AI Leads Accelerator
Turn your AI champions into AI leads whose wins spread past their own team. Over six weeks, up to 12 leads learn to coach, curate and connect. Each one ends the first day by saying their 30-day plan out loud to the room.
Until carrying a win is someone's job, it stays with the team that found it.
The role your leads step into
Coach
Sits with colleagues while they try it, hands off the keyboard.
Curator
Keeps working patterns findable, so nobody solves the same problem four times.
Connector
Spots two teams building the same thing and puts them in a room.
Judged at the quarter on three numbers
People they helped ship something
Patterns in use by someone who didn't build them
Whether they still want the role
A no on the third tells you the load needs to change.
Who makes a good AI lead
Your power users are a starting point. The best leads also teach and influence: they can move a team without the authority to tell it what to do. Every lead needs to be an active AI user.

How the six weeks run
- Before the day
The onramp
Leads read the role one-pager (their manager reads it too), name the first person they'll coach, and take part in the nine-dimension Terrain Read of where AI adoption gets stuck in your organization.
- The day
Four parts, mostly hands-on.
The role: Sort the organization's Terrain Read and write the role in your own words.
Coaching: Coach three people who don't want help, plus two written from your Terrain Read. The coach asks and never touches the keyboard.
The Workshop frame: Facilitate a round of the Applied AI Workshop for each other, then decide on facilitator training.
Your first 30 days: Rewrite a working pattern so a stranger can run it, map the collisions, and write and say the plan.
Leads who won't teach the Workshop: open space for the cohort's questions, plus more coaching practice.
- Weeks 2, 4, 6
The follow-through
Week 2. Did the first coaching conversation happen?
Week 4. Which patterns got reused?
Week 6. The numbers, checked against each plan.
Two versions, one price
| Leads who'll teach the Workshop | Leads who won't | |
|---|---|---|
| Who it's for | Leads who will run the Applied AI Workshop with their own teams | Leads who coach, curate and connect without teaching the Workshop |
| Before | Your teams have run the Applied AI Workshop (required) | No prerequisite |
| Afternoon, part 3 | Leads facilitate a Workshop round for each other, then decide on facilitator training | Open space for the cohort's questions, plus more coaching practice |
| Price | Same | Same |
Three ways to run AI champions
Most champions programs stop at a title. The Accelerator adds the time, the rhythm and the numbers behind it.

Are you setting your AI lead up to fail?
| Volunteer champions | Programs that count agents | AI Leads Accelerator | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Who does the work | Enthusiasts, on top of the day job | Champions building agents for other teams | Named AI leads, with about five hours a week for the role |
| What gets counted | Show-and-tells and chat activity | Agents built and logins | People helped, patterns reused by other teams, and whether the lead wants to keep going |
| After it ends | It fades when the enthusiasts get busy | The spreading stops with the program | The group runs its own sessions, and the same network later carries governance and the agent lifecycle |
| Where it comes from | Whoever volunteered | The firm running it | The Hyperadaptive Model, from Melissa Reeve's book with IT Revolution |
Big firms do good work on the value case, and many run solid champions programs. The Accelerator fits alongside them. It gives the champions you already have a role, a rhythm and three numbers, so the spreading keeps going after the outside help leaves.
What the room makes
The Collision Map
Over lunch, the facilitator clusters every working pattern the cohort rewrote. The room confirms the clusters out loud and marks anything built twice. Most organizations have never seen all of these in one place.
Claim intake
Claim summary prompt Claims intake Built twice
Document summarizer Underwriting Built twice
Missing-information checklist Customer service
Connection Intake and underwriting, one summarizer. Committed by the claims intake AI lead.
Customer emails
Reply drafter Customer service
Tone check Marketing

Monthly operations summary Operations
Meeting prep
Agenda builder HR
Same thing built twice A connection one lead commits to make Example map, for illustration
A 30-day plan, said out loud.
Each lead fills in five fields while their own AI tool interviews them. The tool asks and pushes back once if an answer is vague, and the lead writes the plan. Then every lead says it to the room in 45 seconds. Week 6 checks the numbers against it.

Their workflow Sorting incoming claims by urgency each morning
The question underneath Do I have time for this?Will I look stupid?Does this even work?

Proof
From leaders who learned the model first
AI leaders from a global insurer, a Fortune 500 beverage company, a national logistics carrier and a global tech company have been through Running Hyperadaptive Organizations, the class built on the same model.
participant left the class having decided to turn a side-of-desk AI program into a funded function with named ownership and decision rights.
Testimonial
John Ford on Running Hyperadaptive Organizations
Make sure that your next move is going to really move the needle on what is your prime problem.
Taking the assessment, bringing in our current plan, then looking at the places we needed more ideas, where we needed to progress. And we collaborated.
I am so happy to be in this cohort. I don't want it to end. I am getting such great insights from you and the other cohort members.

- An online onramp, one full day, then three 60-minute sessions over six weeks
- Delivery
- Virtual or in person. In-person delivery adds travel and expenses, billed at cost.
- Group
- 6 to 12 AI leads. The group rate is the better value from 11.
- Facilitator training
- For teaching leads, a separate one-day enablement, scoped on its own
- Terms
- The proposal sets final scope and terms.

Next step: the 90-Day Activation HubQuestions about the AI Leads Accelerator
- We already ran a champions program. Is this a repeat?
- It builds on the one you ran. Your champions get a role, a plan and three numbers.
- Do we need the Applied AI Workshop first?
- Only if your leads will teach it. The teaching version includes a facilitation round and a decision about facilitator training.
- Can our leads run Applied AI Workshops afterward?
- After a separate one-day facilitator enablement, yes. The Accelerator gives each teaching lead a first run at facilitating and a decision about going further.
- Who facilitates?
- A Hyperadaptive delivery partner trained in the model, running Melissa's design.
