Your problem is not on the list? Bring it anyway.

The real problem

Experimenting with AI got easy. Deciding what deserves implementation stays hard.

Tools already let individuals and areas test new ways of working quickly. The executive challenge is turning experiments into decisions: which problem is worth solving, which evidence matters, which risks must be controlled and what deserves investment, adoption or scale.

⚠️

Many initiatives, little prioritization

Ideas and tools appear faster than the organization can evaluate them.

🔧

Individual productivity, unchanged process

People can work faster while handoffs, decisions and workflows stay unchanged.

📉

Pilot without decision

A working demo alone does not answer whether something should be implemented, expanded or stopped.

Who this program is NOT for

This program is not for those looking only for a list of tools, prompt tricks or a superficial introduction to generative AI.

HIC: two ideas, one method

The idea starts from High Individual Contributor: professionals who use AI to expand their capacity to analyze, decide, build and deliver. At EBAC, we believe this only truly works with Human in Control: people keeping judgment, evidence and responsibility for what AI does.

High Individual Contributor

More capacity to analyze, decide, build and deliver with AI.

Human in Control

People keep judgment, validation, evidence and responsibility.

Real integrating project

Apply the method to a relevant problem, product, service or opportunity, with mentoring.

More capability with AI. People stay in control.

EBAC HIC Method

From problem to applicable capability

Every synchronous HIC program starts from a real problem. The domain changes; the method core does not: learn only what is needed to build, verify, and prepare application and transfer with human judgment.

1

Frame

Define the problem, people, baseline, constraints, expected value, and success criteria before choosing technology.

2

Learn what is needed

Technical and methodological depth follows the challenge and participant role — not a fixed tool checklist.

3

Build

Turn learning into a solution, workflow, analysis, prototype, artifact, or decision that fits the context.

4

Verify and control

Test quality, evidence, risks, and limits while keeping review, accountability, and Human in Control.

5

Implement and transfer capability

Document, define ownership, and prepare next steps so the learning can be reused and improved beyond one person.

Implementation does not automatically mean production deployment: each context keeps its own security, approval, integration, and decision gates.

How the project works

One real challenge, one implementation case

The program doesn't hand you eight independent documents. It runs a single cumulative project: you bring a real challenge and, week by week, evolve a functional, tested and documented solution.

The starting point of the HIC Method is the High Individual Contributor: professionals who use AI to expand their capacity to analyze, decide, build and deliver. At EBAC, this only truly works with Human in Control: people keeping judgment, evidence and responsibility for what AI does. The HIC Method combines both ideas in real projects — more capability with AI, without giving up human control.

1

You bring a real challenge

A concrete business problem from your company — not a generic exercise.

2

The project evolves over 8 weeks

From problem definition to solution, each week adds a layer to the same case.

3

You learn what it takes to build it

Architecture, APIs, prototyping, automation, evals and tests — as your project requires.

4

Mentoring reviews implementation decisions

Human review at every step: what goes to production, what stays in pilot and why.

5

The project crosses evidence and quality gates

Tests, evidence and decision records document each advance of the case.

6

You finish with solution + capability

A functional, tested and documented solution — and the capability to repeat the process.

The model: solid base + adaptive application + human review

1 · Solid base — fundamentals, architecture and governance that support any case.

2 · Adaptive application — the method adapts to the real challenge you bring.

3 · Human review — mentoring validates decisions and protects professional judgment.

Curriculum

One project. Eight evidence milestones.

The same real case runs through all 8 weeks. Each week answers an executive question and produces an evidence milestone — not eight independent documents.

Frequently asked questions

Questions about the program

What does HIC mean and why does the name have two meanings?

HIC is an intentional wordplay that represents the two central ideas of the program. The starting point is High Individual Contributor: someone capable of using AI to significantly expand their capacity to analyze, create, decide and deliver. At EBAC, that capacity must be accompanied by Human in Control: people remain responsible for defining objectives, evaluating evidence, reviewing results, setting limits and making decisions. That is why we call our approach the HIC Method: expanding human capability with AI without outsourcing judgment and responsibility to technology.

Who is this program for?

For managers, HR leaders, consultants, innovation professionals and any executive who needs to structure AI within a company — not just use tools day-to-day.

Do I need technical AI knowledge?

You don't need to be an engineer, but you will practice real implementation: architecture, APIs, prototyping, automation, evals and tests. The program teaches what you need to build your case, with mentoring reviewing every technical decision — without becoming an engineering bootcamp.

How do the classes work?

8 weeks of live training, with 16 sessions and 4 individual mentoring sessions, plus a project applied to your real context. Classes are available for review after each session.

What if I can't attend a class?

Sessions are recorded and made available on the platform. You can watch them later and ask questions during individual mentoring.

Can I hire an exclusive cohort for my company?

Yes. Corporate cohorts are structured for full teams, with dates and content adapted to your context. Contact us via WhatsApp for a personalized proposal.

What do I receive at the end of the program?

One cumulative implementation case: you bring a real challenge and finish with a functional, tested and documented solution ready for an implementation decision — plus the capability to repeat the process. Over the 8 weeks you produce evidence milestones (diagnosis, policy, roadmap, tests) that feed this single case.

Is the certificate recognized by the market?

Yes. The certificate is issued by EBAC, a school recognized in the creative and tech market.

Can I pay in installments?

Yes. Up to 12× on credit card. Multiple enrollments, corporate packages and in-company cohorts get personalized conditions — talk to us.
