About seven minutes on how the Academy works: three ways to run every framework, three ways to use the system, and three results for you.
A new lesson every morning: one framework from one of the world’s best business books, run by hand, with AI, and the AI-Native way. This video changes every day.
Each animated video teaches one framework from one of the world’s best business books. A framework is a set of steps you can run on your own work, and get a result, which makes it the right unit of learning. The books follow seven tracks that cover the most important functions of a business, so week by week you learn how the best ideas apply across every function, well beyond the one you run today.
How you lead the people doing the work.
Where you compete, and how you win.
Pipeline, deals and the conversations that close them.
Keeping the company safe as AI spreads through it.
The buyers you want, and how you reach them.
What you sell next, and where growth comes from.
Your own growth, and your team’s.
Important new books are added as they come out, so your leaders hear the new ideas early.
Your Academy year includes a seat in This Week in AI Leadership: live with Steve, three weeks of every month, with leaders from around the world.
A 10 to 15 minute briefing on what changed in AI and why it matters.
Here is what changed in AI this week. Show me three ways it applies to my business, and what I should try first.
RunAn AI prompt to explore how it applies to your world, run on your own business.
A breakout room with leaders from other companies, to talk through how you’ll use it.
You leave with a plan to act on it over the next week.
Take the four actions framework from Blue Ocean Strategy. You list everything your industry competes on, and ask four questions. What should we eliminate? What should we reduce? What should we raise? And what should we create that nobody in our industry offers?
Run it the way the book tells you to. Your team studies competitors and customers, lists what the industry competes on, and works through the four questions in a strategy workshop. That takes weeks.
What it gets youThe result the book promises
Run it ten times faster with AI, and we show you exactly how. AI researches your competitors, reads your customer reviews and drafts the four lists, so research that took your team weeks takes an afternoon.
What it gets youLower expenses
Run it so your customers get ten times the value for every dollar they spend with you. A service your industry never offered because it took too many people, like a custom plan for every customer, can now run with a few people and their agents.
What it gets youMore revenue
With every framework, you pick which way to run it. Making that choice is what the AI Action Class is for. AI has made doing the work cheap, so deciding which way to do it is now the leader’s job, and the AI Action Class practices that decision in every live session, on your real work.
Every lesson works on your own, and gets more valuable with other leaders and with your team.
10 minA ten-minute lesson every morning, whenever you have ten minutes.
This Week in AI Leadership, live three weeks of every month.
A ready-to-run deck with every lesson, so you can run the AI Action Class with your team on your real work.
The AI Arbitrage way gets the work you already do done faster and cheaper, and you can put a number on it.
The AI-Native way gives your customers ten times the value. You become the leader who brings the idea that grows the business.
Starting with your own. You learn every day and practice every week, and within a year you understand how AI changes every function of the business.
Inside companies all around the world, and in our own company first.

Leaders who want to become AI-Native leaders: people who understand how to apply the best business frameworks with AI across every function of a business, and can show the results.
It’s how every live session runs, on the LACE method. Learn: a 10 to 15 minute briefing on what changed in AI. Apply: an AI prompt to explore how it applies to your world. Collaborate: a breakout room with leaders from other companies. Execute: you leave with a plan to act on it over the next week. You can also run it with your own team, using the ready-to-run deck that comes with every lesson.

Free for you for the rest of this year and all of 2027, because Legacy SBC (AIA) invited you. Regularly $1,000 a year. Every leader at your company can join free too.

The CEO handed AI to the IT department.
The CEO hands AI to the leader who can show results.
AI can now do real work across the whole company. Agents research, write, analyze and build in every function, and their work is now good enough to review and approve.
So the decision to use AI has moved from the IT department to the CEO. In BCG’s survey of 640 CEOs, 72% said they are the main decision-maker on AI, twice the share a year before.
The CEO then hands the work to the leader who can show results in any function, measured on the P&L. That leader is the AI-Native Executive, and this path trains you to be that leader.

Proven means you can check it on your own work and your own P&L. Here is when each proof arrives.
In the first week, you finish real work with agents on your own process, and each piece is graded against a written list of checks.
You pick one number on your P&L, put the gap in dollars, and read the same number again within the quarter to see the change.
A company is valued as a multiple of what it earns, so a year of documented P&L gains raises what your company is worth.
Start in your role, then lead any of the 13 functions, then run the company the way a CEO does. Every Black Belt has nine steps, and each step ends with a finished piece of your company’s real work. Click any Black Belt to see its nine steps.
