Project management isn't a role. It's the skill that separates leaders who ship from leaders who talk. In the AI era, that gap will define careers.
📊 AI adoption jumped 13% in 2025 — but worker confidence in using it dropped 18% (ManpowerGroup, 14,000 workers across 19 countries). Workers are being handed tools without training. This course is the training.
✨ Direct access to 12 live sessions with Justin Bateh, PhD, and a faculty of practitioners from NASA, DoD, Fortune 500s, and Sequoia-backed startups.
🔧 The User → Builder → Designer → Operator path — a practical AI framework built specifically for project leadership.
✨ Live AI Build Labs — watch working project leaders build real no-code AI assistants and workflows you can copy.
✨ Tactical Talks — weekly sessions with leaders running real AI projects at some of the world's top companies.
⏱️ Flexible by design — 4 weeks, ~5 hrs/week. Async lessons on your schedule. Every live session recorded. Built for working professionals, not students.

Asynchronous Content
1 hr / week
This isn't just a watch-and-forget course. Work through on-demand lessons and demos, complete practice assignments with feedback, and tackle weekly projects and hands-on labs that let you apply everything in real time. Do as much or as little as your time and interest allow, and leave with transferable skills you can actually use.
Field Notes
1 hr / week
Each week, you'll complete Field Notes — a 15 minute guided self-assessment where you document key takeaways, reflect on what clicked, & capture how you'll apply each lesson to your work. It's how you lock in the learning, track your growth week over week, and walk away with a personalized playbook you can take with you long after the course ends.
