The 8-Week AI-Era Curriculum
Click any week to see topics, outcomes, and the artifact you walk away with. Prompts and templates included.
Real operators. Cameras on. Every week.
This isn't a Loom library or a Slack group with a course attached. Every Wednesday, your cohort shows up live — partner managers, alliance leads, and ecosystem operators from the modern partner orgs you already follow.
Led by industry leader Chris Lavoie, PhD — Founder & CEO of Partnership Mastermind.
You learn the frameworks, then immediately work them through with the people wrestling with the same deals, the same QBRs, the same internal politics — in real time, with their cameras on and their guard down.
- 20-person cohort, hand-curated for fit and seniority
- Live workshops — not pre-recorded lectures
- A private Slack and peer network you'll still be using a year later

Don't pitch this from memory. Send the brief.
A 2-page, exec-ready approval document built for the conversation you're dreading: the budget math, the time cost, the deliverables, three verified graduate quotes, and a copy-paste email your manager can just reply 'approved' to.
$1,500 one-time against 4–8 hours reclaimed per week — roughly $14K–$28K of loaded time a year. Break-even: one partner-influenced deal, or three weeks.
One live hour a week for 8 weeks. No travel, no backfill, all sessions recorded, and you can miss up to 3 and still graduate.
"They're slammed." "Budget is frozen." "What if they leave?" "How do I know it worked?" — each one answered on page 2, with a 30/60/90 measurement plan.
“If you work in partnerships and you're NOT in this program, you're leaving growth on the table.”
“It gave me the confidence to professionalize the partnerships area at Treble.”
“Tactical, step-by-step playbooks for every stage — it helps you level up into a true partnership leader.”
Written for two readers at once: the operator who needs to pitch with confidence, and the busy leader whose default answer is no.

What Alumni Say
Operators from leading partner organizations on what changed for them.
"This was not just another course. The frameworks changed how I think about partnerships, from who to sign to how to actually activate them."
"One of the most valuable professional development experiences I've had. Strategic, practical, and highly applicable across partnership models."
"I thought this would mainly be networking. I was not prepared for how much it would change how I approach the business and my partners."
"Invaluable for improving how I operate as a Partner Manager. The real value was practical experience, honest peer learning, and stronger confidence."

From AI-curious to AI-era operator — in 8 weeks.
In 8 weeks, you'll learn to use AI to run your partner book with more speed, clarity, structure, and commercial impact — not as a side tool, but as the operating layer underneath the work.
- Drowning in partner busywork
- Reporting eats half the week
- Partner strategy lives in your head
- Co-sell prep is rushed and inconsistent
- "Using AI" means rewriting emails in ChatGPT
- A weekly operating system that runs on AI
- Exec-ready updates in minutes, not hours
- Pressure-tested partner strategy you can defend
- Co-sell prep at AE quality
- A reusable playbook your team can run without you
Not a generic AI bootcamp. Not a Claude tutorial. The live working room for modern partner operators.
What you actually walk away with
Capabilities developed
- Drive partner-led revenue with AI-assisted plays you can actually run
- Reclaim 4–8 hours a week by killing busywork at the source
- Win executive and cross-functional buy-in with sharper internal language
- Stand up a credible co-sell motion with at least one anchor partner
- Make weekly partner decisions backed by real signal, not vibes
Artifacts you keep
- An AI-powered weekly operating system you keep using
- A reusable partner playbook with prompts and templates
- Executive-ready partner update + internal alignment brief
- Signal dashboard spec + partner prioritization framework
- A personal operator narrative — and a long-term peer network
The five things operators actually ask before signing up.
Direct answers — no soft-sell.
"I'm slammed."
1 hour live per week. Designed for operators with a real day job. Every workshop is recorded.
"I'll miss sessions."
Miss up to 3 of 8 and still graduate. Recordings + Slack keep you in the loop.
"I can just use Claude myself."
You can. Most operators don't, and the ones who do plateau at "better email writer." This is the room where you go from casual user to operator-grade use.
"Is this just another course?"
No lectures-at-you. Live working room, real artifacts, real partner peers, real critique.
"Is $1,500 worth it?"
One sourced or influenced deal, one promotion case, or one reclaimed afternoon per week pays it back. Most operators expense it via their L&D stipend — cheaper than another quarter of figuring it out alone.

Same format. Now pointed at the AI era.
Three years of cohort data on one of the most-used tools in the modern partner stack — Crossbeam — show what the live working room format does to operator skill. Same room, same reps, same artifacts. Now rebuilt around AI-era partner execution.
+45% lift in Account Mapping skill — the Crossbeam motion that turns overlap into pipeline.
Almost everyone in modern partnerships has a Crossbeam seat. Almost nobody is using it like a revenue operator. Our cohort enters at 2.30 / 5 — exporting CSVs, eyeballing overlap, hoping a partner manager on the other side returns the intro. Eight weeks later they're at 3.33 / 5: building named target-account lists out of Crossbeam, walking into sales with overlap-backed pipeline, and running their ecosystem like an AE runs a territory.
This isn't a Crossbeam product certification. It's the operator layer on top of it — the judgment, the workflow, and the internal motion that actually converts ecosystem signal into sourced and influenced revenue.
