Create the foundation for AI Adoption with the AI Essentials for Everyday Leaders Program

​​

Four modules, ~5.5 hours over 2–3 weeks

 

Our flagship program builds practical AI capability across your leadership team with hands-on training that empowers  participants to confidently use AI tools, understand the benefits and risks, and promote responsible AI adoption.

​

No technical background required.

​

Participants learn how AI works and where it’s headed, develop skills using AI assistants on their real day-to-day work, and think about AI strategically by applying the Dragon FRUIT AI Adoption Framework to identify, score and prioritize the use cases with the strongest payoff.

You finish with a prioritized shortlist of AI use cases with estimated ROI, a high-level adoption roadmap, practical skills your team can apply right away, and the responsible-use foundations including data-safety habits, policy building blocks, and the judgment to keep people in the lead, not just in the loop.

​

​What You Walk Away With:

• Better understanding of the AI landscape, how AI works, and the importance of approaching adoption responsibly

• Hands-on AI skills for real work to use AI effectively

• Prioritized list of their top AI use cases, scored with estimated ROI 

• Dragon FRUIT AI adoption framework to IMPLEMENT SMART with a high level plan for change management, infrastructure, and rollout

• Self-defined committed next steps for AI adoption​

​​​​​​

Integrate responsible AI into your everyday with an Accelerating AI Adoption Project 

 

~ 10-12 weeks, customized to your defined project outcomes

 

AI literacy skills and a shortlist of AI use cases are a great start but integrating responsible AI use into your working practice is the goal.

​

Accelerating AI Adoption projects turn your top priorities into documented, tested practice: your chosen AI assistant configured with the right data protections, your documents and knowledge organized as the foundation every use case draws on, a Responsible AI Use Policy written in your organization’s own words, and your priority use cases implemented and tested on real work.

 

These projects help you to maintain the momentum generated from the AI Essentials program, transitioning knowledge and skill acquisition to adoption acceleration so you can reap the benefits from AI as quickly as possible.

 

The program includes office hours and adoption check-ins to provide your team with the support, encouragement and motivation needed for new habits form.

​

​Initiatives can include:​

• Team and Executive-Level AI Policy Development and Training:  Build an Responsible AI Use Policy and establish the necessary infrastructure and procedures to protect your organization as you adopt AI tools.

• Facilitated AI Adoption and Strategy Development — Build a detailed roadmap aligned with your business strategy to increase your AI maturity and implement the priority use cases that will deliver the greatest impact to your organization.

• AI Implementation Advisory, Counsel and Ongoing Change Management Support — Project planning, team coordination, communication and change management to execute your AI adoption plan.​

​​

We’re here to provide you with the strategic counsel you need as the AI landscape evolves and your organization's needs grow.

Equip your board to discuss the strategic implications of AI with a Board AI Briefing 

 

90 minutes: 60-minute briefing + 30-minute facilitated discussion

 

There's no question that AI belongs on every board's strategic agenda. However, without shared baseline knowledge, the discussion can potentially be driven by instinct, with some directors embracing restriction and others pushing for wholesale adoption. Neither instinct protects the organization.

The Board AI Briefing levels the field, creating the foundation for strategic, informed discussion about what AI means for your organization.

 

This single session gives your directors a shared, practical baseline: how AI systems actually work and why they make mistakes, what AI can and can’t do reliably today, how quickly it’s improving, how it could change the way people interact with organizations like yours, and the board’s role in protecting the organization while enabling progress.

 

A short, confidential pre-session pulse survey tailors the briefing to your board. Works as a standalone governance session or as the first step in the journey. Fits within a regular board meeting or a retreat.​​

​

Also available as an Executive AI Briefing for leadership teams who want a fast, shared baseline.

Gain the knowledge and tools to use AI with confidence in your practice.
