The Executive Diagnostic and Governance Toolkit

Leading AI Agents and Automation in 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.
The work that slips between systems isn’t inefficiency—it’s a silent tax on your team’s time and your organization’s compliance.

The situation this is built for

Every day, your team chases missing data, re-keys information across platforms, and routes documents to people who aren’t available. No single system owns it. No dashboard shows it. Yet you’re accountable when it fails. You know the work is breaking, but no one has mapped where automation now intervenes. Now agents act across web, fax, and phone—drafting controls, submitting eligibility checks, monitoring vendors—without waiting for approvals. You need to assess what they disrupt, what they require, and how to lead the transition without losing control.

Who this is for

Senior leaders responsible for compliance, healthcare operations, vendor risk, and cross-system workflows where no single team owns the end-to-end process.

Who this is not for

Individual contributors looking for technical AI training, developers building agent frameworks, or executives seeking vendor comparisons.

What you walk away with

  • Map where AI agents already operate in your function
  • Decide which tasks to preserve, automate, or redesign
  • Lead governance for agent-generated policies and controls
  • Align legal, privacy, and operations on agent use
  • Build a playbook for agent-augmented workflows

How this maps to your situation

  • You own a function where work moves between systems
  • No single team controls the end-to-end process
  • Agents are already acting in your workflows
  • You must decide what to preserve, change, or retire

Before vs. after

Before
Work slips between systems. You chase updates, re-key data, and respond to failures without a clear map of where automation now acts. Accountability is diffuse. Compliance is reactive. Your team is buried in handoffs.
After
You lead with clarity. You know where agents operate, what they require, and how to govern their outputs. You’ve built a playbook for sustainable automation, aligned stakeholders, and redefined roles for resilience and control.

What's included with your purchase

  • 12 modules with 12 chapters each (144 chapters)
  • Downloadable templates and worked examples for every module
  • Hand-built implementation playbook delivered alongside course access
  • 30-day money-back guarantee

Delivery and format

  • Course and learning environment access provisioned within 24 hours of purchase
  • Hand-built implementation playbook delivered alongside course access

Format: Text-based modules and chapters in the Art of Service learning environment, plus downloadable templates and worked examples for every chapter, plus the hand-built implementation playbook delivered alongside course access.

Time investment: Approximately 2 to 3 hours per module, designed for leaders to progress at their own pace with real-world application between modules.

If nothing changes
If you do not assess where agents already act in your workflows, you risk losing control of compliance, missing audit requirements, and failing to govern outputs you didn’t create but are still accountable for.

How this compares to the alternatives

Unlike technical AI courses or vendor-specific training, this course focuses exclusively on the leadership decisions, governance models, and workflow redesigns required when agents take over tasks you currently own. It does not teach coding, prompt engineering, or platform configuration.

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.
