Who it is for
Leaders who own a function, a business unit or a profit and loss and have been asked to make AI pay. It suits leaders who run operations, finance, sales, marketing, technology or people teams and want to lead the change in their own area with confidence.
Format
Six months with Ewan in a group of up to 12 senior peers, all working on their own function. There are two intakes a year, in February and September. You apply, have an onboarding call with Ewan to talk about your work and what you want from the six months, and pay once you have agreed to go ahead.
The six stages
- Your function on an AI operating model. Map the work your function does today and mark where agents can take it on safely.
- Your first working agent. Build an agent on the platform your company already uses and put it to work on a real task.
- A workflow that holds up. Join agents and people into one workflow, test it end to end and set the checks that keep it right.
- Data, risk and the rules. Agree what data the work can touch, who owns each risk and what your board will ask to see.
- People and agents. Redraw roles and measures so your team grows with the change and stays accountable.
- Your AI plan. Present your plan for the function to the cohort and Ewan, and leave with it ready for your board.
What you leave with
- Working agents doing real work in your function
- Tested workflows with checks and named owners
- An AI plan for your function, ready to take to your board
Do I need technical skills?
No. You need a laptop, a work account on Claude, Copilot, ChatGPT or Gemini, and a function you are responsible for. Ewan teaches the build side step by step.
How is it different from a course?
A public course is one day on one skill. The AI Transformation runs for six months on your own function. If you want to start smaller, try Working with AI agents or AI at Work for Leaders.
Who teaches it
Ewan MacLeod, President of the City CIO Club and a serial group chief information officer who has led technology and transformation at Nordea and Sohar Bank. Ewan teaches the build side of AI: agents, workflows and the operating model that holds them together. More about Ewan.
