Empowering Intrapreneurs:

Building AI-driven innovation in family businesses

with Dr. Tony Feghali



Proposed workshop

Introduction

Dr. Tony Feghali proposes an outline for a workshop designed to empower intrapreneurs within family businesses, focusing on the young professional family members poised to drive internal innovation. With over 35 years of expertise in education, technology, and business coaching, Tony offers a unique approach to transforming internal potential into tangible growth. Intrapreneurs—those who apply entrepreneurial thinking within existing businesses—are key to fostering innovation while maintaining the family business’s legacy.

About the workshop

The premise of this workshop is that intrapreneurs—those who apply entrepreneurial thinking within established businesses—play a pivotal role in driving digital transformation and fostering innovation. Through hands-on activities and reflective exercises, participants will be guided in developing their own GPT-powered AI assistant, tailored specifically to meet the needs of their business.

By the end of the workshop, you’ll have a clear understanding of how AI can enhance your business processes and innovation strategies, along with actionable insights to leverage this technology for both personal and business growth.

This workshop is for
you because:

  • You’re an intrapreneur in a family business, ready to lead innovation from within while honoring the legacy that built the foundation of the enterprise.

  • You're committed to nurturing innovation within your family business by building an AI assistant that reflects your business's unique values and vision.

  • You want to streamline internal operations that align with everyday processes and boost efficiency by reducing manual tasks, allowing intrapreneurs to focus on driving new initiatives.

  • You want consistency and clarity in business practices by integrating your family business’s Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) into the AI to ensure consistent operations and clear guidance for every decision.

  • You're driven to lead, innovate, and equip the current and next generation of leaders with cutting-edge AI tools that empower them to solve challenges and drive sustainable growth.

  • In this module, participants will be introduced to the concept of intrapreneurship within family businesses. The focus will be on how young leaders can innovate from within, using AI and technology as powerful tools to enhance business processes while maintaining the core values of the family legacy.

  • This module will cover the practical steps of configuring the GPT, including how to feed it relevant data and teach it to respond according to the school’s SOPs. The participants will learn how to input department-specific information to ensure the GPT is equipped to handle everyday administrative tasks.

  • Participants will get hands-on experience in building and customizing their GPT assistant. Guided through the technical aspects of setting up and training the assistant, they will tailor it to meet the unique operational needs of their family business.

  • In the final module, participants will focus on integrating the GPT assistant into their business workflows and exploring its long-term benefits. The module will cover how to ensure smooth adoption across departments, maintain innovation momentum, and continuously improve the assistant for future needs.
