When I was Microsoft's U.S. AI Strategy Lead, it was my job to help F500 C-suite leaders create a strategy for how they would use AI. I quickly learned that there were four major gaps in most academic and on-the-job training:1. No resources for creating a vision2. The process for strategy was too convoluted3. Systems thinking was missing or too impractical4. Storytelling was seen as a nice-to-haveBeing a former internationally competitive and multi-state champion chess player, I dug into the literature on vision, strategy, systems thinking, and storytelling. I interviewed over 50 C-suite executives, thought leaders, including luminaries such as Seth Godin, Roger Martin, etc.I combined everything that could be practically applied and developed new frameworks to address key gaps to create a new system: Future Solving™Future Solving™ has since been adopted by dozens of Fortune 500 companies and thousands of leaders. Over $20B has been architected on the Future Solving™ frameworks, and this work has been featured in Forbes, Bloomberg, etc.Now I'm sharing the blueprint with you.“Future Solving will be the foundation of the next reinvention of our company.” - CLO, Fortune 10 company

Most of the stuff out there for getting into AI is created by people who haven't worked in AI. Compiling lists of links and resources can be helpful, but nothing replaces real stories of people who have navigated the journey of getting into AI firsthand. We've each:• Developed the technical and soft skills necessary to get into AI• Built networks and leveraged LinkedIn and other social platforms to connect with people and jobs• Hired people into AI jobs and can tell you what each of us has looked for, with tips for resumes and interviews Over the span of&nbsp;5 sessions, each with a Q&amp;A hosted John Kraski, you'll be guided through an individual journey into AI, starting from different vantage points:• Pascal Bornet started in finance• Cassie Kozyrkov started in neuroscience• Carly Taylor started as a chemist• Noelle Russell started as an educator• Brian Evergreen started as a musician Then each instructor will share about their experiences hiring into AI roles, with actionable tips for resumes and interviews. Each instructor will share what they would do if they were starting out today without their network and without any work history, and how they would approach getting into AI if they already had a job in another field or function. Each instructor will then be asked 5 questions selected from questions submitted in advance by course students. All sessions are recorded, so no matter where you are, no matter what time-zone you're in, you can learn how to get into AI.

New year, new career. Get into AI in 2025. 

For professionals who didn't study computer science but want to get into AI

For computer scientists looking to stand out and grow

For mid-career professionals looking to pivot into AI

We will dive deep into decision criteria that led to different career choices, with practical recommendations for how you can be thinking through your next step in 2025.

How to decide where you want to work in AI

Each of us took different paths to develop the skills that we leveraged to get into AI at top companies. We will share the combination of resources, studying, and skill-building it took for each of us to reach our goals, and where we would start if we were starting today.

How to develop the right technical and soft skills

You could be the best data scientist, the best product manager, or the best solution architect in the world, and it wouldn't matter if no one knows it or you. We will share how we developed our networks and the roles they played in our careers.

How to build the right network

Standing out for a job well done or for the momentum you might be building toward an initiative can be a tricky balance. We'll share how we got visibility to grow within our different organizations, how we raised our hands for extras assignments, and some of our lessons learned.

How to stand out (the right way)

Sometimes the loudest people on the internet about the future of jobs in the era of AI are people who don't understand AI. We will provide our honest perspectives on where job functions aligned with our areas of expertise are headed and what we recommend.

A glimpse into the future of jobs in the era of AI

As we share our career stories, you will hear real-world examples of actual projects for top companies, revealing what it actually takes to implement AI and simplifying what is often opaque to people outside of AI.
