Each member of a management team now arrives at a meeting with an answer from their own AI assistant. This workshop teaches a team to use AI to prepare a decision faster, and then to decide together on the evidence: who owns the decision, who must be consulted, and what the team records.
Department heads and the teams that decide together: management teams, project boards and committees below board level. Run for a team that already works together.
Half day or one day for one team.
In person, led by a facilitator. Participants practise workplace decisions on StepSim, the AIR APAC decision simulator built by Exeter Labs.
A Record of Completion for each participant who completes the programme. A separate, optional assessment can lead to certification under AIRS-J/1, the AIR APAC Standard for Judgment in AI-Enabled Work. The certification is valid for two years and verified free on a public register.
Run for your group, with case files written for your sector. Dates are agreed in the proposal.
When each member of a team brings an answer from their own AI assistant, a meeting becomes a contest between confident drafts. The team agrees too quickly, or argues about wording, and no one checks the claim each draft rests on.
AI also makes it easy for one person to act alone. They may go beyond their authority, decide before the right people agree, or not say that AI drafted the work. A team decision needs a named owner, the right people consulted, and a record of why.
Most AI courses teach either how to use the tools or the risks of using them. This programme does both on the same task, in the same session.
STEP (Structure, Test, Engage, Perform) is the method every AIR Academy programme teaches. It is four questions a manager asks before acting on an AI answer. The four questions come from AIRS-J/1, the AIR APAC Standard for Judgment in AI-Enabled Work.
Half day or one day, for one team that already works together, not a mix of strangers.
In the cases the team uses an AI assistant its organisation permits to prepare the decision, then runs the meeting on what it has checked.

Composite team decisions written for the programme: a product launch that may need to be delayed, a budget cut shared across units, a change of a key supplier.
AIRS-J/1, the AIR APAC Standard for Judgment in AI-Enabled Work. The programme covers all four areas, with most weight on who decides, who must agree and what is disclosed.
A sample in the style of the programme's cases. All organisations, people, figures and AI tools in it are fictional.
A management team must decide whether to delay a product launch by six weeks. Three members each bring a recommendation drafted with a different AI tool.
| Member | AI tool | Recommendation | Main reason given |
|---|---|---|---|
| Head of sales | "PitchAI" | Launch on time | A competitor launches in four weeks |
| Head of product | "PlanAI" | Delay six weeks | Two open quality defects |
| Head of finance | "LedgerAI" | Launch on time | A competitor launches in four weeks; delay costs the quarter |
In the StepSim Practice missions, the facilitator looks at how people decide, not at whether they reached a particular answer. For an exercise like this one:
This shows what changed in how the group checked AI work during the session.
AIR APAC provides the lead facilitator, who is named in your course proposal. Later deliveries can also be led by your training provider's own facilitator.
AIR APAC certifies facilitators under section 20.6 of AIRS-J/1. Training providers can send their trainers to the facilitator programme. If your organisation has its own rules for who may train your staff, tell us in the enquiry.
| What | What it is | In this programme |
|---|---|---|
| Record of Completion | A record, issued by AIR APAC, of what each person attended and practised. | Included for everyone who completes. |
| AIRS-J/1 certification, Professional track | AIR APAC’s own credential for judgment in AI-enabled work, assessed against a public standard with a published rubric. Anyone can verify it free by code on a public register. Valid for two years. | Optional. Choose the certification edition, and participants take a separate assessment within 30 days of the programme. The proposal sets out the arrangements. |
No. The exercises use fictional case files. Where participants work on their own tasks, they use only an AI tool their organisation permits for that information, remove identifying and confidential details first, or use a fictional version instead. Nothing they show in the session is kept or recorded, and it is never used for certification. Your organisation receives these conditions before the programme starts.
Cases are set in your sector and under your country’s rules. Tell us which in your request. With your organisation’s written consent, cases can also be based on your own organisation. Programmes run in English. If your group needs another language, name it in your request.
The facilitated editions are led in person. The half day is built for 15 to 30 people. Group size for the longer editions, and any live online option, are agreed in the proposal.
Each group receives a quoted price in its proposal. The price depends on the edition, the number of participants, the location, and whether the certification edition is included. No group has completed this programme yet. Case files are written for your sector and your group, and the start date is agreed in the proposal.
Each edition opens with a StepSim Practice mission played the usual way and closes with an unseen mission of the same kind. You see what changed in how your group checks AI work. The written outputs are listed under What your organisation receives. This shows change during the programme, not results at work.
No regulator, university or professional body recognises this credential. ISO/IEC 17024 is a design reference only. AIRS-J/1 certification is issued by AIR APAC under a public standard. See the credentials table.
AIRS-J/1 is the AIR APAC Standard for Judgment in AI-Enabled Work. It is public, with a published rubric and scoring rules, and a named Review Board governs it. It defines the four areas the programme teaches.
You keep your client. Training providers own the client relationship and invoice the client directly. AIR APAC supplies the programme design, case files written for your client’s sector, StepSim Practice missions and, for your first delivery, the lead facilitator. You agree the fit to your client, the subject expert who co-facilitates, and the commercial terms directly with AIR APAC. Facilitators who want to run StepSim sessions in their own programmes can join the facilitator programme.
