10 Questions to Ask Before Your First AI Acceleration Workshop

The Questions That Determine Workshop Value

The quality of an AI acceleration workshop output is directly proportional to the quality of context the client brings to it. These ten questions are not gatekeeping — they are the prompts that help WTA’s engineers produce a 90-day plan that is specific, actionable, and realistic for your environment.

The Ten Questions

1. What is the highest-friction manual process in your current operations? This identifies the wedge use case — the first workflow where agentic automation delivers measurable ROI in 90 days.

2. Where does your current data live, and how clean is it? Data readiness is the most common blocker for AI delivery. Knowing the answer before the workshop saves significant scoping time.

3. What compliance frameworks govern your AI deployments? HIPAA, GDPR, SOC 2, EU AI Act, ISO 42001 — knowing which apply determines the governance architecture from day one.

4. What is your current cloud infrastructure? WTA is cloud-agnostic (Azure, AWS, Google Cloud) but the stack selection is faster when the existing infrastructure is known.

5. Have you attempted AI implementations before, and what happened? Understanding previous attempts — and why they failed or stalled — shapes the 90-day plan significantly.

6. Who owns AI decisions in your organisation? CTO, CIO, VP Engineering, or a new AI leadership role — knowing the decision structure determines how the governance model is designed.

7. What is your timeline expectation? WTA’s 90-day delivery model is non-negotiable for production-grade agentic platforms. If your timeline is shorter, the scope needs to be smaller.

8. What does success look like at 90 days? Specific, measurable success criteria are required to design the evaluation infrastructure and DORA metric baselines from the start.

9. Who from your team will be in the room? Bring technical stakeholders who know your stack and data infrastructure — not only business stakeholders.

10. What is your biggest concern about AI implementation? The honest answer to this question shapes the governance approach more than any other input. Book your free AI Acceleration Workshop with WTA — bring the answers to these ten questions and we will produce a specific 90-day plan.
