// THE FLATIRON AI ACCELERATOR

From AI licenses to AI in production.

Strategy firms work with executives. E-learning vendors reach the masses. Bootcamps train builders. The Accelerator covers all three in one connected program, and every lab ends in a work product your team owns.

01 Leadership Lab Leaders see what AI can really do, then set priorities and 90-day goals. OUTPUT → PRIORITIES FOR THE WORKFORCE 02 Activation Lab The workforce turns repeatable tasks into reusable AI skills against those priorities. OUTPUT → SKILLS LIBRARY + BUILDER SHORTLIST 03 Builder Lab Power users turn the highest-value skills into governed workflows in production. OUTPUT → WORKFLOWS LIVE, HOURS SAVED

Start anywhere. Most organizations begin with the Leadership Lab; each lab also runs on its own.

01 · Leadership Lab

Stop searching. Start building.

Most leaders know AI matters but haven’t seen what it can actually do. In one four-hour session, your leadership team builds solutions to common business problems, then turns what they’ve learned into a plan for each department.

Who: 8–20 executives; no technical background needed
Format: 4 hours, in person or virtual, plus intake survey
Faculty: Senior facilitator plus a technical builder
Timeline: About two weeks end to end

The session

0:00–0:30Explore capability. Live demos of analysis, drafting, app-building and automation.

0:30–1:30Build together. Groups solve everyday leadership problems with AI.

1:30–2:30Bring your idea. Two or three leader-submitted ideas, built live.

2:30–3:15Map your department. Rate opportunities on value and ease.

3:15–4:00Strategy and goals. Shared priorities; 90-day goals with owners.

PROOF OF CAPABILITY

Leadership AI Action Plan and working prototypes

Delivered within five business days, with recordings, prompts and templates from every build.

02 · Activation Lab

Prompts are disposable. Skills are built to last.

Move from one-off prompts to team-wide skills.

A prompt is used once. A skill is a packaged, reusable process with its own instructions, examples and reference data that anyone on the team can run consistently. Learners map a real task from their job, build it as a skill in your licensed tools, test it, and share it.

Who: Cohorts of 50–100 knowledge workers
Format: 4–6 hrs on demand plus four 2–3 hr live labs
Faculty: Lead instructor plus domain facilitators
Timeline: 6–8 weeks

Four live labs

L1Generative AI fundamentals. Context, examples and structured output, plus checking the work, all within your data policy.

L2Map your task and its data. Inputs, steps, rules, exceptions and what good looks like.

L3Build your skill. Package it, test it on real cases, refine it, share it.

L4From skill to agent. Skills wired into an agentic flow live. Builder Lab readiness is scored.

PROOF OF CAPABILITY

A working AI skill per learner, shared with the team

Plus a team skills library, a capability dashboard by team, and an evidence-based Builder Lab shortlist.

03 · BUILDER LAB

From power user to builder.

The best AI ideas stall at the demo stage. In six to eight weeks, your power users turn a leadership priority into a working workflow, built inside IT’s guardrails, so the IT queue gets shorter instead of longer.

WHO: Up to 30 power users, ideally Activation Lab top performers
FORMAT: 20 hrs live plus weekly office hours
FACULTY: Technical instructor plus a domain practitioner
TIMELINE: 6–8 weeks, ending in a demo day
