Season 2

Leader Talksat Acme Academy

No cost, three evenings, one theme: what the Acme Work AI Lab learned from studying hundreds of rollouts, boiled down into routines you can try with your team the very next morning.

Made for managers and executives who are tired of slide-deck strategy and want people using AI because it helps, not because a memo said so.

  • Get the real story from the teams at Initech, Umbrella, Soylent and more

  • Leave with ready-made routines to test before Friday

  • AI 201: Why Some Teams Keep Using AI Daily

    Handing out licenses is the easy part. Hear what separates teams where usage keeps growing from teams where it fades: visible champions, small rituals inside existing meetings and honest checks on whether the work got better.

  • AI 202: Fixing the Handoffs That AI Exposes

    Once assistants speed up individual work, the slow parts move to the gaps between people: approvals, duplicate reviews and tasks nobody owns. Learn a light way to map those gaps, name owners, retire steps that no longer pay off and pick what a central team should run.

  • AI 203: Leading by Example With AI

    Teams copy what their managers do, not what they announce. See how leaders share their own prompts in the open, set a few clear rules that make experimenting feel safe, step in only when a project drifts off course and celebrate the small gains that pile up over a year.
