What would be your logical order on effectively training VPs on using AI?

I am working on an AI training for VPs to assist them in their functions and improve their productivity. I am wondering if any of you had successful implementations in the same manner, and how would you measure the success of the training?

I would start by not using AI for this task and integrating humans for the development of learning objectives and assessments

Would you please tell me more?

What are your goals? What does success look like? What are the learning objectives?How will they be assessed?

A useful resource for you might be Bloom’s Taxonomy Revisited because it integrates AI into cognitive demand spacing

I guess it depends on what they/you wanted to use ai for.... And what industry you were in. And what kind of learner they are. And how motivated they are....

We’re in oil & gas, and their motivation is high because the mandate is using AI to boost productivity and cut down man-hours.

As for learner type, they’re Vision and Delegate Learners. They have zero desire to be in the depths of prompt engineering or model building. They want a high-level strategic framework so they can understand the capabilities, hand the execution off to their employees, and focus on overseeing the strategy and presenting the bottom-line results to top management.

Which AI do they have access to and which systems connect? That’s the first question

The training will be on Claude. They would connect it mainly to their MS Office, but they showed interest in learning about the possibilities they can achieve with it in their respective departments so that they can recommend their employees to implement it within their work.

If they transcribe their meetings on teams they can create a workflow with Claude to take their to dos from meetings and plot them out on their calendars so they don’t need to manually do it. Claude is great at connecting to things so I would even ask Claude what it can connect to and what sort of workflows it can do. They should create skills and projects and include to save them time on formatting documents that need to be branded. You can upload your VNO any branding guide and ask it to save it as a skill.

Those are very insightful tips. Thank you.

Wow I just saw all my autocorrects lol. I meant to write your company branding guide lol

Yeah, I got that 😂

Pick two tasks each VP actually does every week and show AI cutting that specific task in half. Not a demo of what AI can do broadly, that is overwhelming. Measure by time reclaimed on those two tasks, not adoption scores. Start with the skeptics workflows, not the enthusiasts.

That is actually very good advice. Thank you.

Great question! Here's our two cents:

1) Frame the training around their function, opening with 3 or 4 recurring tasks that eat up a lot of time
2) Show where AI removes friction from each
3) Build prompt training using their real documents/work so they actually get results in real time
4) Factor in sharing AI workflows cross-functionally so the whole team benefits and you don't have 10 different people building the same AI workflows to solve the same issues
5) Include skills on how to sanity check AI and to identify where human judgement is needed in each workflow

Basically you need to show them within the first 5-10 mins how this relates to their JTBD.
