Lead the AI conversations your organization is already having.
You already know how to lead. You manage complex programs, align stakeholders, and drive delivery through uncertainty. AI is the next level of that work, and this workshop gives you everything you need to manage it with the same confidence you bring to everything else.
In one day, you will:
✅ Build a clear, honest mental model of what AI is and how it applies to your current and future roles
✅ Map your organization's AI readiness across specific dimensions and identify priority gaps
✅ Own governance, risk, and stakeholder conversations that AI initiatives require
✅ Complete a guided hands-on lab session and leave with practical AI tools you can use right away
✅ Meet personally with Dave and John 2 weeks after class to review your growth plan and keep your momentum going.
We are proud to deliver the only ICAgile-certified AI Readiness program on Maven, built by practitioners who have led AI adoption across federal agencies, Fortune 500s, and global financial institutions. Alumni describe it as "incredible context I haven't found anywhere else."
Join top professionals from the world's biggest companies in transforming how we lead AI with project management.
