Step-by-Step Guide

1

Set the Stage for Success

Provide company-wide access to a curated set of AI tools like Cursor, Make, and Webflow. Create different project tracks for various departments (e.g., Product, Design, Data Science) and set up a dedicated Slack channel with engineers to provide real-time support.

2

Make It Fun and Engaging

Structure the day to be motivating. Start with a simple warm-up assignment to build confidence. Create a judging panel with executive leadership and offer prizes to add an element of friendly competition and recognize creative work.

3

Measure the Impact Quantitatively

Track tool adoption metrics before and after the Builder Day to prove its value. Use a dashboarding tool like Hex to visualize the change in usage, demonstrating a clear ROI and showing that the adoption is sustained over the following weeks.

4

Gather Qualitative Feedback

Conduct a post-event survey to capture employee sentiment. Use quotes and feedback that describe the event as 'fun, empowering, motivating, and eye-opening' to build momentum for future AI initiatives.
