A founding team's formative moments shape your culture's vision and values. If you didn't do it then, Do it now.

Defining your manifesto for growth

Teammates are looking for signals by what you do with AI, not what you say. Build a power-move cultural playbook to win.

Power moves that model through actions not words

When the chips are down, culture is the difference between life or death. Learn how built-in autonomy & purpose wins.

Building antifragility into your team to survive low points

Managers & senior ICs use AI daily, yet it hasn't made them better leaders.

The news about the economy is depressing. Layoffs are a constant threat, even with strong performance reviews. Hybrid human agent teams are now a thing. The job market is frozen.How do you operate like a leader before someone gives you the title? Output might help you keep your job. Preparation gets you promoted. At risk if unsolved: the next promotion. The reliable operator who is perpetually “not quite ready” every cycle — while a systematically prepared peer becomes the obvious choice.Already tried: prompt collections, AI-tips newsletters, tool subscriptions. Didn't work because no recurring trigger. The habit never survived the 3rd Monday.Managers &amp; senior ICs who already use AI daily are discovering it hasn't changed how they lead: AI usage is now table stakes, so the career edge has moved to whoever runs a system.In one hands-on half-day, you'll build a personal AI Leadership Operating System on your real week — a context file, three engines, and a 30-minute Monday ritual that leaves as a scheduled habit, not notes. Unlike videos or prompt libraries, you get live feedback on your real material until it works — the ritual is on your calendar before the room closes.

How to use Claude, ChatGPT, etc. to create your own complete Personal Leadership Operating System on your own real work week in real time.  

•	Build and deploy a one-page personal context file 

•	Run the 1:1 Prep Engine on your own real calendar 

•	Define your 3 standing risk categories 

•	Extract every commitment from a week of meeting notes — owed and owed-to

Leave with 6 actionable artifacts that turn the lesson into a  weekly habit, 

We will be using a chatbot to build your personal operating system in real time.

Scaling ICs: You want to start managing teams of agents and literally 10X your impact.

Managers and Execs: You know there's a better way than back-to-back meetings everyday. To scale your impact, you must scale yourself first.

Founders: Complexity and pace are increasing, and you need a better system to keep up and stay focused.

See your venture clearly, find what is holding it back, and choose the next move—so AI creates leverage instead of more work.

AI gives founders two possible futures. It can multiply company capacity—or multiply the coordination work returning to the founder. If you're building an AI-native or agentic company, adding agents is the easy part. The harder problem is turning their output into leverage without becoming the integration layer for every handoff, decision, and next move. The missing layer is the system the agents operate inside. That is Systems Intelligence.This four-week working lab turns Systems Intelligence into founder practice. Across four focused 90-minute sessions, you will map your venture, identify the active constraint beneath the surrounding noise, commit one bounded next move, and complete a founder-directed operating cycle.Sysdom.ai is the included, supported working environment. It organizes venture context across the Product/Service, Customer, Cash, and Skills Engines, preserves evidence, and records the chosen move. You remain responsible for direction, consequential decisions, and approval boundaries.Leave with a clearer venture state, explicit decision boundaries, one completed cycle, and a repeatable way to increase agent capacity without increasing founder coordination.

AI amplifies everything. Including what’s broken.

See your venture as one system

Build an evidence-backed venture map

Find the constraint behind the noise

Choose one bounded next move

Set founder and agent decision boundaries

Start a guided operating cycle

Bring research, a prototype, operating signals, prior decisions, or a serious plan. No website, revenue, or technical setup required.

Bring one real venture—and some evidence

Founders building a venture who feel complexity outpacing their mental model. You have pieces but no unified operating system.

Founders who hit their first real bottleneck and realized working harder isn't solving the structural problem underneath.

Founders whose AI tools and agents produce more output while every important decision and handoff still routes back through them.

You will walk into any AI conversation able to read the proposal, ask the questions that matter, and shape the decision in your own voice.

A vendor is presenting, a technical colleague is nodding, and someone says the word agentic. You have twenty years of experience in your field, and right now none of it feels like it counts.What you have to contribute still counts. You are not behind. Yours is the missing voice in the room. This course is for the leader who has to live with AI decisions made by other people. It teaches you to spot weak AI thinking before it becomes weak AI rollout, ask the questions others miss, and shape the decision from your own seat without being labelled obstructionist.Over eight weeks you build a framework for thinking, practise it on a realistic case study, then apply it to a real AI proposal in your own organisation. You leave able to shape the decisions you used to absorb.

The non-technical leader is the missing voice in nearly every AI decision.

Speak the language of AI without bluffing

Read any AI proposal and form a defensible position

Choose the right intervention with the Five Routes framework
