Developing the GenAI Capabilities to Win
Enterprise Evaluation Driven Development As-a-Service (EDD EaaS) Best Practices
Workshop
You Can’t Scale What You Can’t Trust
This workshop helps enterprise leaders establish a clear, consistent approach to evaluation-driven development as-a-service (EDD EaaS) for GenAI initiatives. Designed for decision-makers and sponsors, it clarifies how evaluation should guide development choices, risk management, and scaling decisions across the lifecycle.
To win, leaders need more than experimentation — they need a disciplined, enterprise-ready evaluation approach that builds confidence, alignment, and momentum.
The Challenge
As GenAI efforts expand, many organizations struggle to evaluate progress and readiness in a consistent, decision-ready way:
- Unclear evaluation standards – Teams lack a shared definition of what “good” looks like, leading to inconsistent quality and outcomes.
- Metrics without meaning – Measures exist, but they are not clearly tied to business objectives or leadership decisions.
- Fragmented evaluation practices – Different teams evaluate differently across stages, creating risk and rework.
- Late-stage surprises – Gaps in evaluation rigor surface only when pilots try to scale.
- Pilot fatigue – Early tests run, but few translate into trusted, repeatable enterprise capabilities.Without a clear EDD approach, organizations struggle to scale GenAI with confidence and control.
Our Solution
A fast-paced, leadership-oriented working session designed to clarify direction, build alignment, and define actionable next steps for enterprise EDD adoption.
- 1:1 Discovery Sessions – Short, executive-level conversations to understand current evaluation practices, priorities, and constraints.
- Evaluation-Driven Development Scan or Assessment – A lightweight scan to baseline how evaluation is currently defined, applied, and governed across GenAI efforts.
- Executive Briefs – Decision-oriented briefs outlining leading EDD EaaS practices, key trade-offs, and enterprise implications.
- 2-Hour Group Working Session – A facilitated leadership session to align on evaluation principles, priorities, and where rigor matters most across development stages.
- Recommended Next Steps – Clear, prioritized actions to pilot, refine, and institutionalize EDD EaaS capabilities. Moving leaders from ad-hoc evaluation toward a shared, enterprise-ready approach with clear next steps.
Area of Focus
- Defining EDD and its role in GenAI development
- Highlighting key metrics and evaluation objectives
- Introducing tools and architecture needed for EDD
- Scoping evaluation types across development stages
