Escaping the AI Grey Zone with AI-Native Training
Are you caught between AI hype and practical implementation? Welcome to the "grey zone" of artificial intelligence—a frustrating middle ground where tools multiply but results don't. Organizations are discovering that buying courses or tools is like purchasing gym equipment without a fitness plan: impressive in theory, lacking in practice.
The team at AI-Native identified a pattern among thousands of professionals regarding AI. Over half of our practitioners came to us after facing at least one of these three obstacles:
  1. Tool paralysis: No clear guidelines for choosing, too many options.
  1. Prompting frustration: AI consistently misunderstands context or requirements.
  1. Implementation failure: Prototypes that work in demos but fail in real workflows
Sound familiar? You're not alone. Many organizations struggle with ad-hoc AI implementations. Teams are caught between traditional workflows and AI-powered processes, without clear guidance to bridge the gap.

Beyond the LinkedIn Jargon

In our work with enterprise teams, we've seen that tactical AI skills alone don't ensure organizational success. Consider a development team that invests heavily in premium courses. Even with that training, they might struggle to integrate AI into their workflow six months later. The missing piece is a systematic way of working for adoption.
Tactical AI courses teach valuable skills, but they're like teaching Scrum practices without a broader framework. Individual teams might successfully implement AI tools, but scaling those successes organization-wide remains a challenge. We've seen teams waste months building solutions that work in isolation but fail when integrated into broader workflows.
That’s where AI-Native training comes in.

What is AI-Native Training?

It's a new training program and knowledge base from the behind the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe). And we've built with the same rigor as SAFe, just focused on AI adoption. AI-Native isn't just about better tools; it's about adopting a different operating model for organizational workflow.
Our first offering is AI-Native Foundations (2 days), which teaches you to:
  • Build individual AI literacy and effective prompting techniques.
  • Systematically redesign workflows to utilize AI.
  • Evaluate tasks for humans, machines, or combined approaches.
  • Match problems to the appropriate AI solutions: simple prompts, RAG systems, and agentic workflows.
AI-Native gives you a framework to integrate AI capabilities across your workflows—regardless of your current or future tools.

Ready to Move Beyond Uncertainty?

AI adoption isn't slowing down. The gap between systematic and ad-hoc AI adoption is widening. Just as SAFe helped organizations break through their Agile scaling challenges, AI-Native can help you overcome your AI adoption barriers.
Our AI-Native Foundations course is now available through Scaled Agile and our partner network. Classes are offered across the U.S., LATAM, Europe, and APAC.
