  • The 6 Organizational Milestones of AI Fluency

    The 6 Organizational Milestones of AI Fluency
    Jul 6 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    Most companies say they're using AI, but only 30% have even created an acceptable use policy. Alane Boyd and Micah Johnson are back with part 2 of their AI fluency series, and this time they're going deep on the organizational level: the six milestones that separate companies dabbling with AI from those actually building with it.

    If your team is experimenting with AI tools but you have no committee, no shared systems, and no way to measure who knows what, you're building on sand. This episode gives you the framework to change that, no matter where your organization is starting from.

    In this episode, you'll learn:

    • How to build an acceptable use AI policy that evolves as your tools and workflows evolve
    • Why AI champions matter, and how to identify and use the right people on your team
    • How to measure your team's AI fluency using milestone tracking across roles
    • The system for sharing wins and roadblocks so AI knowledge doesn't stay siloed
    • Why clean data is non-negotiable, and why AI can't fix your messy folder system for you
    • How to document your workflows so anyone can understand them, no technical background required

    If you're serious about building an organization that doesn't just use AI but grows with it, this episode gives you the exact roadmap. Press play, your team will thank you.

    If you haven't listened to part 1 yet, start there first: The 5 Individual Milestones of AI Fluency.

  • The 5 Individual Milestones of AI Fluency

    The 5 Individual Milestones of AI Fluency
    Jun 29 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    Most business leaders talk about AI adoption. But Alane and Micah are asking the real question. How do you actually measure it?

    In this episode, they introduce a five-milestone framework for tracking individual AI fluency on your team. This framework was built from a real gap Micah observed at a recent COO conference where everyone agreed the topic mattered but nobody had answers.

    If AI adoption at your company feels more like chaos than progress, there's a good chance your team has no shared baseline and no way to know who's moving forward and who's stuck. Alane and Micah make the case that undefined fluency goals are a business problem, and that the fix is easier than most leaders think.

    In this episode, you'll learn:

    • How to define milestone one so every team member has a clear, achievable starting point with Cowork
    • Why Skills, Folders, and Connectors are the baseline every team member should hit, and why that alone drives major efficiency gains
    • How one team member spent 5 minutes on something that now saves 45 minutes every single day
    • The two-track model (individual vs. organizational) and why measuring only one of them leaves half the picture missing

    If you're ready to stop guessing about where your team stands with AI and start building a measurable path forward, this episode gives you the exact framework to do it.
