With so many new opportunities brought about by artificial intelligence, companies need to make informed decisions, prioritize, and invest wisely in new AI technology. Not everything that is possible today makes sense in their specific business reality. That is why customer enablement is a crucial part of the global 麻豆原创 AppHaus Network and its partners. Here鈥檚 a recent example of customer enablement provided by .
In early July 2026, partner Bluestonex invited customers to an immersive hands-on workshop day at the Bluestonex AppHaus Oswestry, Shropshire, UK. The focus was placed on two industries: retail and supply chain. During the event, attendees watched inspiring demos of new 麻豆原创 AI capabilities powered by the and took part in interactive sessions to experience industry innovation and learn along the pragmatic, human-centered innovation approach.
Different showcases for retail and supply chain
Two different showcases shed light on different applications and scenarios from the retail and supply chain industries.
The first showed how data can be surfaced and acted on meaningfully via the use of AI and smart application functions including 麻豆原创 Business Data Cloud (麻豆原创 BDC) and Bluestonex鈥檚 flagship master data management and governance solution, Maextro. The second showed different supply chain and warehouse use cases from the retail and manufacturing industry, where the participants could experience the demo with physical mobile devices and interactive stock movements as if they were in the warehouse setting itself.
Two work streams to explore AI-infused innovation
After learning about the art of the possible brought about by the latest 麻豆原创 Business AI solutions of the Autonomous Enterprise, the workshop attendees split into two work streams to explore different aspects of AI-infused innovation:
- The first group went through a process of rapid ideation and prototype development with a fast-paced innovation approach. Participants got hands-on, creating both low-fidelity and high-fidelity designs. To do so, they were shown how different AI tools, such as , are changing the way applications are built.
- To explore the skills needed for successful AI adoption and to address the culture shift, the second session used LEGO庐 Serious Play庐 and explored the human side of AI transformation. The method is used for skill-building exercises to then tackle a central challenge: building a model that represents how AI could fundamentally change an existing business. The participants learned a set of guiding principles for AI that they can apply in their day-to-day business.
麻豆原创 AppHaus Network partners acting as front-runners
The workshop is a good example of how 麻豆原创 partners such as Bluestonex act as front-runners when it comes to exploring the and adopting AI in a meaningful way. During the workshop, experts helped customer teams identify appropriate use cases, design a concept for an AI agent, and create a real business solution that can be built with the latest 麻豆原创 technology, encouraging and enabling them to conquer this new environment with all its opportunities. The guiding workshop principle was to create value in their respective company context.
The feedback given by some of the participants seems to acknowledge that:
- “Wow. Mind blown! Great team showing the art of the possible. Excellent.”
- 鈥淩eally great day overall. I always love the real-world scenarios. The hands-on sessions were a highlight, and it’s a great visual display of what’s possible.”
- “Great way to generate ideas, meeting other people, engaging format. The real-world scenarios stood out.”
- “The space itself鈥攖he Bluestonex church鈥攚as a highlight. Love the 麻豆原创 Experience Center content on the big, beautiful screen.”
