A 2-hour speculative workshop to imagine a world where AI is no longer a tool, but a team.
Participants and rôles :
🧾 Pre-Workshop Prep
| Prep Material | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Current customer journey map (simplified) | Helps participants later contrast the present vs. imagined future |
| 3–5 very relevant user itws / Circleback link | Trigger empathy and show where current tools fail |
| High level Persona sheet (CFO, COO, Head of Ops) | Base document to evolve into 2030+ persona |
| 1-pager on Cresus vision draft (if exists) | Aligns the team on what’s already been said or assumed |
| Optional inspiration pack: ‣ Runway’s AI workflows ‣ ChatGPT use in finance ‣ Fictional AIs (Her, Jarvis, Samantha) | Loosens constraints and stimulates "what if" thinking |
| Phase | Type | Focus |
|---|---|---|
| Start | 🧠 Divergent | Explore without constraints (world, persona, agent roles) |
| Middle | 🧭 Narrative | Build a plausible, desirable AI+human journey |
| End | 🧩 Convergent | See the whole system and align on key principles |
