National AI Strategy Sprint
A five-week sprint for policymakers, strategists, analysts, educators, civil society, and industry teams who need to read or design national AI strategies with more discipline.
Most AI strategies fail for predictable reasons
Many strategies are too vague, too narrow, or copied from another context. This sprint helps you account for compute, data, institutions, labor, international posture, safety, and metrics.
From global landscape to decision-ready memo
Each week gives you curated readings, live discussion, structured exercises, and peer review so your final memo is sharper than a private reflection.
Use AU, Stanford HAI, OECD, and Carnegie readings to write a context-grounded urgency narrative.
Map Singapore, Kenya, AU, and ASEAN strategy models to compare explicit pillars, omissions, and context.
Practice strategy under power, compute, talent, donor-dependence, and political-time constraints.
Design the institutional machinery, digital foundations, and first 100 days needed to run a strategy.
Select priority sectors, define Year-1 use cases, identify labor risks, and write an international posture.
Workshop the two-page strategy memo and three-minute pitch through peer review and synthesis.
A reusable strategy diagnostic
You use the nine-pillar map every week so you can decode existing strategies and design stronger ones.

Designed for real decision-makers
You leave with artifacts you can use with senior leaders, not just reflections for a classroom — and every memo carries the ask, budget logic, risks, and review metrics.
