Intelligence is now abundant. The capacity to direct it well is not.
That gap determines who creates value with AI and who gets displaced by it. We build the human capabilities that close the gap.
Don't let AI happen to you. Shape what's next.
AI is growing more capable. The thing that matters is whether you can direct it to produce your intended outcomes.
How you direct AI shapes how you work, learn, think, and lead. That means working with AI, directing AI, and building the human skills that make both of those valuable. No matter your role, this is part of your job now. We are all Directors of Intelligence.
The next 18 months will separate organizations that direct AI from those still figuring it out. Four capability sets, built in sequence. Each one compounds the value of the last. Where you start determines where you end up. We can compress the timeline, but you can't skip the sequence.
Develop AI fluency alongside the judgment and discernment that determine whether AI amplifies your value or replaces it.
Use Workflow Intelligence to determine what tasks should be automated by AI, augmented with AI, and what tasks remain irreducibly human.
Redesign how work gets done to take advantage of AI's capabilities. Assign levels of agency to AI to achieve the outcomes that matter most.
Coordinate multiple AI systems across teams and functions. The strategic layer where Directors of Intelligence operate.
Today's window will not remain open forever.
Every competitor has access to the same AI. The same models, the same platforms, the same tools. That's not where advantage exists.
The gap opens when one organization's people can think critically about what AI produces, delegate the right work at the right time, and make better decisions because of the collaboration.
Those are Human × AI capabilities.
Building those capabilities is what turns a technology investment into a strategic one. It's the difference between people who can use AI and people who can change how work gets done.
The data is clear. Leaders are deploying fast while their teams fall further behind. Closing that gap is an investment decision, not a training problem.
"Our partnership helps us lead our region into the AI era. It gives us a practical way to build confidence, capability, and momentum across our entire community."
"At first, some of our leaders were fearful and misinformed about AI. The Challenge gave us a safe, structured way to learn together. I watched people who were hesitant to transform into confident leaders who now use AI to strengthen our mission."
"I found AI much more useful when I started talking to it like a co-worker. I started imagining it was someone on my team and I was giving them a new assignment."
"The course is so well structured, well thought out, and well delivered. The content is very aligned with ou values, which puts humans at the center."
"The AI Agility Challenge gave me a real breakthrough in my work. I love the comprehensiveness of the program and how easy it is to complete in small bites."

Most institutions are approaching AI as a technology initiative. The opportunity is bigger than that. Start by building capability internally across faculty, staff, and students. Then extend it outward to regional employers, creating the workforce pipeline they actually need. The employer partnerships can fund your internal transformation.
Generic AI training doesn't stick because it doesn't connect to anyone's actual work. Each participant is paired with an agentic AI learning guide that understands their industry, company, and role. They build capability through their real work, in their real context.
Your clients are asking about AI readiness and you need a credible answer. Our turn-key programs help them build Directors of Intelligence, with the content, platform, and facilitation handled for you. You own the relationship. Revenue is shared.
1:20 with Todd McLees about the AI Agility Challenge
Most AI tools are happy to do the work for you. Virgil does something more meaningful. It watches how you work, identifies the specific skill holding you back, then builds scaffolding so you can close that gap yourself. Better questions instead of answers. Growing capabilities instead of increasing dependency.
Static courses teach to the middle. Virgil reads your thinking and adjusts its approach in real time, meeting you where you actually are.
Virgil guides you through the complex work where real capability grows. The goal is competence that compounds over time.
You can't fix what you can't see. Virgil watches your process, names the gap, and builds a path to close it.
Virgil doesn't rescue you when things get hard. It sits with you in the difficulty until the skill takes hold.
Tell us about your team or institution. We'll show you how AI Agility fits — and share case studies, outcomes data, and partnership details relevant to your situation.
