AI Officer Institute

Nobody teaches you this in school:

Using AI and getting good at AI are two completely different things. 🤔

One saves you 20 minutes. The other changes what you're capable of.

Most people in their 20s are somewhere in the first category. Prompting randomly. Getting okay results. Moving on. No feedback. No real skill-building.

The ones pulling ahead? They treat AI like a co-pilot, not a search engine. They know what to hand off, what to keep, and how to tell the difference.

That's exactly what we talk about in our community. Real examples, honest conversations, people actually building this skill on purpose.

AI Officer Certification | AI Leadership Training Your leaders were trained to lead people. Now half the work is AI. The AI Officer Certification equips them to design and run AI programs that deliver ROI.

Friday food for thought: what if your leadership training program could actually tell you if it was working? 🧠

Most programs can't. You run the course, people attend, and then you wait. Weeks. Sometimes months. And by then, the moment to course-correct is long gone.

That's the problem we set out to solve with AIO Lab.

The platform gives leaders real-time visibility into what their teams are actually learning and where they're struggling. And it gives learners something rare: an AI Buddy that's there when they get stuck, a clear mission map, and fast feedback so they're never guessing.

We're in beta right now, and the early results are already surprising people.

Curious what the platform actually looks like? Head to lab.ai-officer.com to see it.

What if you spent 48 hours building your AI operating model, with engineers in the room, on your actual business data?

That is what happens at the Infinite Leverage Retreat in Ho Chi Minh city, Jun 19 to 21.

You arrive with an idea. You leave with a live site, a working CRM, and eight AI agents on a Mac mini you take home. No technical background required. Just your data and a 1:5 engineer-to-founder ratio.

Seats are limited.

Infinite Leverage Retreat: Saigon | June 19 to 21, 2026 June 19 to 21, 2026 in Saigon. Three tiers from $3,000 USD. Walk in with an idea, walk out with working agents.

Honest question for the group: What problem are you actually trying to solve? 🎯

We talk to a lot of people who jumped straight to picking an AI tool before they defined what problem it should fix. Then they wonder why it didn't deliver.

Here's our take.

AI is a multiplier. But it needs something to multiply. A clearly named problem. A measurable baseline. A real outcome you're chasing.

Problem first. AI second. ROI always. That's the whole playbook in one line.

We go deeper on this inside our community, with frameworks you can use this week. Real examples, real questions.

What's one problem in your work right now that you think AI could help with? Drop it below and let's think it through together.

There is a big difference between using AI and knowing how to orchestrate it.

Using AI: you ask, it answers, you move on.

Orchestrating AI: you design systems where AI handles the heavy lifting while you focus on what actually needs you.

That is the AI Officer mindset. And it is a learnable skill.

We built our certification program around exactly this — 10 real business missions, practical workflows, zero fluff.

AI Officer Certification | Build AI Program Leaders Your people need more than tools. They need to design AI workflows, organize data, and run programs that deliver real ROI. This certification builds that capability.

Most companies think their AI problem is about technology.

It’s not.

It’s about leadership.

One of the most important findings from the AI Leadership Gap Report was this:

95% of AI pilot programs fail to create measurable business impact.

Not because AI doesn’t work.

Because organizations are trying to layer AI onto broken workflows, unclear processes, and unprepared leadership teams.

The companies succeeding with AI are doing a few things differently:

✅ leadership is actively involved,
✅ workflows are redesigned before automation,
✅ data is treated as infrastructure,
✅ and success is measured by business outcomes — not tool adoption.

This is one of the biggest shifts happening in business right now.

AI is no longer just a technology conversation.

It’s becoming a leadership conversation.

This is one of the biggest shifts happening in business right now.

Four job interviews today.

Four accountants. Four different industries.

Every single one of them is quitting over AI.

Fintech. Law firm. Outsourcing shop. Furniture company.

Same reason every time — their employer refuses to commit to AI, and they're done waiting.

A Claude seat is $120 a month. That's 1.5% of what one fully-loaded employee costs you annually.

The leaders who won't approve $120 are about to spend $50,000 replacing the people who stopped asking.

It's 2026. Your best people are already interviewing out.

Most won't find out until it's too late.

👉 Read the full breakdown:

I Interviewed Four Accountants Today. They're All Quitting Over AI. Four interviews. Four industries. One reason. What it means for your AI budget — and your best people.

Most leaders don't have an AI problem. They have a consistency problem.

The tools are there. The ideas are there. But without the right rhythms such as daily check-ins, weekly reviews, a cadence that actually holds, AI quietly drifts to the background.

That's exactly what we're tackling live this Thursday.

This week's CAIO Coaching Hour: 🔁 Building Routines That Stick.
How to design the daily, weekly, and monthly rhythms that keep your AI-native operation actually moving, not just running on good intentions.

And this isn't theory. Here's what Dave has already helped leaders solve in past sessions:
✅ Dru built an end-to-end social media automation — starting with folder structure in Cowork and ending with a fully on-brand content workflow
✅ Eric used AI to plan, brand, and build a full project website from scratch — complete with a live Gantt chart for tracking milestones
✅ Julien accelerated a Power BI dashboard migration using Claude — writing DAX with AI assistance and building a repeatable workflow for future reports
Real problems. Real people. Solved live in front of the room.

Thursday's session is open, but you need to speak with Dave first.
If you've been meaning to bring your AI operation from scattered to structured, this is your session.

Most people use AI by writing a new prompt every time they need something.

But what if your best prompts didn’t have to be rebuilt from scratch?

We’re hosting a short micro session on Claude Routines—a practical way to turn one-off prompts into repeatable workflows you can use again and again.

In this session, you’ll learn how to:
• Structure prompts into reusable routines
• Improve consistency in AI outputs
• Save time on repetitive tasks
• Apply workflows to real day-to-day work

If you’re already using AI and want it to feel more reliable and less like trial-and-error, this session is for you.
