Cohort 1

Your team has AI tools, but you're not close to AI-native.Most EPD orgs buy Claude Code, help their PMs vibe code a bit, and call it progress. But the gap between "some are using AI a lot" and "AI is changing how our entire EPD org operates" is huge, and almost nobody is closing it.The problem isn't access to tools, it's that nobody invested in the culture change, technical readiness, or operations redesign required to turn individual adoption into organizational leverage. 🤖 Your codebase isn't ready for agents. 🎁 Your PMs create prototypes and expect them to get built. 🤷‍♀️ Your designers don't know how to get their fixes to production. And you're supposed to have the plan. This 2-day intensive will help you build it.Taught by Claire Vo and Zach Davis — operators who've done this firsthand, not consultants who've read about it. Claire has interviewed 50+ EPD leaders on How I AI and has more first-person data on AI adoption than anyone in the industry. Zach led AI transformation across 100+ engineers and built the systems that got an entire org actively using AI tools weekly.You'll leave with specific tactics, real examples, and a peer group for accountability + inspiration.

Learn how to go from AI tool adoption to team impact and product velocity.

Know where AI creates real leverage, and where it doesn't 

Build a culture that actually adopts

Make your codebase work with agents

Redesign your operating model for the full EPD org

Lead the hard conversations

VPs of Engineering who need a real answer when their board asks "what's our AI strategy?" — not just "we bought licenses."

CTOs and CPOs who need to lead AI adoption across engineering, product, and design — not just sponsor an engineering tool rollout.

Staff and Principal Engineers tapped to "figure out AI" for the org, who need both the playbook and the leverage to make it work.

Build credibility, influence without authority, and land strategic impact.

It's 2026 and the engineering manager role just changed. Orgs are flatter. Promotions are harder. You're expected to stay hands-on technically and lead bigger teams with fewer resources.Most managers respond by working harder. The ones who get promoted work differently, they have a system.Right now:<ul><li>You're firefighting instead of leading</li><li>1:1s waste time instead of driving results</li><li>Delegation leads to failures and outages</li><li>Other managers get the rare promotions</li></ul>Instead, imagine you had:<ul><li>Clarity on what to work on every single week</li><li>A team that runs smoothly without constant oversight</li><li>Delegation that frees your time and grows your people</li><li>A real promotion path built on visible, compounding impact</li></ul>How? Using a proven Management OS used by managers at Big Tech and fast-growing startups. An AI-powered, but human first system, ready for 2026 and beyond.Hi 👋, I'm Gilad. I led teams at Meta and Amazon. After coaching hundreds of managers, I built this system. Together with Chen, I can't wait to help you accelerate your career. You'll learn in a small, intimate cohort, with personalized feedback.
