AI for operations leaders who are done with the hype.
A practical, vendor-neutral course for plant managers, ops directors, and supply-chain leads. No buzzwords. No magic. Just a framework for evaluating AI, a playbook for deploying it, and the language to defend the ROI to your CFO.
Four modules. Twelve lessons. Zero filler.
Every lesson is taught the way an operator would brief their own team — concrete examples from manufacturing and distribution, real numbers, and the worksheets to take it back to your floor.
A toolkit your team will actually use on Monday morning.
- Diagnose where AI actually moves the needle in your plant — and where it's noise.
- Run a 90-day pilot that gets adopted instead of shelved.
- Build supplier scorecards and OTD dashboards your team will actually use.
- Quantify ROI in language a CFO will sign off on.
- Spot vendor red flags before you sign a contract.
Trusted by the people running real plants and real P&Ls.
Finally, a course that doesn't try to convince me AI is magic. William's framework for vendor evaluation alone saved us from a six-figure mistake.
I've sent every plant manager in our network through this. The OTD playbook is the cleanest treatment of the problem I've seen.
It's the first AI training I've taken where I came out with worksheets I actually used the next week, not just slides I'd never open again.
"I built this for the operator who's tired of being sold to."
William has spent 15+ years inside manufacturing and distribution operations — first running plants, then advising COOs and ops directors on the messy work of actually deploying technology on the floor.
