This is for you if

  • You have used ChatGPT or Copilot and are not sure when to trust it
  • You want the risks explained once, properly, without a sales pitch
  • You are deciding whether the full programme is worth your time

This is not for you if

  • Anyone who has already taken The AI-Ready Manager

What you will be able to do

By the end of the programme, without supervision.

  • Explain, in one sentence, why a language model fabricates
  • Recognise the four canonical failure modes by name and by shape
  • Apply a verification check sized to the consequence of being wrong
  • Know what must never go into a prompt

Foundations

Prediction not lookup. Context as the product. The jagged frontier. The four incidents. What never goes in a prompt.

Common questions

Do I need to be technical?

No. There is no code in this programme. If you can write a brief for a new hire, you have the prerequisite.

We already pay for ChatGPT and Copilot. Why would we pay for this?

Because the licences are the part that already worked. In the largest field study available, only about 40% of people given Copilot used it regularly after six months. This programme is about changing how work is done, not about which button to press.

What if I miss a session?

Sessions are recorded and the applied work is asynchronous. But the cohort and the schedule are most of what you are paying for — if you expect to miss more than one, take the next cohort instead.

Will I get a certificate?

You get a certificate only if you pass the capstone against a published rubric. An attendance certificate would not mean anything, so we do not issue one.

Can my employer be invoiced?

Yes. Ask on the waitlist form and we will send an invoice with purchase-order details.

Small cohorts, because the applied work needs real attention.
