The programme

Four sessions. A result from each.

Session 01 · 3 hours

Age of Speed

Key outcome

An AI-first view of how faster sensing, decisions and action could change competitive advantage, with assumptions the leadership team needs to test.

What we will do

  • Start with the intended outcome, the four-session agenda and how AI will help the group explore and evaluate options.
  • Use an organisation-approved personal AI in a guided thought experiment: what could an AI-first competitor do that takes your company too long today?
  • Compare the rival's possible advantages with current practice and mark the questions that need evidence.
Session 02 · 3 hours

Build your AI-enabled decision desk

Key outcome

A working decision desk that keeps your key information current, shows where attention is needed and helps you examine options.

What we will do

  • Adapt a decision-desk scaffold to the questions, measures and signals that matter in your function.
  • Connect the business information agreed for the workshop, test automatic updates and use AI to highlight changes and options worth examining.
  • Set the points where a person checks the evidence, makes a decision or approves an action.

The organisation agrees which tools and information participants may use before the programme. Leaders retain decisions and approvals.

Session 03 · 3 hours

Plan up to three AI-first interventions

Key outcome

An AI-assisted action plan and internal presentation for up to three interventions where AI-first speed could create significant competitive advantage, with measures for each.

What we will do

  • Use AI to investigate where speed matters most, question the evidence and compare possible interventions.
  • Choose up to three interventions and define the intended advantage, measure, owner, dependencies and first action for each.
  • Build a presentation you can share inside your company to explain what will change and how progress will be judged.

This session plans the wider interventions; putting those changes into operation follows your organisation's approvals.

Session 04 · 3 hours

Present the AI-first plan

Key outcome

Every leader presents up to three AI-first interventions, the expected competitive advantage, measures and the first actions in their plan.

What we will do

  • Present the plan for the function you lead and how it contributes to an AI-first company.
  • Test the interventions and measures with peers, then sharpen the presentation for internal use.
  • Record the first action, owner, date and support needed for each intervention.

How it runs

Four weeks of practical business AI.

One hands-on, three-hour session each week for four weeks, in person by design or virtually on request. Before the programme, we agree which tools and business information participants can use, or which real process they will work on. Production use follows your organisation's approvals.

Each cohort has 10–18 participants. Session dates and any organisational data access are agreed before delivery.

By Operators & Founders, not Techies.

Business leaders sharing how to put AI to work for faster decisions and execution, grounded in experience building and running companies.
