A straight answer about AI, built for how you actually run your business.
A 90-minute working session with Rick Hancock. You leave with two AI use cases, a governance boundary you can defend, and a 30-day plan. No decks. No fluff. No off-the-shelf template.
Who this is for
Owner-operators running 2 to 50 person businesses
Leaders whose team is already using ChatGPT ad hoc
Regulated or trust-sensitive work: healthcare, insurance, professional services
You want two clear plays, not a 60-slide strategy deck
What happens in the 90 minutes
- 1
Where you actually are (15 min)
We map how your team already uses AI, what is working, what is exposed.
- 2
Two use cases worth building (35 min)
We pick two concrete plays for your business. Not theory. Something you can pilot inside 30 days.
- 3
Governance boundary (20 min)
What data is off-limits. What decisions AI can and cannot make. A single page you can hand to your team.
- 4
30-day plan (20 min)
Owner, first step, deadline, success signal. You leave with it written down.
What you walk away with
Two scoped AI use cases
Written up in plain language, sized for your team.
A governance boundary
One page. What data, what decisions, what limits.
A 30-day pilot plan
Owner, first step, deadline, success signal.
A recording and written summary
So the whole team can act on it, not just the person in the room.
Then you take the plan, or I build it.
Some clients leave with the 30-day plan and run it themselves. That is a good outcome and the workshop is priced for it. Others would rather it were built, monitored, and kept alive. That is a separate engagement, and your workshop fee comes off it.

The full curriculum
The AI Direction Workshop is the third of three 90-minute workshops Rick runs with owner-operators. Two more are on the schedule, and you can add yourself to the notify list on the form below. The fourth rung is not a workshop at all: it is the build.
AI Tools Mastery
Foundational · 90 min
From tool confusion to a clear mental model of five AI categories: text, image, audio, video, and action-based, with hands-on reps in each.
Prompt Engineering
Intermediate · 90 min
From ad hoc ChatGPT use to the PRO-MPT framework and reusable prompt systems built on your actual work.
AI Direction Workshop
Advanced · 90 min
Two scoped AI use cases, a governance boundary you can defend, and a 30-day plan owner-operators can act on.
AI Operating System
Done-for-you build · engagement
The rung above the workshops. Rather than leaving with the 30-day plan, the plan gets built and run for you, with monitoring and rollback from the first agent.
