Put AI to work on real business problems
Eight self-guided exercises. Every one ends with something you keep and use.
Most AI advice hands you a list of prompts and wishes you luck. The AI Operator Toolkit does the opposite. Each resource walks you through one operating exercise and leaves you holding a finished piece of work: a company profile AI can use, a set of working instructions, a one-page AI use guide for your team, a voice guide built from your own writing.
Written by John Marshall for owners, executives, and managers running real companies, not for people who want to sound current about AI.
Free. Enter your name and email once and you get the whole toolkit, plus the Session 1 facilitator guide.

Also included with the toolkit
Session 1: AIGP Starter Training
A 75-minute team session your own people can run, without bringing in a trainer.
The toolkit is built for one person working on their own. Session 1 is how you bring the rest of the team along. It teaches the two methods underneath everything in the toolkit: CARGO, for asking AI a question it can actually answer well, and SHIFT, for fixing the first answer instead of settling for it.
The facilitator guide walks whoever leads the session through it step by step, so a manager or a trusted employee can run it. Register for the toolkit and the guide comes with it.
Who this is for
- Owners and executives who want AI producing something other than faster emails
- Managers who need their department using AI without creating problems
- Anyone already using AI regularly who is tired of re-explaining themselves every session
- Leaders who need basic AI rules in place before usage spreads on its own
You do not need a technical background. You do need one real piece of work you are willing to use as the test.

The LBM AI Field Card
One page. How to get a useful answer out of AI, and how to know when not to trust one. CARGO for asking, SHIFT for fixing what comes back, and the line between what AI helps you think through and what a person still decides. Print it, pin it up, pass it around. Your association can add its own logo.

Questions
Is it really free?
Yes. There is no payment step and no card required. You give a name and an email, and you get the toolkit.
Do I have to create an account?
No password and no account to manage. You enter your information once and the toolkit opens.
How do I get back in later?
The confirmation email includes a direct link to the toolkit. Save it and you can return any time without going through the form again.
Do I have to do all eight?
No. Start with the problem you are actually trying to solve. Most people do one, use the result, and come back later for another.
Which AI tool do these work with?
Any of the major general-purpose AI tools. The exercises are about how you work with AI, not about one vendor’s features.
What is the Session 1 guide?
It is the facilitator guide for Session 1: AIGP Starter Training, a 75-minute session that teaches your team how to ask AI better questions and how to fix a weak first answer. It is written so someone inside your company can lead it. It comes free with the toolkit.
What if I want to move my whole team?
The toolkit is built for individual use. Moving a team or a company is a different level of work, and it is where most AI efforts stall. Talk to AI Growth Partners about what that takes.
Ready for the next step?
Most companies are using AI too small.
Employees writing faster emails is not transformation. Real AI leverage happens when capable leaders apply it to pricing, operations, planning, forecasting, execution, and decision-making. That shift produced $650,000 in measurable business value for one executive in eight months. That is the standard we build toward.
