AI Agents for Executive Personal Productivity

Stop managing AI curiosity. Start deploying AI capacity.

Designed for SMB leaders who are time-constrained, skeptical of hype, and need to see real results before committing further. Rather than sitting through presentations about what AI could do, you'll spend the majority of the day working on your own workflows — building functional agents during guided sessions and covering the governance side most programs skip. By 4:00 pm, you won't just understand AI agents — you'll have built one.

• Hands-On: You're not just watching demos. From Exercise 1 onward, you're working with your own workflows and building tools tailored to your actual role.
• Same-Day Results: Leave with a working AI prototype. Your agent is configured and tested during the Build Sessions so you can deploy immediately.
• Executive-Level Peer Group: Work alongside other SMB leaders navigating the same challenges. The small cohort format (max 25) keeps sessions focused and peer learning rich.
• Governance & Risk Covered: Dedicated sessions on AI guardrails, hallucination, context limits, and when to keep humans in the loop, so you adopt AI responsibly.
• Personalized, Not Generic— Exercises are structured around your bottlenecks and operating rhythm. The output is specific to how you actually run your day.
• A 30-Day Plan, Not Just Ideas: The afternoon closes with structured Action Planning so you leave with a sequenced, realistic implementation roadmap rather than a list of things to figure out later.

This isn't a lecture. By the end of the day, every participant will have completed and created the following.

• Mapped Bottlenecks: A clear picture of where your executive attention is being lost and which tasks are the highest-value candidates for AI support.
• Defined AI Roles: Some of your high-frequency workflows matched to various types of AI roles.
• Working AI Prototypes: One or more functional AI agents built and tested during the Build Sessions, configured to your real workflows, not demos.
• Governance Framework: A personal set of guardrails covering when to trust AI output, when to review, and how to handle sensitive or high-stakes decisions.
• 30-Day Action Plan: A sequenced, realistic plan for deploying and refining your agents over the first month, with clear milestones and check-in points.
• Executive Certificate: Official recognition as part of the AI Business Catalyst Program's Executive Certificate series, issued by World Trade Centre Toronto.

This program is designed for decision-makers who want to use AI in their own executive role.

CEOs, Owners & Founders: Leaders managing multiple priorities who want to reclaim time and build personal leverage through AI-assisted workflows. 

C-Suite Executives:  CFOs, COOs, CMOs, and other executives looking to integrate AI into their communication, reporting, and planning cycles. 

Senior Management: Department heads and senior leaders who manage teams, run meetings, and produce documents — and want to do it faster and better.

Business Leaders Exploring AI: Anyone at the executive level who understands AI is important but hasn't yet found a clear, personalized starting point for implementation.

No prior AI experience required. This program begins with a level-setting session to ensure all participants — regardless of background — can engage fully and build effectively.

This Executive Certificate is open to companies that are:  

• Exporting a product, service, or technologies and want to diversify its export market or are exploring the possibility of expanding their business internationally
• Registered business in Ontario with at least two years of operations and a scalable, revenue-generating model
