What each participant takes forward
Build AI literacy, choose useful applications, and practice the skills to save time and money in each participant's role. Learn to provide context, direct AI, and check its work.
Set a baseline, track time and costs, and check that quality holds up. Account for the investment so participants can explain the return and choose what to improve next.
Equip participants to champion AI with their colleagues, share what works, and keep finding opportunities. Build the confidence and judgment to adapt as tools and business needs change.
Interactive, two-hour sessions that build AI literacy and practical skills around participants' roles. Recordings are available.
A practical method for turning AI opportunities into repeatable workflows your team can use.
Reusable specifications and an examples library to help your team define and build useful AI tools.
Program certification to recognize your team's AI leadership development.
Weekly AI Mastermind sessions and asynchronous help throughout AI 90 to apply skills, measure results, and sustain adoption.
Continued access to updates as the methodology evolves, at no additional cost.
Training shaped around your industry, participants' roles, and business priorities, for SMBs and enterprise teams.
Choose the delivery format that works for your leadership team.
Practice with real workflows and tools during the sessions. Participants help shape the instructions, review outputs, and learn to make improvements.
Review participant progress, measured business value, and next steps for continued AI adoption with your executive team.
The AI SOS implementation playbook gives your team a repeatable method for moving from an opportunity to a useful workflow. Skill Specs document what a tool should do, the context it needs, and how to judge its output. Templates and examples make that work easier to repeat.
Powered by Longhand. Longhand is our platform for building and running AI workflows. Participants learn the instructions, context, and review steps behind the examples so they can apply the approach to approved tools at work.
The methodology builds on Agent Skills, the open standard originally developed by Anthropic, so leaders can understand how reusable instructions and context support practical AI work.
Understand AI capabilities and limits. Practice giving clear instructions and context, checking outputs, and creating reusable templates for your role.
Work with approved company data sources, practice reporting workflows, and turn unstructured information into useful insights.
Build custom tools and prototypes around business needs, review their outputs, and test ideas before further engineering investment.
Establish a baseline, measure time and cost changes, account for the investment, and communicate results. Help colleagues adopt useful workflows and keep improving them.
How delivery works
Agree on participant priorities and useful applications. Record the time, costs, and quality of the work today so each participant has a starting point for measuring progress.
8 live hours in two-hour sessions, delivered on-site or virtually. Participants practice on their own work, shape tools built live, and review the results. Recordings support practice between sessions.
Throughout the 90 days, use weekly AI Mastermind and asynchronous support to improve workflows and track value. The executive debrief sets next steps for continued adoption and ROI.
Bring your people with you
The Two Yeses framework connects the people who use AI with the people responsible for its safe use. Participants practice the conversations and review steps that help useful workflows earn trust.
The People Yes: Help the people whose work changes understand the value, try the workflow, and shape how it is used.
The Guardian Yes: Work with IT and security to understand approved tools, data permissions, human review, and the checks needed before use.
We address anxiety about job displacement, feeling left behind, and being uncomfortable asking basic AI questions. Leaders practice communication that builds trust, handles resistance at different levels, and develops AI champions within teams.
The ADKAR framework gives those conversations a structure: awareness, desire, knowledge, ability, and reinforcement. Your team connects technical literacy with the support people need to change how they work.

Learn the core principles of building effective AI workflows
See what you'll learn in our comprehensive AI training program
Build your business case
Each participant starts with a real task and a baseline for time, cost, and quality. Track what changes, account for program and running costs, and review whether colleagues keep using the workflow. Use the evidence to demonstrate AI ROI and choose the next improvement.
Illustrative scenario · One participant
$15,600 in annual time capacity
If one participant saves five hours every week, this is the value of that time at the assumed hourly rate, before program, tool, and implementation costs. It is not a guaranteed result, cash saving, or ROI calculation.

Leadership teams and domain experts at SMBs and enterprises who want to use AI in their own work and champion adoption across the business. AI 90 covers up to 30 leaders. Each participant brings relevant work and practices the skills needed to make useful AI decisions, improve workflows, and measure results.
AI 90 builds the AI literacy and practical skills to identify useful applications, provide context and instructions, review outputs, and improve real workflows. Participants learn to save time and money, measure the return, and keep championing adoption and achieving AI ROI after the program. The work is tailored to their roles and business priorities.
No. You bring expertise in your work. We explain AI capabilities, limits, and methods in business terms, then practice directing AI, using approved company information, checking outputs, and improving workflows.
AI 90 is a 90-day program with eight hours of live training in two-hour sessions, recordings, and an executive debrief. Participants apply the skills to relevant work between sessions. Weekly AI Mastermind sessions and asynchronous help support that practice throughout the 90 days. We confirm the schedule in your team proposal.
Yes. AI 90 is shaped around your industry, participants' roles, and business priorities. We agree on useful applications and the on-site or virtual format together. Custom tools and real workflows built during sessions help participants practice, review results, and learn to make improvements.
Sessions are conducted under NDA. Bring your confidentiality requirements and company policies into the planning conversation. Participants should use only tools, examples, and data they are authorized to share. We teach them to identify review points and work with IT and security on the approvals their workflows need.
Start with a baseline for time, cost, and output quality on a real task. Compare results after applying AI, account for program, tool, and implementation costs, and distinguish reclaimed time from cash savings. Participants use that evidence to improve the workflow, communicate value, and choose the next opportunity. Results depend on the work selected and how the skills are applied.
Bring that history into the planning conversation. We review unclear use cases, tool or data constraints, confidence, and adoption challenges. Participants practice both the AI skills and the communication needed to help people use a workflow and work within their organization's policies.
Participants leave with methods for applying AI, measuring value, and helping others adopt it. The AI SOS implementation playbook, Skill Spec templates and examples, AI Leader certification, and lifetime methodology updates support continued practice. The executive debrief identifies next steps for keeping adoption and ROI moving.
AI 90 is $50,000 for up to 30 leaders. The 90-day program includes eight live training hours, the playbook and templates, AI Leader certification, weekly AI Mastermind and asynchronous implementation support, lifetime methodology updates, industry customization, on-site or virtual delivery, custom AI tools built live, and an executive debrief. We confirm scope, format, and timing in your team proposal.
