The Complete AI Transformation Journey — With Expert Guidance and Peer Support

Most organizations struggle with AI transformation because they're navigating it alone. They lack a proven roadmap, miss critical steps, and have no one to turn to when challenges arise.

The AI SPRINT Intensive is different. It's a 6-month cohort program that takes your organization through the complete AI SPRINT transformation framework — with expert facilitation from Trent Gillespie, a community of peer organizations solving similar challenges, and all the resources, templates, and support you need.

✗The Challenge

Organizations transforming independently face:

•No proven roadmap from vision through implementation
•Missed critical steps in governance, training, or adoption
•Isolation — no peers to learn from or troubleshoot with
•Incomplete resources and templates (building from scratch)
•Lack of expert guidance when stuck
•Inconsistent momentum and accountability

✓The Solution

The AI SPRINT Intensive delivers:

•Complete 6-step framework from AI fundamentals through growth differentiation
•Monthly cohort sessions facilitated by Trent Gillespie (one session per SPRINT step)
•Private peer community with organizations at the same transformation stage
•All implementation resources — templates, best practices, training, frameworks
•6 months of AI SPRINT Membership included (ongoing support and resources)
•Structured accountability and momentum throughout the journey

Why Trent Leads This Program:

Real-World Experience:

Amazon-Informed Methodology:

The AI SPRINT framework draws directly from Amazon's innovation and transformation approaches — frameworks proven to identify and scale breakthrough initiatives.

"AI transformation isn't about tools — it's about organizational capability. The cohort format works because leaders learn from each other, stay accountable to each other, and build capability together. My role is to guide the framework, share proven practices, and help every organization succeed."

— Trent Gillespie

Why the AI SPRINT Intensive Works

Most AI transformation programs fail because they're either too theoretical (strategy with no implementation) or too tactical (tools with no strategy). The AI SPRINT Intensive is different.

Complete Framework, Not Scattered Tactics

Most programs focus on one piece: strategy, governance, training, OR implementation. The AI SPRINT Intensive guides you through ALL six phases of transformation—from Future Customer vision through scaled, optimized AI capabilities. You don't just learn about AI transformation. You actually transform, with expert guidance at every step.

Peer Learning + Expert Guidance

The combination of cohort peers and expert facilitation is powerful. Peers provide real-world perspective, empathy, and diverse solutions. Trent provides frameworks, best practices, and strategic direction. Together, you get both proven methodology AND adapted solutions for your context. You learn from organizations facing similar challenges while getting expert guidance when stuck.

Implementation Focus, Not Just Education

Every month includes both learning AND implementation. Cohort session teaches the framework and best practices. Between sessions you implement with resource templates and support. Next session reviews progress and addresses challenges. You're not gathering information to 'implement someday.' You're implementing NOW with backup.

Proven Amazon-Informed Methodology

The AI SPRINT framework isn't theoretical—it's built on Amazon's innovation and transformation methodologies, refined through dozens of organizational implementations, and proven to work across industries and company sizes. You're following a roadmap that's been proven at enterprise scale and adapted for your business.
