Real problem
On 7–8 August 2026, 25 managers and key staff from nine functions at Weigao Orthopaedics joined the workshop. Management, R&D, production, operations, government affairs, finance, strategy, HR and marketing explored where AI could become part of real business workflows.
Experiment
Using anonymised data and cases throughout, the workshop combined hackathon creation, presentations and review. Four areas emerged: production and supply chains; policy access and market intelligence; expenses and decision analysis; collaboration and management automation. The prototypes could be tracked, reviewed and assessed further.
Stage outcomes
Participants produced 39 works; 21 entered the team or company business-results pool and eight were prioritised for continued development. The report recommends piloting two or three high-value scenarios next. Workshop results are a stage outcome and do not establish production deployment.
