AI Enablement program

What your team goes through. Exactly.

The Polln AI Enablement program is a 90-day engagement that gets your team fluent in AI. Here's what your people experience, what you have at the end, and what stays after.

The program

Three phases. Built to compound.

01

Launch

Weeks 1–4 · Everyone · ~2 hours per person

Five short modules. Mandatory. Under two hours per person. By the end of week four, your entire org shares a common baseline, and your internal AI practitioners have been surfaced.

5 modules · what participants cover
  1. M01

    How AI actually works

    And where it reliably fails.

  2. M02

    Tactical vs. systematic

    A common vocabulary, role to role.

  3. M03

    Prompting fundamentals

    Patterns that apply across every job.

  4. M04

    Evaluating output

    Critically, not by default.

  5. M05

    Responsible use

    Data, risk, judgment in your org.

02

Ignite

Weeks 5–8 · Role-based tracks

Participants split into three tracks. At least half the content in each track comes from your own practitioners, not generic outside curriculum.

3 tracks · cohort splits
Track 01

Engineers

ICs writing, reviewing, or deploying code

  • AI-assisted coding beyond autocomplete
  • Code review with AI, catching what it misses
  • Debugging and root cause analysis with AI
  • Writing documentation without the dread
  • Building AI habits into your PR workflow
Track 02

Engineering Managers

Leads, staff engineers, EMs

  • Leading a team through an AI transition without mandating tools
  • What good AI adoption actually looks like on your team
  • AI's impact on velocity, quality, and technical debt
  • Running 1:1s and retros in an AI-enabled team
Track 03

Product, Design & Analytics

PMs, TPMs, designers, analysts

  • AI for requirements, specs, and research synthesis
  • Accelerating design and prototyping with AI
  • Data analysis and insight extraction at speed
  • Prompt patterns for non-technical workflows
03

Compound

Weeks 9–12 and beyond

The formal program ends. The platform doesn't.

What keeps running
  1. 01

    Practitioners become champions

    They run office hours, answer questions, and seed the next cohort.

  2. 02

    The library compounds

    Every cycle adds content. New hires walk into an org that already has answers.

  3. 03

    Reporting keeps surfacing where expertise lives

    Adoption metrics persist past the formal engagement, with monthly check-ins for six months.

Who the program serves

Three types of learner. One program that meets all of them.

Tier 01

Most of your team

Hasn't really used AI in their daily work yet. Maybe tried ChatGPT once. Knows the tools exist. This is the largest group in nearly every org we work with, and that's normal. Polln moves them from awareness to working fluency.

Tier 02

Inconsistent users

Using AI tools, but unevenly. Gets value sometimes. Hasn't built reliable judgment about when and how to apply it. Polln gives them structure and patterns that turn intermittent use into systematic capability.

Tier 03

Already integrating

A small group is already integrating AI deeply. They've done the work to figure it out on their own and are teaching colleagues informally. Polln gives them a way to scale what they know to the rest of the org, and recognizes them for it.

The goal: move the first two groups forward across your entire team, while activating the third group as the contributors who make the program compound.

What you get

A VP Eng asked to justify the program can point to all of this.

  • 01

    Shared AI baseline

    Everyone completes the foundation curriculum. Common vocabulary, common floor.

  • 02

    Role-based tracks, applied

    Engineers, EMs, and PMs produce artifacts from their actual work — not just attendance.

  • 03

    A Peer Content library

    Internal knowledge captured in your team's voice. Videos, guides, walkthroughs.

  • 04

    Adoption metrics

    Reporting on who's engaged, what content lands, and where expertise sits.

  • 05

    A cohort of champions

    Phase 2 practitioners trained and equipped to lead the next cycle.

  • 06

    A system that keeps running

    No dedicated program manager needed. New hires onboard into it. The library grows.

One year in

What Polln looks like a year after kickoff.

The first 90 days are the program. Everything after is the system at work.

  1. By month 6

    The first cohort's contributors are the program leaders for the second cohort. The Peer Content library has doubled. New hires from the last two months were onboarded into the existing program without you designing anything new.

  2. By month 9

    A second program has launched on the same platform. Maybe engineering standards. Maybe security practices. Maybe onboarding for a new business unit. Whatever it is, it took weeks to stand up, not quarters.

  3. By month 12

    Your senior practitioners are the most-cited people in internal Slack. AI fluency isn't a project anymore. It's how your team works. And the system that got you there is still running, still growing, still feeding the next thing.


The first program is the hard part. After that, the system runs.

Practical questions

What you'll want to know before the call.

Most programs serve between 50 and 500 people. Our methodology has run at companies from 50 engineers to over 20,000. Larger orgs typically start with one division or business unit and expand from there.

Phase 1 is designed for under two hours total per participant, spread across four weeks. Phase 2 is more variable depending on track and engagement, typically two to four hours per week. We design for senior people's calendars, not against them.

The program is fully async-friendly. Live sessions are recorded, and the platform handles cohort engagement across time zones. We have customers running this across North America, Europe, and Asia simultaneously.

Your Polln Advisor handles operations through the engagement. Your internal coordinator (someone you designate, usually a chief of staff or program manager type, not a full-time role) handles internal logistics with our playbook. After Phase 3, your champions take over.

We do a 30-day check-in after Phase 1. If the baseline modules aren't landing, we adjust before Phase 2. If at the end of 90 days you don't have the deliverables in the Day 90 section above, we stay engaged until you do.

An LMS is a place to store content. A course library is generic content for sale. Polln is an enablement program: structured engagement, internal expert activation, role-based application, and a system that compounds. You're not buying software. You're buying an outcome.

A 30-minute call

Your AI Enablement program. Running in 30 days.

Not a demo. Not a trial. A conversation about whether Polln is right for your org and what it would look like to launch.
