What's the difference between using AI and operating it?

You prompt it. You get an answer. You close the tab and start over tomorrow. That's using AI. It's useful, but it doesn't compound. Operating AI means your systems carry context, your team works from the same methodology, and outputs get better over time because the infrastructure does. The gap isn't about which tools you use. It's about whether you've built a system or just developed a habit.

What is the WISER Method?

Five canons, 26 plays, and a five-stage maturity model that tells you exactly where you stand and what comes next. Built from two decades of deploying AI across more than half the Fortune 100. It started from one question: why do most AI projects fail when the technology is fine?

Do I need a technical background?

Depends on where you start. The executive program has no prerequisites. The practitioner programs require you to be comfortable with software, not a developer. If you've configured a new app on your own and can follow structured instructions, you're ready.

Where should I start if I'm not sure?

Take the free assessment. Ten minutes. It tells you exactly which stage you're at. Or: if you're using AI but don't have any production systems running, that's Stage 1. The Automate Myself program is the right next step.

How is this different from other AI training?

Most AI training teaches you to get better answers from ChatGPT. This builds the operational infrastructure behind the answers. The methodology came from actual enterprise deployments, which means it was built to survive real teams and real constraints, not optimized for a slide deck. It works regardless of which AI tools you already use.

Do you have evidence this works?

Not a clinical trial. The evidence is hundreds of production deployments across more than half the Fortune 100. WISER isn't a theory that was validated against real work. It's what that work taught us, written down. The full story is on the About page.
