M42 designs and runs AI Team Acceleration Journeys — structured, hands-on learning experiences that build real AI capability across C-suite, management, and operational teams. Not workshops. Transformation.
"The most energizing AI learning experience our leadership team has ever had."
Chief Digital Officer — Global EnterpriseBelgium-based, driving AI-led transformation across global markets. We've built AI capability across C-suites, management layers, and frontline teams in some of Europe's most ambitious organizations — moving people from AI anxiety to AI confidence, one team at a time.
"Most firms sell AI awareness.
We build the muscle to act with AI — at every level."
Inspired by Aberkyn's field-and-forum approach — combining structured in-person sprints with on-the-job fieldwork — our AI Team Acceleration Journeys go far beyond slides. We start with a diagnostic, co-design the journey with you, then run immersive sessions where participants work with real AI tools on real business problems.
The result isn't just knowledge. It's aligned teams, shared mental models, and the organizational confidence to move — fast and responsibly.
Each journey is purpose-built for a specific audience — their fears, their language, their decisions. Topics span from foundational AI literacy to advanced enterprise applications. All journeys combine diagnostic, workshops, fieldwork, and a capstone to cement change.
A 2–3 day immersive sprint for the leadership team. You leave with a shared AI vision, a governance framework, and the conviction to lead your organization's AI transformation — without being a technologist.
A multi-session journey for managers who must lead AI-augmented teams. Combines strategic fluency with hands-on tool practice, workflow redesign, and people change skills — all grounded in real enterprise scenarios.
Practical, role-specific AI training for the people who do the actual work. No theory — just hands-on practice with real AI tools applied to real job tasks, building confidence and daily productivity from day one.
We assess your team's current AI maturity — skills, mindsets, current tool usage, risks, and strategic priorities. A short survey and leadership interviews shape the journey design.
We design the journey with you — not for you. Topics, format, pacing, and in-session examples are all calibrated to your industry, your team, and your actual strategic challenges.
Immersive in-person or virtual workshops. Participants work with real AI tools on real business scenarios — from C-suite strategy days to frontline upskilling sprints. Never generic. Always yours.
Between sessions, participants apply new skills to live work — with structured fieldwork assignments, peer challenges, and check-ins. Learning only sticks when it meets real stakes.
We embed capability that outlasts the journey — internal AI champions, shared prompt libraries, and optional follow-up sprints so momentum doesn't stop when we leave.
Each journey speaks the language of its audience — strategic framing for executives, workflow redesign for managers, hands-on tooling for practitioners. No one-size-fits-all decks.
Participants leave having actually used ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, and AI automation tools — on their own business challenges. Not simulations. Not demos. Real practice.
We don't arrive with a pre-built deck. We diagnose your starting point, your strategic context, and your team dynamics — then build the journey around what actually matters.
We agree on success metrics before we start — productivity indicators, capability assessments, adoption rates. And we track them. Because transformation without measurement is just a workshop.

"You can give teams every AI tool in the world. Without the right mental models, shared language, and confidence to act — nothing changes. Capability is the only lever that truly matters."Connect on LinkedIn
Organizations that deploy AI tools without building human capability are betting on a technology fix for a leadership problem. Here's why it always fails — and what to do instead.
