01 / The Premise

Your teams aren't short on AI tools. They're short on architecture. We teach your leaders to design the system, not chase the model.

Built for the two executives who own the revenue engine and the brand. The CRO and CMO learn to architect agentic workflows across their departments, safeguard IP and compliance, and prove the margin impact. Vendor-agnostic by design, so the judgment outlasts the tool.

02 / The Shape

One foundation, two focus areas

02 / 05

Seven lessons run shared, so the CRO and CMO build a common language and see both sides of the revenue engine. Three lessons split into role-specific breakouts where the stakes genuinely diverge: how you design the agents, how you guard the brand and the pipeline, and how you measure the return.

03 / The Curriculum

Ten lessons

03 / 05
01

From AI FOMO to AI Architecture

Reframe the executive's job from buying tools to architecting an operating system for the department. Set the outcome lens: velocity, margin, retention, brand integrity.

Shared
02

Mapping the Work Worth Automating

Inventory the workflows across pipeline, campaigns, content and customer success. Separate judgment-light from judgment-heavy, and decide where AI belongs and where it does not.

Shared
03

From Chat to Agents

The building blocks: assistants, scripted workflows, autonomous agents, and the difference between deterministic and probabilistic systems. The vocabulary to architect and to challenge a vendor.

Shared
04

Designing Teams of AI Agents

Treat agents as roles with defined skills, handoffs and oversight. Architected separately for the revenue org and the marketing org. See breakout below.

CRO + CMO
05

The Data Foundation

Your GTM AI is only as good as the CRM hygiene, attribution and voice-of-customer behind it. Diagnose garbage-in before it becomes an expensive mistake.

Shared
06

Brand, IP & Compliance Guardrails

The insurance policy. Auditability and human-in-the-loop as the default, mapped to NIST AI RMF and ISO 42001. See breakout below.

CRO + CMO
07

Redesigning Roles, Not Just Tasks

What the team does once agents absorb the rote work. Redeploy talent toward higher-judgment work, defeat shadow IT, and bring people along rather than threatening them.

Shared
08

Build, Buy, or Wait

A decision framework for a crowded, churning vendor landscape. Point solution versus platform versus build, with lock-in risk and optionality kept in plain view.

Shared
09

Measuring ROI

Instrument the bottom-line case and separate real impact from vanity metrics. Tuned to the metrics each leader is accountable for. See breakout below.

The 12-Month Architecture Roadmap

Synthesis and capstone. Each leader designs a phased plan: pilot, scale, govern. Run against the F3i Corporate Simulation Pack, so they leave with a real blueprint, not a notebook of concepts.

04 / The Breakouts

Where the paths split

04 / 05

At three points the room splits. Same framework, different stakes. The CRO architects for pipeline and revenue integrity. The CMO architects for brand and demand. They reconvene to compare blueprints.

Lesson 04

Designing Teams of AI Agents

Architecting an agentic function for the department
CRO lens

The agentic revenue function

  • Research and enrichment agents that brief reps before every touch
  • Qualification and routing agents that protect rep time
  • Forecasting and pipeline-hygiene agents with human sign-off
  • Handoffs between SDR, AE and customer success, designed as a chain
CMO lens

The agentic content engine

  • Research and brief agents that set strategy before a draft exists
  • Production agents for variation, localization and repurposing at scale
  • Distribution and orchestration agents across channels
  • An editorial review gate that keeps a human between draft and publish
Lesson 06

Brand, IP & Compliance Guardrails

The insurance policy, role by role
CRO lens

Protecting the revenue motion

  • Claims accuracy and approval trails on AI-assisted outreach
  • Privacy and consent posture in prospecting and enrichment
  • Regulated-industry messaging controls where they apply
  • Auditability on anything an agent sends on the rep's behalf
CMO lens

Protecting the brand

  • Brand voice integrity across machine-generated content
  • Hallucination risk in anything customer-facing
  • IP containment: what may and may not enter a model
  • Disclosure and rights posture on AI-assisted creative
Lesson 09

Measuring ROI

The metrics each leader defends
CRO lens

Revenue impact

  • Pipeline velocity and stage conversion
  • Win rate and average cycle time
  • Cost of acquisition and rep capacity reclaimed
  • Forecast accuracy as a governance signal
CMO lens

Demand and brand impact

  • Content throughput and time-to-publish
  • Cost per qualified lead and pipeline contribution
  • Attribution clarity across the funnel
  • Brand lift and share of voice, measured not assumed
05 / Beyond the Classroom

Bring it in-house

05 / 05

Run the series as a private cohort for your revenue and marketing leadership, tuned to your stack and your market. Then continue past the room. Our advisory team can architect and stand up the systems your leaders designed, under the same governance posture taught in the lessons.

Step 01

The Executive Series

Ten lessons, shared spine, CRO and CMO breakouts. Your leaders leave fluent in architecture and governance, with a draft blueprint in hand.

Step 02

Private In-House Cohort

The series delivered to your team alone, calibrated to your CRM, your content stack, your compliance reality and your market. Worked against your context, not a generic template.

Step 03 · Advisory

Advanced Architecture & Implementation

An optional advisory engagement to architect, build and govern the agentic workflows your leaders designed. The classroom blueprint becomes a running system, with auditability intact.

The advisory and the implementation are distinct products. We teach the architecture first, then build it only if it earns its place. No lock-in, no vendor allegiance, no system you cannot audit.

The next step

Start with a 90-minute executive briefing.

A tightly packed session on ROI, risk and data governance, then a clear read on which lessons your leaders need first.
