AI Workshop FAQ
How much does an AI workshop cost?
Quick answer
Acuity AI Advisory’s AI productivity workshop for leadership teams starts from €5,000 + VAT for a half-day facilitated session with written outputs. Board AI briefings are similarly priced. All engagements are fixed-fee — no hourly billing, no open-ended scope. The cost of an AI workshop varies across providers; the important question is not the day rate but the output: what does the organisation have that it did not have before, and is that worth the fee?
What determines AI workshop cost
Several factors determine the cost of an AI workshop. Group size: a workshop for a four-person leadership team requires different preparation, personalisation, and facilitation than a workshop for a 20-person senior management group. Pre-work depth: workshops with substantive pre-work diagnostics — where the facilitator analyses each participant’s role and work patterns before the session — carry a higher cost than workshops that begin cold. Output complexity: a workshop that produces a written implementation plan for each participant, a team-level AI governance decision, and a set of governance recommendations requires more work than a workshop that ends with a group discussion and no written output. Delivery format: half-day workshops cost less than full-day workshops. Principal delivery: workshops delivered by the principal cost more than those delivered by associates, but produce better outcomes for senior leadership groups.
How to evaluate workshop value
Evaluating workshop value requires comparing the cost of the workshop to the value of what the organisation will have afterwards. For a leadership team AI productivity workshop at €5,000 to €8,000 + VAT: the team leaves with personalised AI implementation plans for each member, a shared understanding of AI governance requirements, and a 90-day action list. If those plans are implemented, the value produced — in time saved, decisions improved, operational efficiency — will far exceed the workshop cost. For a board AI briefing: the board leaves able to exercise meaningful AI governance oversight, which reduces the risk of governance failures that could cost orders of magnitude more than the briefing. The question is not whether the workshop is expensive; it is whether the outcome justifies the investment. A clear output specification before commissioning the workshop makes this comparison straightforward.
