John Tanner builds AI-ready organizations and people.

We've spent two decades helping organizations figure out what AI readiness actually requires: the decisions, the people, the systems, and the gaps between them.

Our team has led AI, automation, DevOps, and digital transformation initiatives at places like the White House Communications Agency, Ford Motor Company, and Freddie Mac. That background is what shapes the C4G Academy curriculum. It is formed on what enterprise AI adoption actually looks like from the inside.

We created the AI Ready Certification program to give professionals a structured, honest way to assess where they and their organizations stand with AI, and to build the capability to move forward on purpose.

Whether you manag projects, lead teams, or advise organizations on AI adoption, we are here to empower and support you.

AI Ready Certification powered by ICAgile

Loved this class - a wonderful balance of depth and breadth. A lot is packed in here but the format of the class allows for presentation and discussion to be paced based on the interests of the class members. John empowers his learners to have confidence and clarity about how AI is transforming the world of work, with a style that isn't intimidating or overwhelming. The information shared in this class should be immediately useful to most people in their current work, but to me the real value was the insight about how my existing strengths will support me in my future AI journey.

This course has been incredibly valuable in my journey of finding my place in AI. It provided me a context that I have not found anywhere else and I am so much better prepared to have valuable, intelligent conversations about implementing AI with all people at levels of the organization. And as valuable to me as the knowledge I have gained, is the boost in my personal confidence at being able to be part of the AI conversation. This has grown immensely - both from the material, and John's general demeanor and way of presenting. His style as an instructor was one of the best parts of the course.

The AI space is rapidly changing with new capabilities, new vendors, and new claims. This course provides a solid foundation for understanding what AI is and isn't, and a framework for understanding what it takes to be AI ready. The content is presented in a way that you don't have to be a technologist to understand.

Extremely in depth and thorough Ai Ready course. So much valuable content and so much I'd never even thought of for an organisation to be properly Ai ready. Highly recommended if you're responsible for navigating the Ai future for your organisation
