Harnessing AI for Execs

The fast track to learning Claude.

One day in London for exec teams. Hands on the tools, real workflows built, governance decided, a named agent to take home.

The challenge

Eleven employees. $200m revenue. Your board has seen the Midjourney numbers. Dario Amodei puts the odds of the first $1bn solo company at seventy to eighty percent. This is not a software procurement decision.

The diagnosis

Your exec team is curious about AI and has not touched it once this week.

A CFO I know ran three years of supplier contracts through Claude on a Saturday morning and walked into Monday with a renegotiation list that paid for his AI strategy ten times over. Your team is still waiting for IT to write a policy.

The teams pulling ahead are the ones whose leadership uses these tools daily. They build their own agents, name them, run them. They are compounding. The teams falling behind are watching from the sidelines and calling it caution.

There is also a safety problem most exec teams have not looked at yet. The consumer version of Claude is not the enterprise version. Data governance, insurance indemnification and boardroom accountability all have gaps that need decisions, not policies. The answer "the AI thing did it" will not hold up.

What we do in the room

Six moves.

  • The real landscape. What Claude actually does that ChatGPT does not. Where the competition economics are going. What to bet on and what to ignore.
  • Hands on with Claude. The whole exec team building, not watching slides. Real use cases from your business, run live.
  • Your own named agent. Each exec builds one in the room. Briefed to their voice, their role and their weekly workflow.
  • The safety and governance brief. Consumer AI vs enterprise AI. Where your data goes. The insurance gap. The three decisions every board needs to make before Monday.
  • The operating model. How leadership uses these tools weekly without it becoming a side project or a compliance problem.
  • The 90-day plan. What you do on Monday, what you do in a month, what you do in a quarter.
Walk away with

Four things you walk away with.

  • Your own named Claude agent, built and briefed in the room.
  • A working exec playbook for how the leadership team uses AI in the running of the business.
  • Governance decisions made. Data, work and people. The three that cannot wait.
  • A 90-day plan for how this compounds from here.
Who it is for

Exec teams who know they need to lead on AI and need a day to actually do it.

CEO plus three to five of the leadership team. No technical background required. Bring the people who run the business, not the people who run the servers.

Who it is not for

One group should book a different room.

  • Engineering deep-dives. We work at the level of the business, not the codebase. Your developers do not need this day.
