AI for Decision Makers

This is specifically for you. This bootcamp was designed for organizational leaders—Executive Directors, CEOs, program directors, development leads—not engineers. There's no coding, no jargon, no assumption that you've used AI before. We start where you are. Before Day 1, every participant completes an AI Readiness Assessment so we can tailor the material to your comfort level, your data, and your real challenges. You'll be surprised how capable you feel by the end of Day 1.

Before the bootcamp, every participant completes a personalized assessment that looks at where your organization stands with data, what kinds of decisions you're making, and where AI might (and might not) help. We use the results to customize examples, exercises, and pacing so the experience resonates with YOUR team—not a room full of engineers. Whether you're AI-curious or AI-cautious, the assessment ensures we meet you where you are.

Especially if you're skeptical. We don't start with hype—we start with honesty. What can AI actually do? Where does it fall short? Where should you absolutely NOT rely on it? Healthy skepticism makes you a better leader in this space, not a worse one. This bootcamp gives you the firsthand experience to form your own informed opinion—not one shaped by headlines or vendor pitches.

It won't—and it shouldn't. AI is a terrible replacement for human judgment, empathy, and relationships. But it's an extraordinary tool for handling the analysis, pattern recognition, and data synthesis that currently consume hours of your team's time. The goal is to give your people more capacity for the work that only humans can do—the listening, the strategy, the relationship-building—by letting AI handle the manual, repetitive parts.

Bring whatever your organization works with day to day: grant reports, program outcome data, financial summaries, donor records, strategic plans, stakeholder surveys, board materials. The more relevant data you bring, the more personal and useful the experience will be. Your AI Readiness Assessment will include specific guidance on what to prepare—and we help you organize everything during the bootcamp.

Yes. Your data stays on your machine or in your organization's private environment. Nothing is shared with other participants. We cover data privacy and responsible AI practices as part of the curriculum—including specific guidance for protecting beneficiary and donor information. When your work affects real communities, data ethics isn't optional. It's built into everything we do.

Yes! We offer the same content as 4 Half-Day Sessions (4 × 4 hours, spread across 2 weeks). Same outcomes, same hands-on experience—just structured for teams who can't step away for 2 consecutive days. This is our most popular format for organizations with packed calendars.

You'll leave with three things: first, a clear and honest understanding of how AI can support your leadership. Second, hands-on confidence—you'll have built real AI-powered workflows on your own data during the bootcamp. And third, a set of working AI advisors tailored to your organization's needs—for grants, impact analysis, fundraising, and stakeholder intelligence—plus a 90-day roadmap to deepen adoption at your own pace. This isn't theory. You leave with tools you can use Monday morning.

Yes—and we strongly recommend it. When your ED, program director, development lead, and operations manager go through this together, the shared language and confidence changes how your entire team approaches decisions. We offer team rates for 3+ participants from the same organization.

ChatGPT doesn't know your organization, your beneficiaries, or your strategic plan. It gives generic answers that might sound impressive but miss your reality entirely. What you build here is grounded in YOUR data—it references your actual reports, analyzes your real numbers, and understands your specific context. It's the difference between asking a stranger for advice and working with someone who's read every document your organization has ever produced.
