Claude for CxO — Applied Futures bootcamp

Who it's for.

Built for one audience, not everyone at once.

  • Founders, executives, and senior leaders setting the AI direction for their organisation.
  • Decision-makers who need judgment about AI, not necessarily hands on the keyboard.
  • Leaders preparing board narratives, strategy, and governance for the AI shift.
  • Anyone accountable for whether AI adoption actually lands across their teams.

What you'll learn.

Specific topics — built with on the day, not lectured at you.

Strategy Memos

Use Claude to pressure-test strategy and write sharper, faster memos.

Board Prep

Turn scattered inputs into board-ready narratives and decks.

Governance

Set sensible, practical guardrails for AI use across your organisation.

90-day Roadmap

Leave with a concrete plan for the next quarter of AI adoption.

How the day runs.

Four short loops. No lectures.

01 Setup

Tools that just work.

Doors at 09:30. Console accounts checked, Claude Code installed, your scenario chosen by 10:00. No fighting with your environment.

02 Patterns

What the 5% actually do.

Operating manuals, plan-mode loops, skill files, lessons.md. The exact patterns that scaled inside the teams who made it stick.

03 Build

Hands on your real problem.

Half the day is you building, with help when you're stuck and a peer next to you working through the same kind of thing.

04 Ship

Working prototype, working manual.

Demo in the room before we wrap. You leave with both running on your laptop — and a small group you'll keep building with.

What you take home.

Things you can use Monday morning. Not certificates.

01 Operating manual

Your CLAUDE.md, started.

An embarrassingly short manual you can commit to your most important repo before you leave the room. Build, test, hard rules, one ritual.

02 Prompt & skill library

Tested, not theoretical.

Prompts and reusable skills that worked for the scenarios you brought, paired with the ones that didn't and a one-line lesson on each.

03 Hands-on reps

Hours, not minutes.

The day is built around the practice loop. Most of it is you, building, with help when you're stuck and a peer next to you for the same.

04 Peer network

Builders, not strangers.

The cohort is the durable part. You leave with people you'd Slack about a stuck workflow tomorrow, not just a slide deck.

Upcoming cohorts.

Pulled live from Luma. Sign-up and payment go through the event page.

Before you arrive.

Ten minutes the day before. Saves an hour day-of.

01

A leadership remit

You set or shape AI direction for a team, function, or company.

02

A live question

A current strategic decision or roadmap you're wrestling with.

03

A laptop

An Anthropic account is helpful but not required — we keep the tooling light.

Questions.

The short answers. Reach out if anything else.

Do I need coding experience?
No. This day is about judgment, strategy, and governance — the hands-on parts stay light and decision-focused.
How big are the cohorts?
Capped to keep the room hands-on. Each Luma event page lists the seat count for that cohort — book early when a date matters.
What's included?
Coffee, lunch, drinks, and the full materials (operating-manual template, prompt library, skill files). Sign-up and payment go through Luma, so the day's logistics stay simple.
Where is it?
Matrikel1, Copenhagen — or a similar venue announced per cohort. In-person only for now; we'll add online cohorts when there's demand.
Can I cancel?
Refunds and rescheduling are handled by Luma per their standard terms — check the event page when you book.

Your teachers.

Two people in the room with you, building alongside.
