Academy

Senior track ยท Digital empowerment

Already in the field, and buried in to-dos?

For people who are established in the field: you have run a project or secured funding, or worked in an organisation or community, and want to refine your skills to be more efficient and effective.

Squeeze the busywork out of everything you already manage, with AI and good tools, so your time goes back to the field.

Where you start

Projects, people, reports, monitoring, follow-ups, funding, conversations and channels, all at once.

How it feels

Accelerator-like: change how your own work runs, side by side with others doing the same.

What you leave with

Time back for the field, and a team that works digitally.

What's inside

  1. Where your time goes

    See all your to-dos in one view, and pick what to hand to AI and tools first.

  2. Complex projects, under control

    Plans, milestones and who does what in one place, instead of scattered across your inbox.

  3. People and conversations

    Meetings, talks and team coordination with AI notes, summaries and follow-ups, under simple rules for what AI may see.

  4. Reports and monitoring

    Collect what you need once, keep it current as you go, and stop building every report from scratch.

  5. Funding and follow-up

    Keep funders, deadlines and promises in view, and let reminders and drafts do the chasing.

  6. Engagement and channels

    Plan and schedule your social channels, and keep up with your community in less time.

  7. Story and reach, in the age of AI

    Make stories of your work that people want to pass on, and let AI help one story travel further, while you keep the voice and the facts.

    • Find the people in your work and tell their stories, with their consent.
    • Adapt one story to many formats and channels with AI.
    • Check what AI writes, keep your own voice, and say when it helped.
  8. Proof Day

    Show the change you made to how your work runs, and what it frees up.

The finish line

Every cohort ends on Proof Day

Proof Day is not a contest, and there is nothing to win. During the cohort everyone builds one thing for their own work, and on the last day shows it working.

Real.
In use, not a plan.
Yours.
Built for your own work, so it keeps saving you time.

Your proof could be

  • A routine that now runs by itself
  • Follow-ups that no longer slip
  • Your channels, planned ahead

You show something you finished, not a result that takes years to arrive.

Meet your trainers

Each track has its own host, who stays with you through the cohort, and at least one trainer.

Less time in the office, more time in the field

You learn to hand the repetitive work to AI and good tools, on a live stack that keeps running after the cohort, so your hours go to the people and places you work for.

Register your interest

The academy starts as a beta, with the first cohorts planned for late 2026 or 2027. There is no fixed date yet. Register your interest, pick a track and tell us roughly when you could join. We plan cohorts around the interest we receive and get in touch when yours takes shape.
