Scoping and Roadmapping AI Projects

AI projects succeed when leaders start with clarity, not code. Join us for an interactive, small-group workshop designed to help you define, de-risk, and deliver AI initiatives that actually move forward.

Overview

AI projects succeed when leaders start with a plan.

Join Rōnin’s Enterprise Architects, Byron McClain and Ryan Kettrey, for an interactive, small-group workshop focused that takes a practical look at what it really takes to get AI initiatives off the ground.

With decades of combined experience in software architecture, solution design, and enterprise consulting, Byron and Ryan will share insights, tools, and lessons learned from helping organizations navigate the path from early exploration to confident execution — no one-size-fits-all frameworks, just a real-world perspective.

This is not a sales pitch but an open, practical discussion designed to help you understand what effective AI planning looks like and how to bring that mindset back to your team.

Reserve your spot!

Space is intentionally limited to keep the workshop interactive and engaging. We want this to feel more like a conversation than a presentation, a chance for leaders to ask specific questions, share challenges, and walk away with real clarity on how to move their AI projects forward.
By keeping the group small, everyone gets the opportunity to dive deeper into their unique goals and leave with actionable next steps tailored to their organization.
