  "supportingContext": "The article provides a practitioner-oriented blueprint for a four-module AI leadership mini-course covering strategic thought partnership, prompting techniques, high-impact applications, and implementation roadmapping. Kamil Banc's methodology emphasizes leveraging AI tools themselves—Gamma.app for presentations and ChatGPT or Claude for case studies and readiness assessments—to build training materials quickly. The approach targets non-experts by focusing on business value translation rather than technical depth, using frameworks like the Value Proposition Canvas and WIIFM principle. Practitioners are advised to ground sessions in real company problems, provide fill-in-the-blank prompt templates, and use a 30-60-90 day implementation plan. The recommended 'Parking Lot' technique for handling unanswerable questions reflects a broader principle that honest communication builds more executive trust than improvised expertise.",
