What if the real power of AI isn't in the answers it gives us, but in the questions it helps us ask ourselves?

A six-week programme for executives who want to think better with AI.

DURATION

6 weeks

September 8, 2026 for November cohort


There are many AI training courses that teach tools, workflows and prompts. None of them address the real problem: people are using AI to avoid thinking. This programme is different.

We teach people to be curious in dialogue with AI, to hold productive friction, and to use it to go deeper into their own thinking rather than shortcut it. This is about building the distinctly human capabilities of critical thinking, intellectual curiosity, the ability to ask better questions, that will determine who remains valuable as AI handles more cognitive work.

Modules


Module 1 - Week 1

Deeper Thinking

How to engage with AI as a thinking partner by asking better questions rather than seeking faster answers.

Module 2 - Week 2

Productivity

Why 95% of AI pilots produce no measurable impact. The leadership discipline that turns AI's speed into lasting value.

Module 3 - Week 3

The Science of AI

How large language models are actually built and why understanding this changes how you use them.

Module 4 - Week 4

Productive Friction

Why agreement is the most dangerous thing AI can offer, and how to use it as a sparring partner rather than a mirror.

Module 5 - Week 5

Constraint

Why limits produce richer thinking than freedom does, and how to impose your own before opening any AI tool.

Module 6 - Week 6

Memory

What stays yours when AI does the remembering. How to build a knowledge base that AI thinks with, not for you.

Everything we teach in this programme starts with a question. So does our book. AI for Deeper Thinking makes the case that the most valuable thing you can develop right now is not your AI skills but your own judgment, curiosity and capacity to think.
