What You Take Away
Programme
What is the investment?
The cohort is €10,000 per attendee, which includes all materials, tools access, and ongoing support. Most participants see ROI within 3-6 months through measurable productivity gains, faster delivery cycles, and reduced defects in production.
What is your refund policy?
We offer a full refund if you're not satisfied with the programme after completing the first week. We're confident in the transformation we deliver, and this policy reflects our commitment to ensuring you get real value from the experience.
Who leads the sessions?
All sessions are led by ENDGAME founders who have hands-on experience building and deploying AI-native engineering practices at enterprise scale. This includes leading live workshops, facilitating small group coaching sessions, reviewing participant outputs, and offering architectural guidance throughout the programme.
What are the prerequisites?
This programme is designed for CTOs, VPs of Engineering, Directors, Engineering Managers, and Technical Leads responsible for engineering delivery. You should have organisational authority to drive transformation, accountability for productivity outcomes, and a need to demonstrate ROI to stakeholders.
What do I get after completing the programme?
Graduates receive an AI-Native Transformation Leader certification, an Applied AI Project tailored to your organisation's challenges, and a complete library of templates and artefacts. You'll also get a detailed 90-day transformation plan and access to the ENDGAME alumni community for ongoing support and networking.
Logistics
How much time commitment is required?
Expect to invest 7-10 hours per week over the 9-week programme. This includes Sunday video primers (30-60 min), Monday live workshops (2 hours), Tuesday-Thursday implementation labs (1 hour each), and Friday peer review sessions (1 hour).
What time zone are live sessions?
Live sessions are scheduled to accommodate European time zones, typically in the late morning or early afternoon CET. All sessions are recorded and available within 24 hours for participants in other regions or those who can't attend live.
