Business transformation with AI

We develop leaders and teams who can transform their companies with AI.

Escola de CAIO prepares people to apply AI to real work, change processes and decisions, and generate observable results. From a single area to the entire company.

When people change the way they work, the company changes with them.

Four fronts where transformation shows up: in the work, in the capability built and in the results that become observable.

What changesRoutines are reviewed and simplified in real work. What staysPeople learn to recognize and improve new uses.

What does your company need to move forward with AI?

Your team needs to make better use of the AI it already has.

Why CAIO? AI transformation needs direction.

CAIO is the leadership that connects strategy, people, operations, technology and results. Escola de CAIO can develop, guide, put in place or exercise that leadership.

Not every engagement develops a CAIO. Many people will lead change within their own roles.

Map processes with Tracy. Learn and apply AI with the One Community.

Tracy · Process mapping

From real work to a process ready to improve.

The people who do the work record it and explain it. Tracy organizes the evidence, builds the diagnosis and proposes improvements. The process owner confirms what holds up.

  • Narrated recordings, documents and spreadsheets become the source of the mapping.

  • SIPOC, swimlanes, VSM, Service Blueprint and BPMN of the same process, with each step linked to its source.

  • Basic, Intermediate and Advanced, with assumptions, controls and implementation steps.

  • Nothing becomes the official version until the process owner confirms it.

Frequently asked questions

Is this just training?

No. Development happens in connection with real work. Depending on the need, Escola de CAIO can train, advise, help choose, implement or lead.

Do I need to start with the whole company?

No. You can start with one area, learn from what works and move forward based on the evidence.

Do you also help with implementation?

Yes, when that is the right scope. The first conversation identifies the result, the conditions and the responsibility required.

Which path is right for my company?

You don't need to arrive with that answer. The conversation starts from your challenge and shows whether it makes more sense to develop an area, transform a real challenge or have ongoing direction.

What is the One Community?

It is Escola de CAIO's community. It currently has a waitlist: you can join for yourself or register your interest in bringing your team.
