How to pick winners early

You Don’t Need to Master Every Tool. You Need to Master the Leadership That Makes Any Tool Deliver Results. New models are dropping weekly, the tech is racing ahead, but the business results aren’t catching up. So if it’s not the tech, what’s really slowing you down? ↳It’s misaligned expectations.↳Shifting direction.↳Burned-out builders.↳Poor decisions being made in the name of urgency. Because, if everyone is a priority, nothing is. Do any of these sound like you? You're leading an AI initiative (maybe as a business, product, or strategy head) and you find yourself wondering: 1) How do I even evaluate whether this AI use case is worth doing?2) Everyone's excited about agents and RAG, but which one fits my workflow?3) My team keeps asking for more budget. How do I make tradeoff decisions across cost, latency, and ROI?4) My execs want results fast, but my builders are blocked. How do I create alignment?5) We’ve launched a few pilots, but nothing’s scaling. Are we missing an operating system? If you’ve asked yourself even one of these questions, then this Agentic AI Business Leadership OS is built for you. Because, as a business leader, you don't need to code, but you do need to lead and deliver results Join the Agentic AI Business Leadership OS by enrolling for this course now!!! 💬 Why I Built This? From my experience leading AI transformations, working closely with leaders across AI startups, enterprise innovation teams, and product orgs, I kept seeing the same pattern: * Smart teams blocked by vague direction* Leaders are under pressure, reacting to hype* Execution breaking down not from tech but from leadership drift This course is the operating system I wish every decision-maker had when they were told to “just bring AI into the business” Because tools change weekly.But execution still runs on systems, tradeoffs, and trust. Why learn from me? If you’ve ever asked, “Why isn’t this AI project moving?” I’ve been the one senior leaders called to diagnose the blockers and rebuild momentum. I’ve worked inside high-stakes C-suites and late-night product reviews, translating strategy into execution on AI projects that couldn’t afford to fail. As an advisor to enterprises, innovation teams, and AI startups, I’ve seen: ↳Roadmaps that excite the board but confuse the team↳Tech that demos well but never ships↳Strategy decks with no system for decisions So I built this course to give leaders not more tools but the operating system to make the right calls. Who This Course Is For? ✅ You’re a business, product, or transformation leader tasked with AI strategy✅ You’ve got domain expertise (telecom, cyber, supply chain or even web3) but feel unsure how to layer in AI✅ You’re responsible for execution, but overwhelmed by vendors, jargon, and pilot fatigue✅ You care more about credible delivery than playing with shiny tools You don’t necessarily need to know the math.But you do need to own the decisions that get AI shipped. What makes this course unique? ✅ It includes real-world case breakdowns, red flag decoders, and tradeoff playbooks✅ It features insights from applied AI leaders and operators in the trenches✅ It is designed for deep transformation (and not vague trends or AI 101s) It’s the OS for how you lead in the age of agentic AI. It didn’t exist, so I built it. 🚀 ❌ Who This Course Is NOT For: 1) Engineers looking for deep technical model training2) AI veterans who've already scaled successful AI-native orgs (though you may benefit from the OS frameworks inside)3) Leaders who want a casual AI overview without execution If you're building in an AI-first world, the pressure to “get it right” is only growing. This course helps you make better decisions, faster. 🚀 Apply now to join the upcoming cohort

Cohort 1

Cohort 2

Clients want coaching, your team wants direction, and leadership wants you to 10× your own output with AI - all while the AI tech stack changes every week. When you're not-technical and don't have the time to become technical, this becomes an insane challenge to overcome.&nbsp; It's also the challenge that I had to solve for myself. At Accenture, I went from being a non-technical leader to securing $2M in funding for AI initiatives. Then I helped build the AI strategies that drove productivity improvements for over 14,000 consultants. Today, I advise both tech startups and Fortune 1000 companies on becoming AI-native organizations. What you need is the time and space to learn by doing. I'll show you how to pick the right problems to solve with AI (and that will get you kudos from your bosses) and we will collectively build AI solutions together, live. Plus you'll walk away with frameworks and cheat sheets so that you can do it again and again -- and teach your team how to do it. Walk away not just with a working AI experiment, but with the skills and frameworks to become the go-to AI leader in your org. This cohort isn’t “AI 101.” It’s applied enterprise-grade learning for leaders who want to be ahead of the curve, not catching up to it. Unlike broad "AI for Leaders" courses that just cover definitions, this live lunch-time cohort is hands-on -- you'll pick your top use cases, calculate ROI, decide on the tech stack, and try your hand at automating some of your own workload. WHAT TO EXPECT:Format: four live, lunch-time sessions across two weeksSupport: two optional interactive office hours for hands-on helpPrep: bite-sized, zero fluff—show up, apply, move onOutcome: identify high-impact AI use-cases, craft an executable plan, and become the AI-native voice in your org (or for your clients) WHAT WE'LL COVER:- Pinpoint problems that are truly AI-solvable (we’ll choose them live)- Scope projects that become career-making case studies, not budget sinkholes- Speak “just-technical-enough” about GenAI, agents, ML, and automation- Make smart Build • Buy • Vibe-Code calls to save cash and time- See case studies from companies seeing 70%-300% improvements in productivity, marketing, engineering, and product management- Select platforms for low-code / no-code AI automations- Set realistic expectations with leadership and clients- Overcome resistance and build cross-functional buy-in- Avoid the costliest implementation traps- Keep your strategy relevant as the tech leaps forward YOUR REPEATABLE AI PLAYBOOKGain proven frameworks, vendor matrices, and checklists to de-risk projects and win buy-in:1. Build, Buy, Vibe-Code AI Solution Decision Matrix2. AI Vendor Assessment Checklist3. “Why We’re Going AI-Native” Narrative Template4. 7-Point Checklist to Avoid AI Project Failure5. Handpicked list of my personal AI tech stack (the coolest AI products in the market right now) to explore The goal isn't to make you a technical expert - it's to give you the confidence to lead AI initiatives successfully. WHO WILL BENEFIT MOST FROM THIS COURSE: - You're responsible for AI projects but don't have a technical background- You need to make strategic decisions about AI investment- You're leading consulting engagements and clients want coaching on AI- You're bridging the gap between technical teams and business objectives- You want to position yourself as a forward-thinking leader WHO THIS IS NOT FOR: - Developers or AI engineers seeking technical implementation skills- Those expecting to become AI experts overnight- People looking for general "this is what ChatGPT is" courses If you're still not convinced, consider this: The price of this course is a fraction of the cost of a single failed AI project (so you should ask if your company will pay for this). And even if they won't, this is a small investment towards making your career future-proof.

As a data leader, do you catch yourself asking questions like…- How do I get execs to actually act on my insights instead of tuning out?- How do I influence peers in Product, Ops, and Marketing when they don’t report to me?- What do I do when AI creates hype, fear, or resistance in my team?- How can I build credibility around AI adoption without just demoing tools?- How do I stop my team from being seen as a “ticket shop” and instead as a trusted partner?
