Executive programme · 4 sessions
For leaders taking AI from pilots to practice.
Over four sessions, you turn the initiatives you already have into a second brain your company actually runs on.
Built for companies that want to lead the region.
Set your vision and KPIs
Map the gap, honestly
Leave with a roadmap for leadership
Facilitated by Linn Treutiger, CPO at Devies, with guest speaker Christian Hendriksen, Copenhagen Business School
The premise
Most technology leaders already work on a company brain or company context, whatever it’s called internally.
The unclear part is the end result. Defining it is where this programme starts.
A second brain is more than agents on your intranet. It’s a living model of your company that everyone can work with.
It holds your data, discussions and decisions, with the reasoning behind them. Captured as work happens, not pieced together afterwards.
It creates real value when three things are in place:
01
so the right people find the right information at the right time.
02
where teams share skills, apps and insights, so the whole organisation improves together.
03
so the capability stays with your company.
What it can look like
Every company has an Anna.
4 sessions · January to May
Spaced out, each building on the last. You bring a real problem, your peers bring theirs.
16:00–21:00 incl. dinner
Start with the big picture: what a second brain could mean for your company.
Guest speaker
Associate Professor at Copenhagen Business School
Christian researches how organisations adopt, govern and create value with generative AI, with a particular focus on how companies move from individual experimentation to shared practices and measurable value.
Together, you set the vision and lay the conceptual groundwork:
What should it accomplish?
How will you know it’s working?
KPIs and success criteria are agreed before anyone touches a keyboard.
16:00–21:00 incl. dinner
Vision set. Now the honest question: where does your company actually stand today?
Building on your Brainwork from session one, you map where you are and the organisational obstacles in the way:
Which fundamentals are already in place: data, tools, processes, ownership?
What still needs to be arranged for the second brain to succeed?
In your peer group, you compare notes with companies at different stages and see your own situation from a new angle.
16:00–21:00 incl. dinner
You know where you’re going and where you stand. Now: how do you get there?
Together, you build the roadmap: the concrete steps and infrastructure that close the gap.
What it takes, technically and organisationally, to get the rest of your company on board
Priorities, sequencing and resources: what to build first, and what can wait
In your peer group, you test your roadmap against how other companies tackle the same challenge, and leave with next steps for the Brainwork ahead.
16:00–21:00 incl. dinner
The last session asks one question: what did we actually build?
Every company presents how far it got and what it learned. Wins and misfires both.
Hearing how others tackled the same challenge, often in very different ways, is one of the most valuable parts of the programme.
Then you set new targets for where your second brain goes next.
Between sessions
You don’t have to figure out a second brain on your own.
Throughout the programme, you work alongside technology leaders from other companies facing the same questions and making the same decisions.
Between sessions, you keep building in your own company. We call this the Brainwork.
Small peer groups meet regularly to share progress, discuss challenges and help each other move forward
Your group is there between meetings too, so a question in a busy week never waits long
You leave with more than a plan. You leave with a network of peers to learn from long after the final session.
Why a room of peers
Most of what you read about AI comes from the companies that made it work.
The pilots that stalled, the vendor bets that didn’t pay off, the tools nobody used: they rarely get a case study.
That’s survivorship bias, and it makes every roadmap look easier than it is.
Here you hear both. Every company presents how far it got, wins and misfires both. Expect an honest exchange on common pitfalls, trial and error included.
Everyone tells the story of the planes that came back.
In this room, you hear about the ones that didn’t.
What you get here
Ten companies’ wins and misfires, side by side
An AI-agnostic plan you own, free to change models and vendors
Four sessions and Brainwork that keep you building
A peer group at a similar company size, between every session
What you leave with
After session 01
What your second brain should accomplish, and how you’ll know it’s working, agreed before anyone touches a keyboard.
After session 02
A clear picture of the gap between where you are and where you want to be, and a shortlist of what to tackle first.
After session 03
A prioritised plan you can present to your leadership team, showing what to build first, what it takes and what can wait.
After session 04
What you achieved and learned along the way, a clear direction for the next phase, and a network of peers to continue the journey with.
Who this is for
You’ve stopped asking “should we do this”. Now the question is what you’re actually building, and how.
01
Two seats per company
You, and the person who’ll build it with you.
02
Grouped by company size
It matters more than industry.
03
Bring a real problem
No laptop needed for session one.
04
Not a tool demo
Or a quick fix. We don’t sell either.
Sounds like you?
1 / 3
A few things work. Nobody can say yet what they add up to, or what to stop.
Or this?
2 / 3
Vision, budget and the order of work. Ideally before summer, and defensible in the board room.
Or this?
3 / 3
Someone everyone asks. When she’s on vacation, the work slows down. Her knowledge should outlive her calendar.
Not sure where you stand?
10 questions, 3 minutes. Know where you stand before you apply.

Behind the programme
Rikard brings what fifty colleagues at Devies learned this year. Including what broke.
Thousands of hours and tokens building with AI, in client projects and for ourselves, the failures included. You get that experience in the room, not a sales pitch.
Curator · Integrations
Fullstack engineer, Devies
Took an AI assistant from pilot to production in 6 weeks, and built an agent that sorts 400+ support tickets a week.
Agents wired into ERPs, CRMs and support queues. Connectors built and kept running. Every exercise comes from a live build, so you take home the patterns, the costs and the failure modes.
Tokens through our agents and integrations this year, by our own count.
