Not booking in-house yet? The public masterclass covers the same 4A material as a scheduled, facilitated session for individual registrants: owners and managers whose companies aren't booking in-house yet. Paid for the public, free for partner chambers.
These programs are part of Tellix, Jerry's company-facing AI adoption offering built on The 4A Blueprint™: the in-house workshops on this page, plus use-case discovery, prioritization, and implementation support for companies that want to go further than training.
Workshops are delivered by Olern, the AI consulting company Jerry co-founded and leads as CEO — the same team behind the reviews below. One team handles every inquiry and proposal, whichever page you start from.
And the workshops run on AI themselves: Olern has taught with AI inside the room, personalized per participant, since April 2023. Jerry also runs what he teaches — his own company operates on its AI agents, with an AI operations manager reporting to him daily.
Practical AI skills your team can use at work
Participants practice applying AI to business tasks, improving instructions, and reviewing outputs. The workshop helps them recognize useful applications and understand where human judgment remains essential.
We don't start with tools. We start with where your team is today.
Content and examples are tailored to the audience and agreed learning objectives. The 4A Blueprint frames where your team is today, because training a Level 1 team and a Level 3 team the same way wastes half the room's time. Training is the capability-building layer of practical AI adoption: the skills your people need for the level you're moving to, not a standalone seminar.
And the training is built for what happens after the room empties: participants leave with relevant next steps for applying AI in their work, and companies that want a longer arc extend into AI strategy consulting. Adoption is the measure, not the applause.
Built around your company, not a fixed menu
Every engagement is tailored to the audience and agreed learning objectives. These seven are the rooms companies book most — tell us what your team needs and the room is built around it.
AI for Employees
Level 1 fluency for the whole team: prompting that gets consistent, checkable output, reviewing what AI produces, and the habits that stick.
AI for Managers
Running AI-assisted teams: what to delegate to AI, how to review its work, and how to keep the habit going after the workshop.
AI for Executives
Where the company sits on the Blueprint, what Levels 2 and 3 demand, governance, and the decisions leadership owns.
AI for Marketing
Better content, not more content: where AI fits in your marketing workflow and how the team keeps quality high.
AI for HR
Hiring, onboarding, and people workflows with AI — built on frameworks Jerry has delivered to government workforce trainers nationwide.
AI Workflow Automation
The Level 2 workshop: which processes pass the three-part automation test, and how to scope the first one.
Building AI Agents
A specialized program, scoped per company: participants work on an agent for a real task from your business, as Republic Cement’s AI Champions did with Microsoft Copilot. The proposal sets the build targets.
Republic Cement's "AI Champions" cohort — supply chain, finance, HR, plant operations, IT; mostly non-coders. Participants submitted the agents they wanted to create before the session, and Jerry prepared customized guidance for each use case. They then built and tested Version 1 in Microsoft Copilot Agent Builder. One participant's recurring daily supply-chain report went from around 40 minutes manually to under five minutes; another rebuilt the monthly KPI report that used to take an hour by hand.

Enterprise experience, entrepreneur mindset
Seven years at Procter & Gamble gave Jerry first-hand experience inside a large multinational organization: the scale, governance, processes, and leadership realities big companies live with. As an entrepreneur who later built retail and technology businesses, he also understands the constraints, speed, and practical decision-making of smaller companies.
His workshops combine both perspectives, helping leadership teams think strategically while keeping AI practical enough to use in real work.
Three companies, three kinds of proof
During an AI workshop for Motor Ace Philippines' President, CEO, department heads, and management team, participants applied AI to analyses they had already completed manually.
One analysis that had previously taken around two weeks was reproduced in minutes, and the key conclusions aligned with the manually prepared version. In Finance, a sensitivity-analysis task that normally took roughly half a day was completed in about five minutes. HR performed attrition analysis in minutes and compared the output with its existing manual work — the kind of use case mapped in AI for HR in the Philippines.
After an AI workshop for Lapanday's CEO, department heads, and management team, a manager with no software-development background used AI-assisted development to create an operational application for a real business requirement.
The significance wasn't that IT became unnecessary. The queue got shorter. Lapanday's IT head also estimated AI was helping its developers work around 20% faster in some development activities, and described the workshop as an "eye-opener" for management. (For the full agriculture map, see AI for Agriculture & Agribusiness.)

After an earlier AI workshop for HR managers and directors, Republic Cement invited Jerry back to conduct a more advanced session for its AI Champions. This time, the focus was Microsoft Copilot AI agents.
Participants submitted the agents they wanted to build before the workshop. Jerry reviewed their ideas in advance, prepared customized implementation guidance, and helped participants build first working versions during the session. One AI Champion turned a recurring daily supply-chain report from around 40 minutes manually to under five minutes.

Half-day sensitivity analysis → about 5 minutes
Pamela Pepito, Accounting Manager of Borromeo Motoring Group, shared that a sensitivity-analysis task that could normally take roughly half a day was completed in about five minutes with AI during the workshop.
Attrition analysis completed in minutes
Marben Tiu, Head of HR, Learning & OD at Motor Ace Philippines, used AI to analyze attrition data during the workshop and compared the output with the team's existing manually prepared analysis. The findings were consistent, while AI produced the analysis within minutes.
A workshop is often the starting point, not the end
Some companies stop after the workshop with skills that pay back on their own. Others keep going, one step at a time:
- AI workshopThe team builds shared skills and sees what AI can do on its own work.
- Use-case discoveryEach function lists where AI could help.
- PrioritizationManagement picks which opportunities to pursue first.
- AI strategy consultingA roadmap with named owners and guardrails.
- Build and implementationAutomations, AI agents, and working solutions.
- Continuous capabilityAdvanced sessions and internal AI champions.
The pathway follows The 4A Blueprint™: the workshop builds the Assistants-level skills most teams need first, and the later steps are where Automation and Agents come in. No company has to take every step. Republic Cement, for one, came back for a more advanced session on Microsoft Copilot agents for its AI Champions.
For companies that want the Blueprint built with them, not just taught: after the workshop, consulting works with management on which AI opportunities matter, in what order, with what guardrails. The engagement, the process, and what you walk away with are on the consulting page.

“My training experience at Olern for Pricing Strategies has been great, despite it being just for a day. It was jam-packed with information and suggestions on how we can more effectively price our services, and what are things we must consider. The AI they used for us contained a lot of valuable information as well that we can use in our specific business.”
“Sir Jerry Ilao's presentation during the NEW's 15th Annual Conference was very insightful. I enjoyed using olern.ai as well especially on how to brand and improve my small business.”
“The practical examples and clear explanations made AI concepts simple and relevant. The session was insightful and inspiring, leaving us motivated to explore AI in our work.”

“Sir Jerry Ilao and the Team Olern is the Best when it comes to AI :)”
“Sir Jerry Ilao and the Olern team is very professional and well-known their craft. I basically learned Ai to this team first time. True indeed that "Your next competitive edge isn't a tool – it's how fast your people can adapt (Jerry Ilao). Thanks Sir for an eye opener. Ai is the new era now. God bless! More clients and learning!”
Motor Ace showed what can happen during an AI workshop: real analyses compressed from hours or weeks to minutes. Lapanday showed what can happen after the workshop: a non-developer manager turned what he learned into an operational application. Republic Cement showed what can happen next: internal AI Champions learning to build reusable Microsoft Copilot agents around real work.
AI training should not stop at awareness. The goal is to help your organization build capability that grows over time.
