Build your AI-native team in 4 weeks: The Manager's Playbook
Marta Strykowska
AI Practitioner & Trainer
Build your AI adoption roadmap and lead through change. With AI.
Mid-level and senior managers at established companies are being told to "adopt AI" but have no playbook for actually building with AI as a team. This course teaches team leads and managers about the AI foundations, processes, skills, and team culture they need to make confident decisions and working with their teams in a new, AI-augmented way.
How do I set my people up for success and build AI-native teams in a world where AI keeps changing?
You'll learn agentic AI by building with AI agents yourself, experiencing firsthand this new way of working so you can apply it to your own teams, even if you've never worked with tech before.
Unlike AI literacy programs or strategy workshops, I offer a pragmatic approach, where students leave with real artifacts: working prototypes, custom agents, mapped workflows, and a 30-day implementation plan. We’ll make sure you develop the foundational skills (good product thinking principles and AI fluency framework) that remain relevant as AI evolves.
It's urgent now because leaders are being measured on AI ROI in 2026. "We have company ChatGPT licenses" isn't going to cut it.
What you’ll learn
Every participant walks away with understanding, experience and a concrete roadmap they can execute the Monday after the course ends.

We're going through a lasting framework for working with AI systems
Participants have a shared vocabulary to use with their teams and they start operating from a working mental model.

Participants get hands-on experience of what's now possible, so they understand the opportunity they're sitting on inside their own teams.
