AI-Ready Leadership
AI literacy for the people who decide where the centre goes next: what changes, what to redesign and how to make the case to HQ.
- Site leaders, directors, N-1s
- 1 day + optional sprints
Ownership and Mandate Transfer
For leaders taking over work from HQ: plan the transition, transfer knowledge, manage risk and prove the centre is ready.
- Delivery and programme leaders
- Workshop + playbook
- Workshop, playbook, coaching
Who it’s for
- Delivery and programme leaders taking on work from HQ
- Transition managers and PMO leads
- Site leaders preparing a case for a larger mandate
The challenge
Winning a new mandate is only the start. Transitions slip when knowledge transfer is shallow, risks are not surfaced early and HQ teams are unsure the centre is ready to run the work alone.
This programme gives transition leaders a shared method and a playbook they can reuse, so each transfer is faster and builds HQ’s confidence for the next one.
What participants will be able to do
- Plan a transition through shadow, reverse shadow and independent phases
- Run knowledge transfer that captures how work is really done, not only the documents
- Identify, track and manage transition risk with HQ counterparts
- Prove readiness to HQ with clear evidence and exit criteria
Modules
The core modules. We adjust emphasis, cases and sequencing to your centre after the diagnostic.
What separates transitions that build trust from those that damage it.
Shadow, reverse shadow and independent operation, with entry and exit criteria for each.
Capturing tacit knowledge, decisions and context, not only process documents.
