AI Literacy Bootcamp
Stop nodding through AI conversations you don't actually understand.
3 sessions · 90 minutes each
For directors, VPs, and CXOs who need to be conversant in AI — because it now sits inside every strategic decision they make.
Next cohort: Wednesdays, June 10 / 17 / 24, 2026. 7:00–8:30pm ET.
For the leader in the room who can't push back yet
You're mid-career — director, VP, CXO — and you know AI is reshaping your industry, but you're not sure what's real and what's noise. You're not sitting on a workflow you're ready to ship. You're sitting in a meeting where someone said “we should be using MCP for that” and you don't know whether to agree or push back.
- You need to be conversant in AI for the vendor pitch, the budget cycle, the board update, the org-design conversation
- You want to evaluate vendors and make build-vs-buy calls with confidence
- You want clarity from someone who builds with these tools every day — not a theorist
- You want a straight answer when someone asks “GPT-5.5 or Claude Opus 4.8?” — what's actually best right now, and why
Which cohort?
Don't know what to build yet? Want to understand the landscape and make better strategic decisions? This is the one.
Already know what you want to build? Need the frameworks and patterns to ship it? Take AI for Business Leaders instead.
What you'll leave with
The three frameworks — as an evaluation lens.
Profit Formula, AI Rules, Groundwork/Teamwork/Lifework. The language you use to read every AI conversation you'll be in for the next two years. When a vendor pitches you, you'll know which lever they're claiming to move.
A working mental model of the AI landscape.
How today's frontier models compare (the “GPT-5.5 vs Claude Opus 4.8” question everyone asks), agents, MCP, vertical vs horizontal, economics, governance. Not a textbook — a working map you can navigate from.
A 90-day personal AI strategy.
Do / Watch / Avoid / Revisit. Specific. Yours. Built in the final session, ready to act on Monday.
A governance checklist.
One page. The questions that matter for AI use in your company — and the ones that don't.
All session recordings and materials, for 90 days.
Including the AI Basics video library. Revisit when a vendor pitch lands and you want to re-check it against the frameworks.
A network of 10–15 peers.
People you can text when something confusing lands in your inbox and you're not sure what to think.
Three sessions, one month
90 minutes each, once a week.
The frameworks as an evaluation lens
The same three frameworks from the build cohort — here, the language you use to read every AI pitch.
