AI UPSKILLING
A project-based approach to building AI fluency and organizational knowledge.
The Future Collapsing of Roles
Individuals are going to be able to operate across functions leveraging AI to close knowledge and skills gaps. Teams will get a lot smaller and move faster. This is the way the industry is headed, whether we like it or not.
Today
Traditional Roles
Typical project delivery ”triad” with clear lines of responsibilities to drive work forward.
Tomorrow
Blending Capabilities
Teams begin blending responsibilities with AI support to get more done in expedited timeframes.
Future
Full-Stack Individual
AI-powered individuals that combine all needed elements to get a project completed.
Building AI Capabilities
Everyone needs to begin building AI fluency and incorporating it into their daily workflows. This is the first set of progressions on this AI journey.
AI Workflows
Automation: End-to-end automated workflows with AI tools.
Agentic Workflows: In-process reasoning within a workflow.
AI Customizations
Configurations: Individual settings and directions for AI guidance.
Data Integration: Incorporation of data references or APIs.
Prompt Engineering
Best Practices: Structuring & one-shot/multi-shot use cases.
Prompt Library: Curation of prompts for specific use cases.
Level One
Prompt Engineering
Level Two
Fast & Consistent Results
Level Three
Fully Automated Results
Hands-On Learning In Community
“Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn.”
- Benjamin Franklin
AI Learning Project
Project Violet will run an 8-week learning project. Participants will get hands-on experience to improve their AI fluency, build/test their personal AI stack, and leave with a framework to stand up an AI Tiger Team in their organizations.
Learning In Community
The community aspect of the program will center around live learning sessions and
community spaces for ongoing discussions. This information will be consolidated into a playbook for all participants at the end of the project.
