A leader who hasn’t personally used AI can’t evaluate vendors, direct initiatives, or lead the conversation in their own company. This program builds that competency in six weeks. Not awareness. Not familiarity. Hands-on mastery, from doing real work with the tools.
Most leaders making AI decisions right now have never opened a tool and done a day’s work with it. They’ve read the articles and sat through the demos. So they approve budgets for tools their teams quietly abandon within 90 days, and they set no standard for what good AI adoption looks like, because they don’t have one themselves.
The gap isn’t information. It’s personal competency: sitting down with an AI tool, doing real work, and knowing from direct experience what it does well, where it fails, and what your business should do about it.
“A leader who has that competency leads differently. They set the pace for their team. They make better decisions about where to invest. They stop being dependent on whoever is talking loudest about AI in the room.”
Andrew Taylor, Principal of Conveyance Solutions, on a recent 10-day stretch of real work with Claude. A few examples, not the full list.
Built a complete run sheet for 20 meetings at a two-day trade show, 90% accurate on first pass.
5 min → ~8 hrs savedRead all notes, scanned business cards, updated HubSpot, and built a follow-up action sheet.
10 min → ~4 hrs savedA soft proposal for a large deal, on brand and in my voice. Sent to the client for review, not the team for editing.
20 min → ~3 hrs savedFour sharp bullets describing what we do for a new partnership announcement. Done between two other tasks.
2 min → ~10 min savedA fully branded PowerPoint for a business event. Fine-tuned and presenter-ready, not a starting draft.
30 min → ~2 hrs savedA daily observation tool recording reflections for ongoing trend analysis and planning.
30 min to build → ongoing valueTotal AI cost for the month: $25. That’s what personal mastery produces — and it’s what this program is built to create.
Two independent six-week sprints. Each stands alone and produces company value on its own. Many leaders start with one.
One 60-minute live session a week, cameras on, plus 15–20 minutes of daily practice. You become genuinely competent through daily use in your actual role, build a personal AI assistant, and develop the judgment that only comes from direct experience.
A configured personal AI assistant, a tested vendor evaluation framework, and an AI Use Map of your company’s specific opportunities.
One 60-minute live session a week, cameras on, plus 60–90 minutes of weekly build. You turn competency into something concrete: a working AI tool someone else on your team can actually use.
A working tool in daily use with handoff documentation, a one-page AI roadmap, and hands-on credibility no demo can replicate.
Cross-industry cohorts of 10–16 leaders from non-competing companies. Claude is the primary platform; a Claude Pro subscription is required per participant and is not included in the program fee.
We’ve spent 20 years inside the operations of industrial distributors and manufacturers. We know how real businesses run, where the friction is, and what sticks versus what gets abandoned. Our AI practice is built on that foundation — not generic technology consulting. We run AI in our own business every day, so this program is taught by practitioners, not trainers who learned the material last month.
For owners, CEOs, CFOs, and CTOs at companies with $15M–$250M in revenue who are ready to stop hearing about AI and start using it. Reach out to Andrew Taylor to discuss fit and reserve a seat.
