Phases

Five phases. Fourteen topics. One linear path.

Walk the program in order or jump to any topic. Each phase has its own index, and every topic links to the deck, pre-read, lab, or handout it grew from.

  1. 01

    Phase 01 -- Where Claude fits

    Orientation & Foundations

    4 topicsView the phase →

    The base layer. By the end of Phase 1 the room shares a common picture of what AI is, what an LLM is, and where Claude is genuinely good versus genuinely dumb.

  2. 02

    Phase 02 -- The spine of every workflow

    Prompting

    3 topicsView the phase →

    Prompting is the move you'll make a thousand times across the program. Phase 2 builds the muscle: a clean four-part briefing pattern, three back-to-back labs, and a six-point quality check for every output.

  3. 03

    Phase 03 -- The shape of the road

    Cowork + Power Stack

    3 topicsView the phase →

    Cowork is where the program shifts from prompts in a chat box to workflows on your laptop. Phase 3 gets it installed, governed, and then takes a guided tour of the six concepts that turn it into a firm capability.

  4. 04

    Phase 04 -- Your role, your loop

    Applied Workflows

    2 topicsView the phase →

    Two role breakouts in different rooms. Sourcing builds four skill starters in M5; Portfolio Ops builds four more in M6. Each learner walks out with one workflow they've committed to running every week.

  5. 05

    Phase 05 -- Ship it, then keep shipping

    Capstone & Beyond

    2 topicsView the phase →

    M7 is the live demo workshop -- every learner shows the workflow they shifted from manual to AI-accelerated. M8 is the durable layer that lives on disco indefinitely: the prompt library, the resource hub, and the habit that keeps the four-week investment compounding.

Schedule

What's next.

This syllabus is the shape we are proposing after kickoff and the Cowork rollout. If something does not fit the way the team is using Cowork already, flag it in the May 13 planning call so we can adjust before locking dates.

Kickoff complete. Remaining sessions sequenced in the May 13 planning call.
