DC CAP Enterprise AI  ·  The Program

The Program

Eight weeks, three phases, every DC CAP team.

Purpose

Every hour Claude saves on drafts and data pulls goes back to the roughly 800 scholars we serve. Ten senior leaders across six units proved the model from April to June 2026; now every team learns it, funded by a $600K grant from the KPMG AI Impact Initiative.

Program Goals

These are the goals the organization holds itself to. Nothing on this list is graded or turned in by any one person; the course stays self-paced and open.

AI Fluency

Most staff reach confident, regular use of Claude on real work, visible in the aggregate of the assessments staff choose to take.

Psychological Safety

Confidence grows across the course, and the staff who take to it early begin teaching the rest.

Shared Learning

Each unit produces at least one champion candidate.

Productivity

Units collect before-and-after examples from real work; each unit redesigns two workflows.

Innovation

At least one unit ships a capability that could not exist without AI.

Governance

Zero Tier 1 or Tier 2 data incidents; every output has a human owner.
