Competence Building Workshop
From assessment to implementation — a hands-on programme where your organisation actually launches its TwinLadder Assessment. By the end of day two, your team will have completed the assessment and built an actionable implementation plan.
What You'll Gain
Practical outputs you will take away from the workshop.
Who Should Attend
Designed for leaders and specialists responsible for AI strategy.
- C-suite executives with AI strategy responsibility
- Department heads across legal, HR, finance, and operations
- Chief Information Officers and IT Directors
- Compliance Officers and Data Protection Officers
- HR Directors leading organisational training mandates
- Board members overseeing AI governance
Recommended to complete the 1-day Article 4 workshop or an equivalent internal assessment first.
Our Method
Designed for groups of 10–30 people, delivered interactively — on-site or online.
Work Group Exercises
Participants work in small groups mapping workflows, assessing risks, and building implementation plans
Panel Discussions
Structured cross-department discussions — legal, HR, IT, and leadership at the same table
Insight Sharing
Each department brings a unique perspective — collective intelligence exceeds any external consultant
Live Assessment
TwinLadder assessment conducted during the workshop — results become the foundation for Day 2 implementation
Why Two Days?
A one-day workshop can identify gaps and create a roadmap. But to genuinely change how your organisation approaches AI — with policies, training plans, governance structures, and evidence processes — you need time for implementation detail.
Day 1 diagnoses and strategises. Day 2 builds and implements. You leave not with a plan, but with an implementation package you can start executing immediately.
Assessment & Strategy
For in-house workshops, each session is adapted to your organisation's context and AI readiness level.
AI Landscape & Organisational Context
- The current state of AI in your sector: capabilities, limitations, and real-world failures
- Article 4 requirements in context: what applies to your organisation specifically
- The competence paradox: why AI creates the problem it claims to solve
- Mapping your AI ecosystem: sanctioned tools, shadow AI, and vendor dependencies
Organisational Assessment
- Live TwinLadder assessment for your organisation
- Score interpretation across 7 competence pillars: Deployment Competence, Policy, Training, Tools, Evidence, Governance, AI Decision Boundaries
- Identify highest-risk gaps by department and role group
- Benchmark against sector and maturity level targets
Competence Mapping & Strategy
- Define target competence levels for each role group
- Map training needs to Article 4 proportionality requirements
- Identify which competences can be trained vs which need structural solutions
- Prioritise: compliance floor first, then strategic competence

What's Included
Optional Pre-Design Phase
Before the 2-day workshop, we run a preparation phase: interview key stakeholders, map your AI tools and workflows, and conduct a preliminary TwinLadder assessment. This allows every session to be tailored to your organisation's actual situation — not generic scenarios.
