The AI Scale Academy

Curriculum

Eight modules from foundations to measured AI operations.

26 lessons, 8 hands-on exercises, 16 copyable prompt templates and 8 downloadable worksheets. Work at your own pace; most founders allow two to four hours per module.

  1. AI Foundations & Readiness

    Outcome

    A one-page readiness profile: what AI can and cannot do for your business, your data and risk boundaries, and a named owner.

    Open module

    Start with a clear mental model. Understand what today's AI assistants are good and bad at, assess your data, tools and team readiness, and set the boundaries that keep client trust intact before anything is automated.

    • What current AI tools actually do well, and badly15 min
    • Audit your data, tools and team readiness14 min
    • Set risk boundaries and name an owner13 min

  2. Opportunity Mapping & ROI

    Outcome

    A ranked list of the five processes where AI can save measurable time, with a baseline for each.

    Open module

    Stop guessing where AI fits. Inventory how your team actually spends its week, separate judgement work from rule-based work, and rank opportunities by time, risk and readiness.

    • Run a one-week time inventory14 min
    • Separate judgement work from rule-based work12 min
    • Score and rank your opportunities16 min

  3. Prompting, Assistants & Knowledge

    Outcome

    A searchable internal knowledge base and an AI assistant grounded only in approved content.

    Open module

    Get answers out of the founder's head. Structure your SOPs, policies and FAQs so your team, and an internal assistant, can find accurate answers without interrupting you.

    • A reliable prompting method: role, context, task, format, check15 min
    • Audit the questions that interrupt you11 min
    • Structure a knowledge base that stays current14 min
    • Ground an internal assistant safely15 min

  4. Workflow Automation & Integration

    Outcome

    Clear, testable SOPs for your top processes that both people and AI tools can follow.

    Open module

    AI amplifies whatever process you give it, including a messy one. Capture how work really flows, write SOPs at the right level of detail, and define quality checks before anything is automated.

    • Capture the process as it really runs13 min
    • Write SOPs people and AI can both use15 min
    • Define quality gates and owners11 min
    • Connect tools: triggers, actions and safe automation16 min

  5. Sales, Marketing & Customer Experience

    Outcome

    AI-assisted lead response, follow-up and onboarding with a human approving every client-facing message.

    Open module

    Map the journey from enquiry to renewal, find the slow handoffs, and design AI-assisted drafting, triage and reminders that keep your voice and your judgement in the loop.

    • Map the lifecycle and its delays12 min
    • Design draft-and-approve messaging15 min
    • Triage, reminders and safe escalation13 min

  6. Operations, Finance & KPI Dashboards

    Outcome

    A single weekly dashboard of 6–10 metrics, with AI-written commentary you can verify.

    Open module

    Choose metrics that drive decisions, connect the data you already have, and use AI to summarise what changed and why, without hiding the underlying numbers.

    • Choose metrics that change decisions12 min
    • Connect data with what you already own14 min
    • Add AI commentary you can verify12 min

  7. Team Adoption, Governance & AI Agents

    Outcome

    A team adoption plan with role-based guidelines, a review routine, and a safe, supervised first agent workflow.

    Open module

    Make AI a team habit rather than a founder hobby. Train by role, govern with light routines, and understand when multi-step AI agents are worth it and how to supervise them.

    • Train by role, not by tool14 min
    • Govern with a light monthly routine12 min
    • AI agents: when they help and how to supervise them16 min

  8. 30-Day Rollout & Measurement

    Outcome

    A disciplined month of pilots with measured results and keep, adjust or stop decisions.

    Open module

    Turn plans into practice. Sequence pilots, prepare your team, measure against your baselines, and make evidence-based decisions about what to scale.

    • Sequence pilots for momentum12 min
    • Prepare your team for adoption13 min
    • Measure, decide and scale14 min
