Two-Day Accelerator
Basic training, governance, and strategy. In only two days.
This two-day AI accelerator gives your organization or cohort a focused path from AI literacy to actionable strategy. Day one builds understanding. Day two builds the framework and the plan. No technical background required. Just the clarity and confidence to move forward, responsibly.
Two days. Three objectives.
Day one creates a shared foundation your team needs to understand and navigate AI. Day two builds on that foundation to develop preliminary governance and strategy you can immediately put into action.
AI Training & Literacy
Build a shared understanding of what AI is, what it can and can't do, and how it applies to your work. We cover responsible AI principles, real-world examples from mission-driven organizations, and hands-on exploration tailored to your context. Everyone leaves day one on the same page.
Governance & Strategy
Turn understanding into action. We work together to draft a responsible AI governance framework for your organization and begin building a strategic roadmap: where AI fits, what to prioritize, what to avoid, and how to phase adoption in a way your team and stakeholders can stand behind.
For organizations or small cohorts ready to take AI seriously.
The accelerator works for individual organizations that want to move quickly and for small cohorts that want to build AI capacity together.
Individual Organizations
A single organization that wants to bring its team, leadership, or board through a focused two-day program. We tailor the content, examples, and exercises to your specific mission, context, and concerns.
Small Cohorts
Three to eight organizations going through the accelerator together. Often organized by funders, intermediaries, or membership associations. Cohort members share the experience and build peer connections while each organization develops its own governance and strategy.
Not just knowledge. Artifacts you can use.
The accelerator is designed to produce tangible outputs, not just training. Every participant leaves with materials they can share with their team, board, or stakeholders.
Shared AI Literacy
Your team walks away with a common understanding of AI, its capabilities and limitations, responsible AI principles, and how automation applies to your specific work. No more confusion about what AI is or what it can do.
Draft Governance Framework
A responsible AI policy and governance framework tailored to your organization. Includes responsible use guidelines, data handling considerations, human-in-the-loop requirements, and risk guardrails. Ready for leadership or board review.
Strategic Roadmap
A prioritized view of where AI fits in your organization, what to tackle first, what to avoid, and how to phase adoption over time. Grounded in your mission, values, and the realities of your team and budget.
Built for mission-driven organizations.
The accelerator reflects the same principles we bring to all of our work. Responsible AI is the baseline, not an add-on.
No technical background required.
Designed for executive directors, program staff, operations teams, and board members. We meet your team where they are and build from there.
Responsible AI as the foundation.
Human-in-the-loop design, data privacy, equity, and transparency are woven into every session. You don't learn AI first and add ethics later. They're the same conversation.
Tailored, not generic.
Every accelerator is customized to your organization or cohort. We use your context, your mission, and your concerns as the starting point, not a one-size-fits-all curriculum.
In person or virtual, your choice.
Based in Denver, we deliver the accelerator in person for Colorado organizations and virtually for organizations and cohorts across the country.
