AI Mission Lab

A Shared Mission. Real Competence with Claude.

In one focused four-hour session, you step into a running business simulation and learn to work with Claude — hands on, on messy data and real decisions. You leave started, oriented, and unblocked.

The AI Mission Lab runs by invitation, in small groups of maximum 10 participants.

Don't Figure Out AI Alone

Guided live practice with Claude. Your questions answered the moment they arise, not in a forum three days later.

Practise Before the Stakes Are Real

Afraid of costly AI missteps? Test your decisions in a safe, interactive simulation — where mistakes teach you, not cost you.

Your Expertise Is Far From Obsolete

Afraid AI is leaving you behind? Your hard-won expertise is exactly what makes AI work — and you do not even have to write code.

Walk Away With More Than Notes

You leave with Claude already working on something of yours, and a clear picture of your next step.

Why the AI Mission Lab is Different

  • You leave with an AI Mission Brief — a one-page plan applying what you learned to a process you own: where Claude fits, where your judgment leads, and your first next step.
  • An interactive simulation, not slides, where you can explore a craft house with its people, its data, and a decision on the table. Try different solutions and understand their impact, in a safe environment, without costly mistakes.
  • Your own work in the final hour — you apply what you learned to a process you own.
  • Small by design: ten seats maximum, live guidance throughout. 

The AI Mission Lab is for you if….

You're an experienced professional looking to leverage your experience with AI. And you'd rather not explore it alone. The Mission Lab is built for a small group — colleagues, a leadership team, or ten professionals who simply want to figure this out together. Does this sound like you?

  • "I want to be ready for the speed of AI — to understand how it works and where it fits at work." — Program Director
  • "I use AI daily in my job, but I'm left to my own devices." — Senior Implementation Consultant, Software
  • "The courses I find are high-level, beginner, 'how to prompt' content. I want something more advanced." — SAAS Professional
  • "I want to gain confidence using AI in my work — I'm not fully comfortable with the technology yet." — Director of Certification, Regulatory Body
  • "My challenge is translating AI concepts into practical, day-to-day applications in my role."— Executive, Consulting

The AI Mission Lab works because it's an advanced simulation with a shared goal — you learn through action, not slides. And it's shared: you compare approaches, see how others read the same problem, and different perspectives produce better decisions — which is what makes it genuinely useful team-building, not an escape room with a projector. And it starts with the expertise already in the room.

The AI Mission Lab in Action

One four-hour live session, small group, fully hands-on. You'll receive a short primer beforehand so we start right away.

Hour 1 — Into the World. Step into the simulation, meet the situation, and learn to read the work through the AI Mission Brief.

Hour 2 — The Data. Put Claude to work on the company's real, messy records — and draw conclusions from information that never comes clean.

Hour 3 — The Build. Go hands-on with Claude against the simulation's central decision, and see what your calls produce.

Hour 4 — Your Work. Turn everything on a process you own, and leave with Claude set up around it and your next step defined.

 

Session Content

  • Navigating Claude: chats, Projects, and organising your work
  • Briefing with context: documents, background, constraints
  • Analysing real, messy data conversationally
  • Iterating: challenging outputs and redirecting instead of accepting
  • Knowing when to trust Claude and when your judgment leads
  • Understanding Agentic AI: what AI Agents are and what they change
  • Delegating multi-step work to an agent with Claude Cowork
  • Using Skills: giving Claude reusable instructions for recurring work
  • Connecting Claude to your other tools: files, spreadsheets, and apps
  • Producing usable artefacts: summaries, analyses, briefs
  • Writing your own AI Mission Brief

Bring AI to your hardest calls

Without the risk of learning on the job.

An Advanced Interactive Simulation to Learn Claude

 

First the simulation, then your own work — sure of when to trust AI and when to rely on your own judgment.

This isn’t a case study you read. It’s a world you step into and act in — with its people, its data, and decisions that don’t come with a tidy right answer, because real work never does. And your decisions have consequences. Make a call, and you see what it produces — and why. Not a grade but an outcome, explained.

Why a fictional company?

The simulation is set outside your own field on purpose — a small craft house facing a very real dilemma. But it's built on the AI challenges that recur across every industry and role: messy data, competing priorities, knowing where to trust AI and where judgment must lead. Whether your world is jewellery, retail, finance, or healthcare, the thinking transfers directly. 

AI-Powered Features

What makes the world come alive

✔ Dig into real, messy data. Explore the company's actual financials, sales, and records — incomplete and imperfect, the way real data always is. You practise drawing sound conclusions from information that never comes perfectly clean.

✔ Read the real documents. Work from the genuine artefacts of a living company — the acquisition offer on the table, board notes, an artisan's letter, a market report — not a tidy one-page summary.

✔ See the impact of your decisions. When you make a call, the simulation shows you what likely happens next — and explains why. You learn from the consequences, safely, before the stakes are ever real.

✔ Test your proposals against a realistic model: A working model of the business. Behind the simulation sits a carefully built model of how the company actually works — how its craft, its people, its clients, and its finances all affect one another. When you propose a course of action, you can run it through this model and see the likely ripple effects across the whole business, over time. It's the difference between guessing whether an idea would work and seeing how it plays out in a system that behaves like the real thing.

Meet Carlos

I've spent decades building interactive learning worlds and turning that craft into a structured way of finding where AI belongs in real work. With an MBA and a PhD in educational technology, I've taught AI and technology to professionals and university students across four countries, trained teams from companies like Amazon, PwC, and McKinsey, as well as government agencies, and built AI tools inside real organisations. I've presented my work on learning and simulation at leading conferences across North America, Latin America, and Europe, including at Harvard. My research on AI in learning earned a Special Distinction from the British Journal of Educational Technology. I work with these tools every day — and I'll be guiding you through this experience myself.
