Building a second brain for your organisation

Session 01

Vision

Wednesday, January 20 · 16:00–21:00 incl. dinner

The programme opens with the big picture: what a second brain could mean for your company.

Guest speaker

Christian Hendriksen

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, we set the vision and lay the conceptual groundwork. What should it accomplish, and how will you know it's working? We agree on KPIs and success criteria before anyone touches a keyboard.

Session 02

Current state

Wednesday, February 17 · 16:00–21:00 incl. dinner

With the vision in place, we turn to the starting point: where does your company actually stand today?

Building on the Brainwork from the first session, we map your current situation and the organisational obstacles in the way. What fundamentals are already in place, such as data, tools, processes and ownership? What still needs to be arranged for the second brain to succeed? Working in your peer group, you compare notes with companies at different stages and see your own situation from a new angle.

Expect an honest exchange on common pitfalls, and the trial and error. You leave with a clear picture of the gap between where you are and where you want to be, and a shortlist of what to tackle first.

Session 03

Roadmap

Wednesday, March 17 · 16:00–21:00 incl. dinner

With a clear vision and an honest view of where you stand, the next question is: how do you get there?

Together, we build the roadmap: the concrete steps and infrastructure needed to close the gap between today and your vision. What does it actually take, technically and organisationally, to get the rest of your company on board? We look at priorities, sequencing and resources, so you know what to build first and what can wait.

In your peer group, you test your roadmap against how other companies are approaching the same challenge. You leave with a plan you can present to your leadership team, and a clear set of next steps for the Brainwork ahead.

Session 04

Outcome

Wednesday, May 12 · 16:00–21:00 incl. dinner

The final session brings everything together: what did we actually build?

Every participating company presents how far they got and what they learned along the way, 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.

We close by setting new targets for where your second brain goes next. You leave with a clear view of what you have achieved, a direction for the next phase, and a network of peers to continue the journey with.
