For education & training providers

Give your learners real practice deciding where AI belongs in a client's workflows, and why. Powered by Maru ClientLab.

Learners work hand in hand with simulated business, operations, and technical stakeholders to map the process, decide where the right technology and tools fit, and build the ROI case for change.

Illustrative exchange. Information is earned with the right questions.

Everything it takes to decide where AI belongs.

How it works

Not a single role-play. A client case with stakeholders, hidden data, and a new way of working the team has to design and defend.

  1. 01

    Learn the method

    The instructor teaches the module's how-to, such as mapping a workflow to find bottlenecks.

  2. 02

    Interview stakeholders

    Each learner applies it, interviewing the stakeholders in ClientLab.

  3. 03

    Write up findings

    Each learner writes up what they uncovered on their own, before the team meets.

  4. 04

    Reconcile as a team

    The team discusses findings from the stakeholder conversations and creates a team deliverable.

  5. 05

    Get evaluated

    The deliverable and each learner's conversation logs are submitted and scored against the rubric.

  6. 06

    Debrief as a class

    An instructor-led debrief with the whole class.

Why it matters now

The model alone doesn't deliver the value.

Someone has to tailor it to the real problem, or token spend goes up while the bottom line doesn't move. Plenty of programs teach the tools for building AI. We teach the other half of the job, the half forward-deployed engineers are hired for: working with the client to figure out what should change, and proving it pays off.
