WorkDynamics · AI Command Foundations
AI changes the work. Lead the response.
An online course that puts leaders in command of the AI conversation — the literacy baseline that equips you to evaluate agentic systems on the Microsoft AI stack, ask the right questions, and lead credibly when AI lands on your function.
Command of the conversation — not the system.

When AI lands on your function, the conversation starts without you.
The vendor arrives with a deck. IT arrives with a platform preference. Your CFO arrives with a question about the Copilot seats. And the person accountable for the function — you — is expected to sign, without a defensible way to evaluate what's being proposed.
That's the gap this course closes. A single, shared baseline of AI literacy at leadership level — so when AI-driven change hits your function, you can engage the decision rather than defer it to vendors or IT.
What's been rationed — and what releases now
Pre-AI work ran on four scarcities. Judgment was never one of them.
Every function has rationed the same four things — not because they weren't valuable, but because there was never enough human capacity to spend them everywhere.
Deliberation
Every case, not just some
Careful consideration went only to the cases that could bear the cost. Digital Labour puts deliberation on every case.
Attention
Every file, not the queue
Attention went only to what reached the top of the queue. Agents hold attention on every file, around the clock.
Trust
A record, not a gap
Delegation was limited by what could be supervised. Agentic systems keep a record of every act — bounded, gated, on the record.
Initiative
Upstream, not waiting
Work waited to be assigned because no one was watching for it. Agents take initiative upstream of the inbox — before you ask.
Judgment was never the scarce input — and it doesn't move. It stays with you.
What you'll be able to do
Evaluate agentic systems. Ask the right questions. Lead credibly.
A literacy baseline for the leadership layer — built exclusively on the Microsoft AI stack: Copilot, Copilot Studio, Power Platform, Dataverse.
What this course is
The working knowledge to read an agentic proposal, test its governance, size its cost, and represent your function's response to senior leadership — including one guided, hands-on build exercise, so you know what building actually involves.
What it isn't
Not tool training, and not developer training. You won't learn to build and run agents in production — you'll learn to command the people and systems that do.
Who it's for — and what you leave with
Built for leaders — technical and non-technical — on one shared baseline.
Who this is for
Non-technical leaders
You're accountable for a function, and AI is landing on it. You need to evaluate what's proposed, govern it, and answer for it — no technical background assumed, none required.
Technical leaders
You run the platform side. You need the leadership layer speaking the same language — capabilities, governance, cost — so good proposals stop dying in translation.
What you walk away with
- Read any agentic proposal and know exactly what to probe — capabilities, governance, human gates.
- Hold your own in the cost conversation — licensing, capacity, and why agents price differently to seats.
- Use Copilot safely and well yourself — set up, verified, in your daily work.
- Know what building actually involves — one guided, hands-on agent build.
- A shared vocabulary with IT, vendors and the board — the Spectrum, the capabilities, the governance model.
- Your own AI activation plan — mapped and sequenced in the final module.
The curriculum
Seven modules. 50+ lessons. One shared baseline.
Understanding AI: A Foundation for Everyone
The AI Work Spectrum, Digital Labour, the four scarcities, and the Twenty Agentic Capabilities — the frame everything else hangs on.
The Confident AI User
Microsoft Copilot set up and used safely; verifying outputs; AIM prompting; licensing, capacity and cost models.
Meet Your Digital Colleagues
How agents work, how they're orchestrated, and the capabilities that govern how they decide, act — and stop.
AI with Integrity
Governance, observability, human-in-the-loop, risk and responsible AI — and what Microsoft 365 E7 changes.
Under the Hood
Power Platform, Dataverse, Copilot Studio, MCP, Work IQ, Agent 365 and RAG — including the guided agent build.
Applications
Injury Guard AI and Safe Havens AI, worked end to end as deployed systems.
Activation
Your AI activation plan — mapped, sequenced, and ready to run.
Meet Vantis
Your rehearsal room, grounded in the course and nothing else.
Vantis is a teaching agent inside AI Command Foundations, grounded in the course and nothing else. It's your own agent, working from the course material — the rehearsal room where you practise interrogating an agentic system, overlaid onto your own function, before you have to do it in front of a vendor.
Ask it questions, unpack any concept, push back on anything that doesn't sit right. Bring your own work stories and business issues to the table, and get instant, personalised feedback grounded in what the course actually teaches — not generic advice.
How every lesson is built
Designed to be worked, not watched.
Every lesson follows the same discipline — you always know what you're getting, what it costs you in time, and what you'll do with it.
Before you start
Sized and tagged up front
Every lesson opens with what you'll learn, who it's for, and an honest time estimate. Most run 25–30 focused minutes.
Read
Plain English, real functions
Structured teaching with worked examples drawn from injury management, government, and professional services — not abstract tech-talk.
Reflect
Applied to your own role
A practical exercise on your actual work, with a clear “you're done when.” Ten minutes that make the lesson yours.
Check
Scenario questions, answered
Every lesson closes with realistic scenarios — and model answers — so you can test your understanding before moving on.
Take it further
An optional stretch
A five-minute exercise to put the idea to work with a colleague or your team before the next lesson.
It compounds
Each lesson feeds the next
Your Spectrum map, your reflections, your notes — the course carries them forward as raw material for your activation plan.
It ends with an artefact, not a certificate wall: the AI Activation Checklist.
The final module hands you a 51-item checklist across 8 areas, and walks you through building your own activation plan from everything you've mapped along the way — so you leave with a sequenced plan for your function, not just a completed course.
Taught on production systems
Not hypotheticals. Deployed systems, worked end to end.
Module 6 walks two production deployments — the governance, the human oversight, and the adoption work as it actually happened.
Injury Guard AI · workers' compensation
Casework carried by agents, judgment held by people
Triage, risk assessment, return-to-work planning, and dynamic checklists — agentic case management inside a regulated function, with the human core protected.
Safe Havens AI · safeguarding
A hard checkpoint no agent can waive
Sensitive intake and allegation classification, built around a mandatory-reporting checkpoint that stays with humans by design.
This is what “bounded, gated, on the record” looks like in production — and what you'll be equipped to ask of any system proposed to you.
