2 live days · Your work, in practice
Prepare a clearer leadership decision.
Choose Intro to improve individual strategic, performance and communication tasks. You frame the question, inspect the evidence and make the decision.
Give your next leadership decision a better foundation. Build from a concise decision brief to proactive agents that maintain an operating review, then coordinate a Factory of proactive AI agent teams that prepares strategy, resources and execution choices for your judgment.
A chief executive must choose priorities, allocate scarce resources and hold the organization to its commitments. The course focuses AI on preparing evidence and exposing tradeoffs while keeping decision rights, accountability and communication with the people responsible.
What you learn
Learn to prompt for a decision brief, check its evidence and compare strategic options with explicit assumptions.
Clear decision briefs and explicit assumptions prepare you for Intensive, where you create proactive agents and learn to hand continuing leadership preparation to a Dot. Hands-on Dots practice starts in Intensive.

The work behind the map
Daily detail
Follow the work from its starting material to a result you can inspect. Each checkpoint gives you a reason to approve, revise or stop.
Intro
Days 1–2 · Tasks
Frame a useful first pass.
Direct one important task at a time. Give the prompt enough context, inspect the result and improve it before reuse.
Day 01Define the decision only you can make
Use a sample growth or service-expansion decision. Turn a broad ambition into a question with real alternatives, constraints and an accountable decision owner.
- 1.1
Write the decision brief
Specify the decision, why it matters now, the available options and the constraints. Separate the decision itself from research and preparation that can be delegated.
Suggested time for this task: 1 hour in Full Course; 30 minutes in Crash Course. Part of your class day, not extra time.- Practice result
- An executive decision brief with scope and ownership.
- 1.2
Inspect the evidence and assumptions
Prompt a summary of the supplied market and operating evidence. Trace material claims to sources and record what would need to be true for each option to work.
Suggested time for this task: 1 hour 20 minutes in Full Course; 40 minutes in Crash Course. Part of your class day, not extra time.- Practice result
- An evidence map and assumptions register.
- 1.3
Prepare the leadership discussion
Draft a one-page briefing with the choice, tradeoffs, unanswered questions and proposed review criteria. Remove claims that are not supported by the sample materials.
Suggested time for this task: 1 hour 40 minutes in Full Course; 50 minutes in Crash Course. Part of your class day, not extra time.- Practice result
- A reviewed leadership brief and reusable executive prompt.
By the end of the day
A leadership brief that explains the choice and the evidence needed to make it.
Review checkpoint
Check whether the alternatives are meaningfully different and whether every material assertion has support or an explicit assumption label.
Day 02Compare choices and explain the tradeoff
Practice a resource decision and the communication that follows it. Do not let an attractive narrative hide the costs or conditions of the recommendation.
- 2.1
Compare resource options
Use a supplied capacity and cost summary to compare two or three approaches. Identify the constraint each option addresses and the tradeoff it creates.
Suggested time for this task: 1 hour in Full Course; 30 minutes in Crash Course. Part of your class day, not extra time.- Practice result
- A resource-options table with assumptions and dependencies.
- 2.2
Draft a leadership recommendation
Prepare a short recommendation for the sample leadership team. Include the evidence, risks, decision required and the conditions under which the choice should be revisited.
Suggested time for this task: 1 hour 20 minutes in Full Course; 40 minutes in Crash Course. Part of your class day, not extra time.- Practice result
- A draft recommendation with explicit review conditions.
- 2.3
Refine your executive prompts
Check the brief and recommendation against their sources. Save prompts for strategic questions, operating questions and clear leadership communications.
Suggested time for this task: 1 hour 40 minutes in Full Course; 50 minutes in Crash Course. Part of your class day, not extra time.- Practice result
- Practice refining executive prompts and checking a decision note against the evidence.
By the end of the day
Practice using prompts to compare evidence, support a decision and communicate it clearly.
Review checkpoint
Confirm that a proposed choice is not presented as an approved commitment, and that estimates are not framed as promised results.

Choose your starting point
One progression. Three choices.
Intro teaches individually directed prompts. Intensive puts recurring work into proactive agents. MasterCourse connects the whole pathway and adds the Factory Capstone.
Intro
Learn to prompt for a decision brief, check its evidence and compare strategic options with explicit assumptions.
Choose Intro to improve individual strategic, performance and communication tasks. You frame the question, inspect the evidence and make the decision.
Intensive
Learn to build and supervise proactive agents that monitor approved signals, prepare performance questions, update resource scenarios and maintain the leadership decision record.
Choose Intensive to give recurring preparation to proactive agents working within agreed boundaries. The five days cover curriculum days 3–7.
Create and test proactive AI agents for leadership preparation. Name a role such as Operating Review, then hand suitable work to OpenAI Dots to follow material business signals and prepare the next operating review. Choose one run or a continuing responsibility, with approved connections, agreed reports and a clear way to pause or retire the work.
MasterCourse
Learn to connect executive prompts and operating-review proactive agents into a Factory of proactive AI agent teams for strategy, resources and execution, while retaining approval of decisions and release.
Choose MasterCourse for all ten days and the exclusive Capstone. Test a bounded strategic initiative through simulated operating cycles.
Build a Factory of proactive AI agent teams for leadership preparation. Use a Dot to coordinate continuing work across their handoffs and return changed evidence, resource options and decisions awaiting the executive. Test changing inputs, blocked work and a later restart. The executive retains spending, staffing, contractual and strategic decisions.
Intensive is a five-day purchase, not a seven-day bundle. The three-day Capstone is available only inside the ten-day MasterCourse.

How these tools support your course
Intro · Tasks
Use Perplexity research examples and Gamma presentation examples to prepare a strategic brief and options comparison. Inspect source evidence before it enters the leadership narrative.

A missed day has a guaranteed place on the same curriculum day in a later cohort, free of charge, within twelve months of the original cohort's last scheduled day. After this window, new enrollment uses the then-published fee; day credits have no cash value and cannot buy a different curriculum day. An attended day may be repeated without charge within the same twelve-month window, subject to space. One free transfer of the whole seat or its unused days to a later cohort, in either published format, without a reason or a price increase, within twelve months of the original cohort’s last scheduled day. A day already consumed on one format is consumed on both; unused curriculum days are portable across dates and formats.
Full refund, transfer and credit policyWhat should I know before enrolling?
Full refund for a cancelled live program before its first scheduled session begins, including individual and group purchases and an approved MasterMind season. No refund after the purchased program starts, including dissatisfaction or absence, except for a session the provider fails to deliver. Statutory rights are unaffected. Partial attendance consumes the day under the published attendance rules. Read the full terms before choosing your class.
