First, more intelligent
Every leader, manager and operator works with frontier AI, safely and well. The frontier labs built the intelligence. Your first step is to get it into your people’s hands.

WHY THIS ORDER
TIO Academy starts with intelligence, then redesigns the work.
Demis Hassabis founded DeepMind in 2010 with a two-step plan: “Step one, solve intelligence. Step two, use it to solve everything else.” We apply the same logic to an organization.
Then, more automated
Your people use that intelligence to rethink the work. They redesign it from the outcome, and then automate the redesign.
You stay in control throughout. You keep your vision, your assets, your reputation and your freedom to move. More intelligent, more automated and more in control are the three outcomes of The Intelligent Organization™ (TIO).
HOW THE TWELVE WEEKS RUN
Everyone starts together and finishes together.
Three cohorts run in parallel for one financial quarter. Each cohort works on its own part, and the work of one cohort reaches the next.
Context
Week 1. Everyone learns what AI is, where it came from and where it is going. Your Chief Executive Officer opens the program.
Mindset
Week 2. People learn how to think and work with AI. Each person sets up a personal Thought Partner on a frontier model.
Rules and first results
Week 3. Leaders confirm one page of AI rules. Managers learn AI governance. Operators save their first hour.
Apply
Weeks 5 to 9. Each cohort uses AI on its own real work. Operators send improvement ideas to managers, and managers redesign one workflow.
Control
Throughout the program. People learn the data rules, how to check AI work and who is accountable.
Capstone
Week 12. Each cohort shows real work. Your Chief Executive Officer sets out the next 90 days.
The Intelligent Organization™ (TIO) provides the framework for connecting personal learning to whole-organization transformation. Explore TIO and its open resource library.
THREE COHORTS, ONE PROGRAM
Leaders leave with a strategy. Managers leave with work redesigned. Operators leave with a better job.
Each cohort has its own live sessions and works on its own real tasks, with the tools your organization has approved. The six Management sessions are built on lessons by David Shapiro.
LEADERSHIP · 6 SESSIONS
Set the rules, then the strategy
The Chief Executive Officer and the senior team leave with AI rules, a strategy, a position on the workforce, and a personal Chief of Staff, AI Council and mission control.
MANAGEMENT · 8 SESSIONS
Change your work, then your team’s work
Managers leave with a digital support team, a weekly team routine and one workflow redesigned and automated.
OPERATORS · 6 SESSIONS
Save time, then use it well
The people who do the work leave with hours saved each day, more time on the work they were hired for, and a new way of working.
What your organization gets
People in all three cohorts use AI every day. Leaders hold confirmed AI rules with a named owner. A before and after TIO assessment shows what changed. Every participant receives a certificate.
What comes next
People understand AI as a capability and as a tool. They see how it can improve their work and their results. Your organization is ready for a broader, AI-fueled business transformation. TIO Academy is built on The Intelligent Organization, which is open source and available to guide that work.

PRACTICAL QUESTIONS
Before you begin
How much time does it take?
Each person attends six to eight live sessions over twelve weeks. Sessions run 60 or 90 minutes. Daily practice happens inside people’s normal work.
Which tools do we need?
We use the AI tools your organization has approved. Each person also sets up a personal frontier model, on a personal account, with no work information.
How many people can take part?
A live session works well with about 25 people. The standard program has one group for each cohort. More groups can be added.
How do we start?
We begin with an intake conversation with your Chief Executive Officer and your program lead. We agree the purpose, the cohorts, the tools, the AI rules and the schedule.
