Inside the project

Focus

How can AI become an organizational capability without diminishing human creativity?

The project for İstanbul Bilgi University administrative staff focused on connecting training needs with technology. The organization wanted not just to purchase new tools, but to embed them in the way its teams work.

The account of this project was structured around the organization's own definition of its needs.

Technology becomes useful not when its use cases are listed, but when teams test it against their own problems.

Scope

We worked with the institution’s administrative staff on digitalization in higher education. The training addressed technology use in a higher education setting.

Implementation

WHAT ROLE DID GENAI PLAY IN THIS PROJECT?

GenAI was positioned not as a tool that produces ready-made answers, but as a working partner that helps teams address their own problems through stronger questions. Every example was drawn from a real business context.

What brings technology into an organization is not the tool itself, but teams’ ability to engage with it through their own problems.

The journey we designed
