What should AI training for executives include besides learning the tools?

Gepubliceerd op 13 november 2026 om 07:42

Say you’re the CEO of a mid sized company. Your team keeps sending you AI proposals, each with a shiny demo and a vague budget line. You nod, but a small voice asks the obvious questions. Who sees our data? What does this cost a year from now? How do we know it worked?

Those are the questions that decide whether AI training for executives is worth anything. Tool tricks are the easy part. Here’s what the Your AI Roadmap page says it adds on top, with the details it gives.

The questions behind the demos

The page asks a pointed question of any other course you’ve taken. Did it talk about ROI and guardrails? Did it have a project where you took action? Those two checks cut through a lot of marketing. A course that skips them may entertain you but won’t help you decide anything.

Executives are also asked to approve things they don’t personally use. That’s a different job from learning a tool. It means knowing enough to question a proposal, judge a vendor, and say no without feeling out of depth.

Privacy, cost and ROI built in

The Your AI Roadmap Program says its live sessions have privacy, cost and ROI built in. That’s listed under the Claude AI training section, next to Claude for business and Claude Code for non coders. It isn’t framed as a bonus. It’s part of how every session is taught.

Jennifer Ruwart, CEO of Roger That, said Joan approaches AI with integrity, appropriate caution and guardrails. For a leader responsible for company data, that kind of caution is the whole point. A participant also said session one showed how to spend less on tokens.

What the six weeks look like

The Your AI Roadmap Program is AI training for executives with a business spine. It runs six weeks, from chat and Projects to Claude Code, Artifacts and monetization. Live sessions are Tuesdays at 9am PST, noon EST and 6pm CET, with Thursday office hours.

Everything is recorded and stays for a year. Plan on 3 to 5 hours a week. The aim isn’t to make you an engineer. It’s to make you a leader who understands what’s possible, what’s safe, and what’s worth paying for.

A framework for judging tools

One of the 10 bonus resources is the 5 Step AI Tools QUEST Framework. The page calls it an evaluation framework for judging any AI tool before you spend a dollar or an hour on it. For an executive who gets pitched weekly, that’s a practical filter.

A shortlist of 11 vetted AI tools the team uses itself and recommends to clients is included too. The page says it helps you skip the trial and error. Whether you adopt all eleven is up to you, but it saves starting from a blank search page.

A framework for rolling it out

Another bonus is the 10 Step AI Maturity Roadmap Framework. The page describes it as a ten step way to roll AI out across a company without the backlash, and says it’s the same framework used at a Fortune 100 onsite.

Backlash is a real cost. People worry about being replaced, or feel rushed into tools they don’t trust. A rollout plan that expects those reactions is worth having before the announcement email goes out, not after.

Where the ROI gets written down

The page promises the ROI of your workflows on the P&L, in writing. It also offers Your Million Dollar Revenue Calculator, based on the idea that all offers need to ladder up to a 7 figure offer. For executives, writing numbers down is how a project becomes a decision.

Week four, Monetization and Revenue: Claude and Money, and the $15k Challenge capstone in weeks five and six, push in the same direction. You bring one project with clear ROI to you or your company and work it through live.

What leaders said

Dinesh Kumar, CEO of Blend Health, said Joan and her team delivered exactly what they needed and left him with practical actions to implement immediately. Peter LePore, CEO of Scarole Enterprises, praised her knowledge, business acumen and collaboration skills.

Those quotes come from advisory and workshop work, not this exact cohort. Still, they show the style leaders say they value: practical, clear, and tied to action rather than theory.

Where the instructor’s background comes in

Dr. Joan Palmiter Bajorek has a PhD in conversational AI, worked at Nuance, the company Microsoft acquired for $16B, and was VP of Data and Analytics at a generative AI platform company. She says she’s spent more than ten years building data and AI systems for Fortune 500 companies.

She keeps seeing the same thing: a company buys the AI and nobody inside is trained to use it. That gap, she says, became her whole job. It’s why the program talks as much about people and process as about prompts.

Price and dates

Paying in full is $3,500, or 3, 6 or 12 installments of about $1,167, $583 or $292. Cohorts run Nov 9 to Dec 20, 2026 and Jan 5 to Feb 14, 2027. A 100% money back guarantee applies under the stated conditions, so read them first.

A Claude Pro or Max subscription is required, at $20 USD a month or more. A Certificate of Completion arrives at the end, signed by Dr. Joan Palmiter Bajorek. Prices doubled from 2026 to 2027 and will keep rising.

Back to the proposals

Suppose that CEO finishes the six weeks. The next AI proposal lands, and instead of nodding she asks about data, cost and measurable return, then runs it through the QUEST framework. That’s a small change with big consequences, and it’s what good AI training for executives should deliver.
