Each member of a management team now arrives at a meeting with an answer from their own AI assistant. This workshop teaches a team to use AI to prepare a decision faster, and then to decide together on the evidence: who owns the decision, who must be consulted, and what the team records.
Department heads and the teams that decide together: management teams, project boards and committees below board level. Run for a team that already works together.
Half day or one day for one team, and a certification edition.
In person, led by a facilitator, with decision practice on StepSim, the AIR APAC simulator.
Record of Completion for everyone. An optional, separate assessment can lead to an AIR APAC credential.
Status: designed, not yet delivered. Available to commission for your group. Case files and materials are completed for the first group that confirms.
When each member of a team brings an answer from their own AI assistant, a meeting becomes a contest between confident drafts. The team agrees too quickly, or argues about wording, and no one checks the claim each draft rests on.
AI also makes it easy to act alone: past one's authority, before the people who must agree, and without saying that AI drafted the work. A team decision needs a named owner, the right people consulted, and a record of why.
Most AI courses teach either how to use the tools or the risks of using them. This programme does both on the same task, in the same session.
Half day or one day, for one team that already works together, not a mix of strangers. The team plays a StepSim Practice mission together its usual way, works through cases, and closes with an unseen mission of the same kind.
In the cases the team uses an AI assistant its organisation permits to prepare the decision, then runs the meeting on what it has checked.
The team leaves with one agreed change to how it decides when AI is in the work, with an owner and a date.
Each facilitated edition opens with a StepSim Practice mission played the participant’s usual way and closes with an unseen one of the same kind. The programme formats page describes the half day, the one day, the two days and the certification edition.
Half day or one day for one team, and a certification edition.
Composite team decisions written for the programme: a product launch that may need to slip, a budget cut shared across units, a change of a key supplier. Any AI tool in a case has "AI" in its name.
All four domains, with most weight on Engage: Decision Rights and Escalation (E1), Stakeholder Alignment and Disclosure (E2), together with Problem Framing (S1), Assumption and Alternative Testing (T2) and Proportionate Commitment (P1).
The half day ends with a written session report. The one day ends with a transfer file that goes back to the desk. The two days end with a transfer workshop, a report for the sponsor, and a manager review within ten working days.
An example written for this page, in the style of the programme's cases. The organisations, people, figures and AI tools are fictional.
A management team must decide whether to delay a product launch by six weeks. Three members each bring a recommendation drafted with a different AI tool.
| Member | AI tool | Recommendation | Main reason given |
|---|---|---|---|
| Head of sales | "PitchAI" | Launch on time | A competitor launches in four weeks |
| Head of product | "PlanAI" | Delay six weeks | Two open quality defects |
| Head of finance | "LedgerAI" | Launch on time | A competitor launches in four weeks; delay costs the quarter |
In the StepSim Practice missions, the facilitator looks at how people decide, not at whether they reached a particular answer. For an exercise like this one:
This is practice evidence from the session. It shows what changed in how the group checked AI work during the programme; it is not proof of better results at work, and Practice never counts toward certification.
For a first delivery, the lead facilitator is Indhran Seghar, director of AIR APAC Pte. Ltd. and the author of AIRS-J/1, the standard this programme is built on. Later deliveries may be led by a training provider's facilitator, named in the proposal.
AIR APAC certifies facilitators under section 20.6 of AIRS-J/1. No facilitator holds that certification yet, because the first facilitator cohort has not run. If your organisation needs a trainer accredited under a national training framework, say so in your request; we will tell you plainly whether it can be met.
| What | What it is | In this programme |
|---|---|---|
| Record of Completion | A record, issued by AIR APAC, of what the person attended and practised. It carries no score or level. | Included for everyone who completes. |
| AIRS-J/1 certification, Professional track | AIR APAC’s own credential for judgment in AI-enabled work, under a published standard. Verified free by code on a public register, valid for two years. No regulator, university or professional body recognises it, and no certifying sitting has run yet. | Optional. The certification edition adds a separate half-day assessment sitting within 30 days of the programme. Attending the programme does not count toward the result. |
| A qualification from an outside professional body | A qualification, or continuing professional development hours, from a professional body in your field. | Not offered. It would need an arrangement with that body, which does not exist today. |
StepSim is a decision simulator, an AIR APAC initiative built and operated by Exeter Labs. Participants play short workplace missions in which AI tools give advice, and they decide what to do. STEP is the method every AIR Academy programme teaches: four questions a person asks before acting on an AI answer (Structure, Test, Engage, Perform). AIRS-J/1 is the AIR APAC standard for judgment in AI-enabled work, which defines those four areas.
The cases are written for the programme and can be set in your sector and your country’s rules; say which in your request. Cases about your own organisation are used only with its written consent. Programmes are delivered in English today; if your group needs another language, say so, and we will tell you plainly whether it can be arranged.
The facilitated editions are led in the room. The half day is built for 15 to 30 people; group size for the longer editions is agreed in the proposal. Whether a live online edition is possible is also agreed in the proposal.
The price is quoted per group in the proposal. It depends on the edition, the number of participants, the location, and whether the certification edition is included. No price is published. The programme is designed but has not yet been delivered: case files and materials are completed for the first group that confirms, so the earliest date is agreed in the proposal.
No. The exercises use fictional case files. Where participants work on their own tasks, they use only an AI tool their organisation permits for that information, remove identifying and confidential details first, or use a fictional version instead. Nothing they show in the session is kept or recorded, and it is never used for certification. Your organisation receives these conditions before the programme starts.
Each edition opens with a Practice mission played the usual way and closes with an unseen one of the same kind, so the group can see what changed in how it checked AI work. The half day ends with a written session report. The one day ends with a transfer file that goes back to the desk. The two days end with a transfer workshop, a report for the sponsor, and a manager review within ten working days. This is evidence from the programme, not proof of better results at work.
Not on its own. Everyone who completes receives a Record of Completion. Participants who take a certification edition can earn AIRS-J/1 certification, issued by AIR APAC; no regulator, university or professional body recognises it. See the credentials table.
AIR Academy programmes are delivered through training providers, who own the client relationship and invoice the client. For a first delivery AIR APAC provides the programme design, the case files, StepSim Practice missions and the lead facilitator. The fit to your client, the subject co-facilitator and the commercial terms are agreed directly; no terms are published. Facilitators who want to run StepSim sessions in their own programmes can join the facilitator programme.
