Close the AI capability gap: Exec-level training for senior leadership teams

“We're going to get to AI systems that are better than almost all humans at almost all tasks... That's the thing I think we're quite likely to get in the next two or three years." - Dario Amodei (CEO, Anthropic), January 2025.

However…

”Only 8% of employees reported they feel GenAI is already transforming their organisation.” - Deloitte - State of Generative AI in the Enterprise report, Q4 2024.

Quite frankly, the gap between AI advancement and AI adoption that those two stats speak to is just too large. It’s no longer just a gap. It’s a chasm.

And add to that…

“In organisations where AI is openly embraced, the chance of developing 'AI Experts' and 'AI Practitioners' is halved when direct managers discourage its use, either directly or indirectly.” - Section School - The AI Proficiency Report, January 2025.

Merging those three storylines and you get a headline that says that senior leadership is the bridge that connects AI aspirations to organisational reality, and ultimately the trajectory of its integration at every level.

In other words; true organisation-wide AI adoption doesn’t begin with technology or tools.

It begins with leadership. AI literate and AI skilled senior leadership.

And that, in a nutshell is what this course is designed to achieve. To take you (a senior leader) and the rest of your exec team from AI novicehood to AI literacy in four weeks.

That’s what I’ve been doing for the past 2 years with companies, through my consultancy, Ten Past Tomorrow. In doing so, I’ve seen first-hand what happens when those three quotes above play out. Without full commitment to AI from an AI-literate executive leadership team, AI adoption is hamstrung to the point of failure, without exception.

This is a "zero-to-one" course. It's designed to take senior leadership teams from a cold start, to AI competence.

Even if you've never used an AI tool, in four weeks you and your fellow senior leaders will get a world-class grounding in essential, foundational AI prompting skills, and also develop your competence to understand how AI will affect your company and industry from a strategic viewpoint.

You and your executive team colleagues may still consider yourselves AI-novices. Or perhaps you feel you have 'some AI knowledge' but your company has stalled after taking your first experimental steps with AI and don't know what the path looks like from here? Or maybe you've mastered AI for yourself and your own role, know first-hand the power it has to radically ramp up efficiency and productivity, but are stuck as to how to create an AI roadmap to distribute that same knowledge across your workforce?

If any of the above resonates with you and your fellow senior leaders in your exec team, this course is for you.

Instead of reacting to AI disruption, you’ll soon be leading it; unlocking productivity gains, driving innovation, and making AI a competitive advantage for your company.

Who is this course for?

Executive leadership teams who want to collectively, confidently, knowledgeably, skilfully, and ethically lead an AI-forward company.

Exec teams who acknowledge AI is far more than a technical challenge - it demands leaders step forward to lead comprehensive strategic chang

Leadership teams excited by making a genuine commitment to fundamentally reshape their people, processes and businesses.

What you’ll get out of this course

Understand the 5 (tested and proven) strategic steps to build an AI-forward business.

By the end of this course, you'll understand what the five strategic steps to AI adoption are and how to apply them. You'll leave with a clear roadmap to make your business AI-forward, as a leadership team that drives efficiency, innovation, and long-term competitive advantage.

Become a highly skilled AI prompt writer and use those skills to build your own personal "AI strategic thought partner"

You’ll master AI prompting. Well enough in fact that you’ll apply those skills to use your favourite LLM as your own personal strategic executive assistant. Then take those skills away to drive radical productivity in your own work tasks, and guide your employees toward the same.

Deploy a framework-led diagnosis of whether your company is behind, on-track or ahead with AI, in relation to 10 key AI KPIs.

Still wondering if you're ahead, on-track or behind your competition with AI deployment? Assess your company’s AI maturity using a structured matrix framework across 10 key AI KPIs. Benchmark progress, spot gaps, and confidently communicate AI readiness to your stakeholders.

Become an AI literate senior leadership team that collectively has the understanding and skillset to create an 'AI Emergent' organisation.

Your leadership team will move from AI uncertainty to confidence. Gain the strategic and practical AI skills needed to drive adoption at scale, making your organisation AI-forward. Leave with the knowledge to lead AI initiatives, boost efficiency, and stay ahead in your industry.

AI efficiency and productivity

The hands-on skills to prompt off-the-shelf AI tools (like ChatGPT) so you can drive radical productivity and efficiency in your own role, and for your employees.

Strategic clarity

Understand what state-of-the-art generative AI can do right now, what developments are likely coming in 12-18 months from the major AI labs, and how to map them across your strategic plan to ascertain where AI represents strategic opportunities and threats to your business model.

What does an AI roadmap look like?

Learn the major components needed to construct a clear AI roadmap for integrating AI into your business, using a proven five-step framework. This is the roadmap to build an AI-forward organisation.

The content was relevant and very thoroughly researched. It was a stiff pace that needed to be kept up as the learning was sequential and you couldn't miss a session. Having the online sessions with other companies was brilliant as it gave insights to what stages they were on their AI journey

Business leaders; don’t be caught flatfooted. The business world is becoming more intelligent around you. Take the initiative now to understand, implement, and scale generative AI. It’s my personal and professional mission to spread AI literacy as broadly and deeply as possible across business ecosystem. In doing so, I believe we'll redefine the shape of the role of an executive business leader. I am passionate about business leadership. I also know how overwhelming it can be for senior leaders to know where to start with generative AI. So, I bridge the gap between generative AI’s potential and your business reality.

Course schedule

⏱️

Live session days/times

See below for times and time zones

Each Friday (NZT) for the 4 weeks of the course, we'll gather live on Zoom as a cohort for discussions, activities and interactive thought experiments based on up-to-the-minute AI methodologies and strategies for senior leaders.

New Zealand Time, Fridays, 9 - 10.30am
(Which is US Time, Thursdays...)
- 5 - 6.30pm (EDT)
- 4 - 5.30pm (CDT)
- 2 - 3.30pm (PDT)

Weekly projects

10 - 20 mins per week

While not designed to be taxing, short tests are included as part of your self-directed learning blocks each week. These are built with the objective of helping you to apply the principles you’re learning to your own business and senior leadership practices.

Active hands-on learning
This course is for senior leadership teams to learn together, building on self-directed learning with live workshops and hands-on micro projects.

Interactive practical learning
While all of your learning is done within your own senior leadership team, you’ll also be interacting with senior leadership teams from the other companies in your cohort. It's invaluable to hear their perspectives and how they're applying the content to their businesses and industries.

Your cohort are your peers
Each cohort on this Ten Past Tomorrow course becomes a community of like-minded senior leaders who want to learn and grow their AI competency and strategic insight, alongside you.

Is the price that's quoted on this page per person or for our whole senior leadership team?

The latter. This course is a single payment, which enrols your entire executive leadership team.

What happens if I can’t make a live session?

All live sessions are held on Zoom, and automatically recorded and distributed via email to all members of the cohort within 24 hours of the session concluding.

I work full-time, what is the expected time commitment?

This course is only for senior leadership teams. I acknowledge your time is at a premium. I know 3.5 hours/week is realistic, but no more. My guiding question in building your content for this course was "would I be comfortable if they finished, not knowing this thing?" The result; clear, focused content that matters to your business. Nothing more.

What’s the refund policy?

If your senior leadership team finishes this course anything less than 100% satisfied with the content, delivery and organisation of the programme, I will refund every cent of your investment.
