Hands-on Agentic AI for Leaders

Apply the Business-First AI Framework to discover, design, and deploy AI workflows — from reusable Agent Skills to multi-agent autonomous systems — in 4 weeks.

What You'll Achieve

1

Apply the Business-First AI Framework to your work

  • Discover high-value workflow opportunities by auditing your recurring work for automation potential and business impact.
  • Deconstruct workflows into AI-ready steps — identifying inputs, outputs, decision points, and the right autonomy level for each.
  • You'll leave with a living Workflow Registry in Notion and a systematic methodology to evaluate any workflow for AI automation.
2

Evaluate AI workflow architectures to select the right pattern for each use case

  • Map AI systems on the autonomy spectrum so you can match the right level of AI control to each business workflow.
  • Apply the seven agentic building blocks — Prompt, Context, Model, Project, Skill, Agent, MCP — to structure your workflows.
  • You'll leave with your top workflows classified on the autonomy spectrum and mapped to building blocks for implementation.
3

Build reusable Agent Skills that turn expertise into AI workflows

  • Create Agent Skills that capture your best practices for content, research, data analysis, and strategy work.
  • Apply Skills across AI platforms so your workflows execute consistently — whether you run them or your team does.
  • You'll leave with a registered Skill library in your AI Repository, linked to workflows and ready for team use.
4

Build deterministic and collaborative AI workflows powered by Skills

  • Build deterministic workflows with fixed rules and evaluation criteria so AI executes consistently without guesswork.
  • Design collaborative workflows with human review checkpoints to maintain quality control on high-stakes work.
  • You'll leave with at least two production workflows — one deterministic, one collaborative — powered by your Agent Skills.
5

Become fluent with your agentic AI builder stack

  • Configure Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub, voice-to-text, memory, and MCP integrations as a unified system.
  • Use plan mode and agentic coding to design, build, and iterate on AI workflows directly from your editor.
  • You'll leave with a production-ready builder stack and the fluency to build workflows from your tools.
6

Build multi-agent autonomous systems for complex workflows

  • Deploy autonomous agents across ChatGPT, Claude, M365 Copilot, and Google Workspace for your highest-value use cases.
  • Coordinate multi-agent teams where specialized agents collaborate — mastering orchestration patterns for autonomous AI.
  • You'll leave with production autonomous systems so you can redirect 10+ hours per week to higher-value strategic work.

What Students Say

I had zero experience with AI tools beyond basic question-and-answer. The course provided a foundation for thinking about and leveraging AI tools to produce high-quality work. For those in sales or marketing, building a foundation in AI tools is a must. By the end of the course, you will have the ability to develop and leverage agents to make both your professional and personal life more efficient.

Head of Growth Marketing

Sr Process Improvement Manager, Point Digital Finance

James Gray's course represents something increasingly rare: AI education that treats participants as thoughtful practitioners rather than potential future evangelists. More than offering either breathless evangelism or dense technical theory, he creates space for genuine understanding. This matters particularly for business leaders operating at strategic levels, where the question isn't whether AI agents will reshape operations, but how to implement them intelligently. The structure proved essential. James maintained group sizes that allowed genuine engagement with individual challenges. Being able to address specific implementation issues in small groups, whether during dedicated office hours or woven into sessions themselves, transformed abstract concepts into actionable understanding that one can eventually pass on. For those of us working strategically across organisations, this individual attention was invaluable. What distinguished the programme was its focus on AI agents as practical tools. James guided us through the specifics of building and deploying agents within actual workflows - not demonstrations of possibility, but frameworks for immediate strategic utility. Those conversations became spaces where individual problems illuminated broader patterns. A question about agent behaviour in one domain would spark insights applicable across contexts. James draws connections between technical architecture and strategic implementation without flattening either. For business leaders moving beyond experimentation into genuine integration of AI agents, this course offers something more valuable than inspiration, though it provides that too. It offers method. Worth the investment entirely.
