Find Your Starting Point
Not sure which workshop is right for your organisation? You're in the right place.
Binary Refinery's workshops are designed around where you are - not a one-size-fits-all process. The right starting point depends on one question: how exposed is your business model to AI-driven disruption? Answer honestly, and the path becomes clear. Based in Christchurch, we work with organisations across Canterbury and New Zealand - and the right starting point is always the same: understand where you stand before deciding where to go.
Path 1: Your business model could be disrupted by AI
Start with the AI Disruption Risk Workshop.
If your organisation operates in a market where AI is already compressing margins, lowering barriers to entry, or enabling new competitors to deliver "good enough" outcomes at radically lower cost - you need to understand your structural exposure before anything else.
This isn't about tools or adoption. It's about protecting your revenue, your margins, and your competitive position.
Industries that typically follow this path include professional services, financial advisory, legal, insurance, recruitment, media, education, and any knowledge-heavy or process-heavy business model.
Not sure if this is you? If any of these sound familiar, it probably is:
Competitors are starting to use AI to do faster, cheaper versions of what you charge for
Your pricing model is based on time, expertise, or volume - things AI affects directly
You're not sure whether AI is a threat, an opportunity, or both
Your board has started asking questions you don't have confident answers to
Step 1 - AI Disruption Risk Workshop ($4,500 + GST) A structured, board-ready stress test of your AI exposure. Understand where you're vulnerable, quantify the risk, and get a clear strategic direction.
What comes next
Depending on your AI Exposure Index result, your path forward will be either the AI Strategic Defence Programme - if exposure is high and mitigation is the priority - or, once resilience is established, moving into the Baseline and Opportunity Mapping sequence below to start building capability with confidence.
Path 1 isn't a one-off diagnostic. It's the foundation for a complete AI strategy.
Path 2: Your business model is stable - and you're ready to build
Start with the AI Strategy & Capability Baseline Workshop.
If your organisation isn't facing acute disruption risk, the priority is building a clear, confident foundation for AI adoption - understanding where you actually stand, what's worth pursuing, and what to do first.
The Baseline Workshop gives your leadership team a shared, objective view of your current AI position across six strategic dimensions. From there, most organisations move directly into the AI Opportunity Mapping Workshop, where strategy becomes a prioritised, executive-ready roadmap.
This two-workshop sequence is the most common path for organisations that want to move forward with AI confidently, without guesswork or scattered experiments.
Step 1 — AI Strategy & Capability Baseline ($3,500 + GST) Understand where you stand. Get shared language, clear priorities, and a strategic foundation your leadership team can act on immediately.
Step 2 — AI Opportunity Mapping ($5,500 + GST when completed within 3 months of the Baseline) Turn strategy into action. Identify real, high-value opportunities across your organisation and build a 12–18 month AI roadmap your team can rally behind.
