Developing the GenAI Capabilities to Win
GenAI Center of Enablement (CoE) Best Practices
Workshop
Scale Fails Without Enablement
This executive-focused workshop helps leaders design and align on a GenAI Center of Enablement that accelerates value creation while managing risk and complexity. It provides a practical, business-first view of how to define purpose, governance, services, and success measures for a GenAI CoE that can scale with confidence.
To win with GenAI, leaders need more than isolated
initiatives—they need a clearly defined CoE that aligns ownership, enables the business, and evolves with strategy.
The Challenge
Many organizations recognize the need for a GenAI CoE but struggle to translate intent into a clear, operating reality.
- Unclear purpose and mandate – The CoE exists in name, but leaders lack alignment on why it exists and what success looks like.
- Fragmented ownership and decision-making – Responsibilities are spread across functions, slowing progress and creating friction.
- Undefined service model – The business does not know what support the CoE provides or how to engage it.
- Limited value visibility – Leaders struggle to communicate impact, making the CoE vulnerable to shifting priorities.
- No clear evolution path – The CoE is designed for today’s needs, with no plan to scale or adapt over time.
Establishing a GenAI CoE requires intentional design, clear ownership, and a shared understanding of how it creates and sustains value.
Our Solution
A fast-paced, leadership-oriented working session designed to clarify direction, build alignment, and define actionable next steps for establishing a GenAI CoE.
- 1:1 Discovery Sessions – Short, executive-level conversations to ground the workshop in current priorities, constraints, and leadership expectations for a GenAI CoE.

- Executive Briefs – Decision-oriented briefs outlining proven CoE patterns, governance considerations, and common pitfalls tailored to the organization’s context.
- 2-Hour Group Working Session – A facilitated leadership session to align on the CoE’s role, ownership model, core services, and success measures.
