Executive AI Counsel · by Peak State

Lead on AI with your own judgement.

A year of private AI advisory for senior executives who are expected to have the answer. Each month we work through one decision AI puts in front of you, so you can lead the conversation in the boardroom and with your team.

Where executives get stuck

Six things senior leaders tell me privately. Tick the ones you have said.

Each one points to the month of the year that answers it.

Tick the ones you have said

Your answers point to where the year would start for you.

How it works

From a first conversation to decisions you can defend.

01

A kickoff session, just you

We map the AI decisions in front of you this year, and I turn them into a short plan you keep.

02

Twelve months, one decision each

A monthly session with peers from other organisations, a weekly radar on what changed, and a direct line when a call cannot wait.

03

Something to use every month

A measure, a policy, a board paper, a message to your team. Each session leaves you with the thing you need that week.

The year · twelve decisions

One decision a month, in the order you will meet them.

MONTH 01

What AI can do now, and what is coming

The capabilities most leaders do not expect yet, and what they change for your work, products and people.

You leave with: A map of what changes for you
MONTH 02

Agents on your team

When software does the work, who checks it, and who is accountable.

You leave with: Your rules for agent work
MONTH 03

What happens to roles, including yours

Fewer doers, more decision makers, and how to say so without frightening people.

You leave with: A roles conversation plan
MONTH 04

How you will know it is working

Measuring the return on AI, and why a usage dashboard says little about value.

You leave with: Two measures per use
MONTH 05

What is allowed

A use policy, a risk level for each use, and output you can stand behind.

You leave with: A one-page policy
MONTH 06

Who owns it

Decision rights, an AI council or not, and who runs the rollout.

You leave with: A named owner
MONTH 07

Buy, build or partner

The vendor questions and contract terms that matter, and what AI costs to run.

You leave with: Your vendor checklist
MONTH 08

What you tell the board

The questions directors ask, and how to stage bets so one failure is survivable.

You leave with: A board paper
MONTH 09

Telling agents what you want

Stating a goal, its limits and its test of success clearly enough to delegate.

You leave with: An intent template
MONTH 10

Bringing people with you

Getting the strategy past two levels down, and hearing what people really think.

You leave with: A cascade kit
MONTH 11

Setting the bar in your market

When work gets cheaper, demand grows, and whoever reinvests sets the standard.

You leave with: Your reinvestment bet
MONTH 12

Ethics, energy and real risks

Water, power and minerals, data rights, fairness, and the autonomy thresholds.

You leave with: Your risk position
Two ways in

Learn alongside peers, or work one-on-one.

Private advisory

One-on-one

  • A private session every week, on your agenda and your organisation's real decisions
  • Everything in the membership
  • Board papers, policies and team messages drafted with you
  • Confidential by default, with an NDA on request
  • Your chief of staff or a direct report at every session

Best if your situation is sensitive, your timeline is short, or you want to move faster than monthly.

The optional boot camp · four weeks

The basics, on your own work.

How it works. Prompts and context. Making it reliable. The words and the tools. Each week ends with something you made.

Your advisor

Hi, I'm Andrew.

I have spent twenty years helping leaders through change in government, banking and superannuation, as a program director, an enterprise coach and an AI specialist. Senior executives have come to me privately to get up to speed on AI, and I build with AI every day.

Executive AI Counsel is the program I wished those executives could have had: their own questions, answered privately, on the decisions in front of them that month.

In their words

His ability to translate emerging technology into practical use cases made AI accessible to people at all levels of the organisation.

Enterprise Agility Leader, Commonwealth Bank of Australia

I used key concepts from Andrew's training during a recent negotiation and in terms of dollars I estimate the outcome from that one conversation saved the organisation over $100,000.

Executive Manager, Queensland Government
A good fit
  • You lead an organisation, division or board that is adopting AI
  • You have to make or defend AI decisions in the next twelve months
  • You feel behind, and would rather catch up quietly
  • Your colleague or chief of staff can come along
Not the right fit
  • You want engineers to build the system for you
  • You prefer self-paced video with no live sessions
  • You need one workshop for a large group of staff (see For your teams)
Three ways to start

Pick whichever suits you.
