The Executive Diagnostic and Governance Toolkit

Lead AI Automation Strategy for Enterprise Operations

Score your own function red, amber or green, find out which part is weakest, and walk into the next budget round able to defend what you want to fix. Built for leaders reviewing the routing, chasing and re-keying between systems that nobody owns.

$199 one-time
30-day money-back guarantee Verified against latest insights, updated access provided within 24h

Each order is checked and updated against the latest insights before delivery. That is why access takes up to 24 hours rather than being instant.

What you walk out with
A scored, ranked picture of your own function, and a defensible answer to what to fix first.
1 You stop guessing where you stand.
You finish with a score, not an opinion: every part of your function rated red, amber or green, with the weakest ranked first. Evidence: a Quick Scan for the shape of it, then seven domain assessments of 30 scored questions each, 210 in all, rolled into one scorecard, plus a maturity radar and a current-versus-target gap analysis.
2 You can defend the decision.
You walk into the budget round with the gap named, the owner named and done defined, instead of a case built on instinct. Evidence: project charter, scope statement, RACI, requirements traceability and work breakdown structure, pre-filled in your domain's language.
3 The work actually moves.
The month after the decision is already built, so nothing stalls waiting for someone to design a form. Evidence: more than 60 project templates across all five PMBOK process groups, plus runbooks, SOPs, a KPI framework, audit checklists and a risk matrix. 55 to 65 files in total.
4 You use it the day it lands.
No blank templates to interpret. Every workbook opens with what it is, who uses it, when, how, a 1 to 5 scoring guide, what good looks like, and a worked example you delete and type over.
The Quick Scan is one sitting. You will know your weakest area before the day is out.
Nothing in it is generic project management: the build rejects any file that could belong to another course. Updated after you enrol, so it reflects where the work stands now. The 144-chapter course is included behind it, for the parts you want to go deeper on.
You own the work that falls between systems—routing, chasing, re-keying—where no single team takes responsibility.

The situation this is built for

Every day, your team manages handoffs across platforms that don’t speak to each other. Intake from web, fax, and phone must be manually entered, validated, and pushed through compliance checks. Prior authorizations stall. Vendor assessments sit incomplete. Work gets lost in the gaps. You’re expected to ensure quality and speed, but the tools and ownership are fragmented. Now, AI agents are emerging that act across these very touchpoints—autonomously completing tasks, pre-filling forms, and maintaining compliance. You need to know what this means for your function, not in theory, but in practice.

Who this is for

Senior leader responsible for operational integrity in complex, regulated environments—such as healthcare operations, compliance, risk, or enterprise services—where work spans disconnected systems and accountability is shared.

Who this is not for

Individual contributors looking for technical AI build skills, vendors selling automation tools, or leaders focused only on digital transformation at the strategic level without operational ownership.

What you walk away with

  • Map existing operational workflows vulnerable to AI automation
  • Identify tasks where AI agents reduce error and improve speed
  • Evaluate control points requiring human oversight
  • Design governance for agent-driven compliance
  • Lead organizational adaptation to agentic workflows

How this maps to your situation

  • You are responsible for workflows that span disconnected systems
  • You manage processes involving manual data re-entry and chasing
  • You are accountable for compliance in high-risk operations
  • You must lead adaptation without direct control over all systems

Before vs. after

Before
Work slips between systems, teams chase missing information, and compliance relies on memory and spreadsheets. You’re accountable but lack control.
After
AI agents handle routing, data capture, and compliance checks. You lead oversight, governance, and continuous improvement with clarity and authority.

If nothing changes
Without deliberate leadership, AI agents will be deployed in silos, creating new fragmentation, compliance blind spots, and erosion of trust in operational integrity.

How this compares to the alternatives

Unlike vendor-led training or generic AI courses, this program focuses exclusively on the operational realities of leading agentic transformation where work crosses systems and ownership is shared. It does not teach coding or promote specific tools—it builds strategic clarity and leadership capability.

Also included: the full course, for when you want the reasoning behind a finding (12 modules, 144 chapters)

Depth reference. The diagnostic and the templates stand on their own; this is what to read when you want the reasoning behind a finding.
