further—from understanding your own readiness to developing a specific transformation project you can confidently present to your manager or the board.

Module 1: How ready are you for AI transformation?

At the beginning of the program, you will get a clear picture of where you, your team, and your organization stand today. Using an initial diagnostic tool, you will map your current level of working with AI and uncover what is truly holding you back.

You will select 2–3 specific opportunities with the highest potential and learn to distinguish where AI brings true business value versus where it only offers incremental productivity gains.

Module 2: How to create business value with AI

You will learn to look at AI through the lens of value. You will understand where the greatest potential lies within processes, how to identify key value drivers, and why the biggest benefits come from a true reinvention of processes rather than minor tweaks. You will learn to envision the future state of a process where AI fundamentally changes roles, decision-making, data handling, and technology usage.

You will see how this change translates into higher productivity, better customer experience, faster decision-making, lower costs, or new revenue streams. You will prepare arguments that clearly demonstrate where the value comes from, how it will be created, and why the project makes strategic and economic sense to the CFO and the board.

Module 3: How to gain support for change

Even the best business case will fail if stakeholders remain locked in their silos and only look for value within their own scope. You will gain practical tools for communication and leading change across the organization.

In this module, you will create a compelling change narrative, map key actors, and learn how to work with them so that potential opponents become partners.

Module 4: How to turn your plan into reality

In the final module, you will move your project into execution. You will design specific implementation steps, a change adoption strategy, and create a team roadmap of AI initiatives that will continue to bring value to the company in the future.

You will conclude the program with a final project presentation.

...and a methodology proven by reality

The program is based on the results of the first survey on AI in Leadership in the Czech Republic, which involved more than 500 leaders.

ATAIRU has already helped more than 11,500 managers and leaders develop their ability to lead people, strategies, and transformational change.

What participants of the AI Value Game conference—on which the entire program is based—say about our approach:

"AI is a buzzword today, but here we heard real experiences, actual problems, and concrete procedures. I appreciate the opportunity to be inspired by what other leaders are going through—and I leave with clear food for thought."

Vít Nantl

CEO, VLTAVA LABE MEDIA a.s.

"I appreciate how clearly and strategically the whole topic of AI was handled. It helped me think about AI at the level of corporate priorities—and at the same time, I received specific examples and practical procedures on how to move from pilots to real impact. It's great to see a framework emerging in the Czech Republic that helps leaders navigate all levels of adoption."

Magdalena Wavle

Head of People & Culture, Česká spořitelna

"I'm taking away a clear roadmap on how to use AI in my company. In the section focused on adoption, I learned a lot of examples of how to proceed within an organization."

Jan Sýkora

Marketing, Digital and Communications Director, MND

"Finally, someone clearly shows what to focus on first in AI and what steps to take next so that the company gains real value. A structured framework and sharing experiences from leaders in a similar situation is exactly what we need today."

Filip Bělák

Group Chief Financial Officer, Energetický a průmyslový holding
