AI Teaching Suite™

Practical tools to build your confidence and capability with generative AI – one step at a time.

Generative AI is more than a trend – it’s becoming a thinking partner. It helps leaders ask better questions, surface sharper insights, and work more effectively.

But where do you begin?

The AI Teaching Suite™ is a structured set of resources designed to help leaders, consultants, educators, and researchers move from AI curiosity to confident, impactful use.

Each post is practical, standalone – and together, they’re organised using the AI Capability Map™ – a quadrant-based model that guides your learning across four clear domains.

Whether you’re starting from scratch or expanding your toolkit, you’ll find a path that fits your needs.

Understanding the Learning Journey 

The AI Capability Map™ isn’t just a model – it reflects a natural progression in learning.

From early exploration to deep integration, each quadrant helps you build the skills, mindset, and insights needed to thrive with AI.

 Here is a summary of the four learning zones: 

Quadrant 1: Start Here – Build Confidence 

Start small. Stay safe. Build early confidence.

These posts are designed to help you take your first steps with clarity and curiosity – unlocking curiosity without overwhelm, and progress without pressure.

You’ll notice that most of the posts in Quadrant 1 focus on ChatGPT. That’s intentional. For many people, their first steps into generative AI happen through a conversational chatbot like ChatGPT – and OpenAI’s tool remains the most widely used entry point globally.

While these posts highlight ChatGPT – in particular, the paid version, ChatGPT Plus – the core learning applies to any large language model (LLM), including Claude (Anthropic), Gemini (Google), Grok (xAI), or DeepSeek (High-Flyer AI). The tools may vary – the underlying skills and mindsets don’t.

Quadrant 2: Build Capability 

You’ve found your footing. Now it’s time to apply what you’ve learned.

This is where AI shifts from curiosity to contribution – a genuine productivity partner helping you streamline tasks, save time, and support real work with real impact.

Quadrant 3: Think Bigger

You’ve put AI to work – now it’s time to shift how you think.

This quadrant invites you to go beyond tools and tasks. When you move from prediction to partnership, AI becomes a collaborator – opening space for deeper insight, creativity, and shared thinking.

Quadrant 4: Expand Your Toolkit

You’ve shifted your mindset – now it’s time to sharpen your methods.

This quadrant introduces more advanced techniques, like context engineering and smarter tool selection. The magic happens here – but only if you’ve walked the path.

This is where experimentation meets insight, and practice turns into mastery.

 Coming Soon: AI Insight & Impact

A new companion series is on the way. While the AI Teaching Suite™ focuses on practical how-to skills, this upcoming series explores the bigger questions – from ethics to economics, from education to the future of work.

Perfect for leaders, researchers, and curious thinkers who want to understand not just how to use AI – but why it matters.
