In short
What Torque is An AI agency for marketing and sales, built to make your company more money.
Who the training is for The CEO, head of marketing, head of sales and the directors who lead their teams, at B2B companies of 50 people and up.
What you learn How AI changes your market and your company, and what that means for the decisions only you can make: what is real and what is noise, where AI can make your company money, what to invest in and in what order, the risks of AI agents, data and security and how to manage them, and how to answer the hard questions from your board and your team.
How the training works Five one-hour sessions, one to one and online. Torque's founder leads every session, and a senior expert joins when a topic needs one, such as AI security.

Your people already use AI regularly, with or without a plan from the top.
THE PROBLEM
Soon your board will ask: what is your AI plan? And you need real answers. McKinsey found the biggest barrier to AI is leadership: only 1% of leaders call their company mature in AI.

78% of people who use AI at work bring their own AI tools.
THE PROBLEM
Without a plan from the top, your team figures AI out alone, on personal accounts your company doesn't control.

Most companies use AI. Only 6% make real profit from AI.
THE PROBLEM
And two-thirds of boards say they have limited to no knowledge or experience with AI.

AI agents now run whole workflows on their own. They don't get tired, don't get sick, and work 24/7.
WHAT IS COMING
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei told Axios AI could wipe out half of all entry-level white-collar jobs within one to five years. Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis expects AGI within five to ten years.
Sources: Axios, 28 May 2025; CNBC, March 2025. What the people building AI say, not established facts.

Companies that train their people in AI will soon be out of reach. The rest will scramble to catch up. Which side do you want to be on?
THE CHOICE
New technologies tend to spread in the same order: early adopters, the early majority, the late majority, the laggards. Nobody wants to be the leader who saw the shift coming and waited.

Large companies aren't waiting. They're training their people in AI.
WHAT LARGE COMPANIES ARE DOING
PwC committed to training all 65,000 people at PwC US in AI. Citi made AI training mandatory for 175,000 employees.

AI engines do the research, the follow-up and the first drafts, around the clock. Your people do the work only people can do.
AN AI-CAPABLE COMPANY
And everyone speaks one language about AI, from agents and tokens to hallucinations and the tools you choose, so leadership and teams pull in the same direction.
Page 10
Picture your company in two years: a leadership team aligned and ahead on AI, managers leading AI in their teams, and AI engines doing the repetitive work around the clock.
THE RESULT
When leadership is ahead, the whole company follows. Now picture your competitor there first. It starts with you: a leader who truly understands AI, not just on the surface. Your board and your team can tell the difference. Your unfair advantage in the biggest technology shift since the internet.

Torque is an AI agency for marketing and sales, built to make your company more money.
WHAT TORQUE IS
We build AI engines: agents, workflows and dashboards that work around the clock. Executive AI Training passes that experience on to your leadership team.
Page 12
We build and run AI engines every day, so we know what AI really does, and what AI can't do yet.
WHY TORQUE
Think of a racing team: the engineers build the engine, the drivers race, and the team principal sets the strategy and makes the calls. You are the team principal. Your people drive, Torque builds the AI engines, and we teach you to lead with AI.
Page 13
If you're the CEO, head of marketing or head of sales, this is for you: a clear view of AI, the decisions AI asks of you, and the answers your board and your team expect.
TORQUE EXECUTIVE AI TRAINING

Executive AI Training, session by session
1. Signal and noise
How AI changes your market and your company. What is real, what is noise, and where agents, AGI and superintelligence are heading.
2. Where AI can make your company money
Where AI earns money first in your marketing and sales, from the AI engines Torque builds and runs, and what your competitors already do.
3. What to invest in, and in what order
Tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Microsoft Copilot, AI engines and skills: what to fund, what to skip, and what each choice costs.
4. Risk, security and control
The risks of AI agents, data and security, and how Torque helps you keep a person in charge.
5. Your people, your board, your plan
How your workforce changes, from hiring to the skills you need; answers from “What is our AI strategy?” to “What happens to my job?”; and your one-page AI plan.
Torque's founder leads every session, and a senior expert joins when a topic needs one, such as AI security. After every session you get a written summary; after session 5, a wrap-up with your one-page AI plan.

Questions executives ask about the training
Who is the training for?
The CEO, head of marketing, head of sales and the directors who lead their teams, at B2B companies of 50 people and up. Training for managers and teams is available on request.
What does the training cover?
Five one-hour sessions, one to one: signal and noise; where AI can make your company money; what to invest in, and in what order; risk, security and control; and your people, your board and your plan.
Do I learn prompts and tools?
No. Executive AI Training is about decisions, not prompts. If you have technical questions, such as how AI connects to your systems, a senior expert joins the session to answer them.
Who teaches the training?
Torque's founder leads every session: a three-time CMO, with senior roles at Nike, Jordan Brand and Philips before that. A senior expert joins when a topic needs one, such as AI security.
Page 19
Questions executives ask about risk and timing
Why now?
The shift is already happening. Two-thirds of boards still have limited to no knowledge of AI (Deloitte, 2025), while PwC and Citi train their people.
Can AI agents go rogue?
They can, under the wrong conditions. In July 2026, about 700 OpenAI agents in a training run on hacking challenges joined an attack on Hugging Face (METR, August 2026). Session 4 covers what agents may and may not do in your company.
How are those agents different from the agents Torque builds?
That swarm was about 1,200 agents in a training run: test drivers on a closed track, pushed to break every limit. Each agent in a Torque AI engine is a skilled driver on public roads: one route, clear traffic rules, only the access that job needs, and a person who approves what goes out.

Questions executives ask before they book
Do we need the training to get a Lead Engine or Content Engine?
No. Executive AI Training is separate and optional. We do recommend the training for every leadership team that invests in a Lead Engine or Content Engine: when the leaders understand AI, the whole company gets more out of the investment.
How do payments work?
You pay in full when you book the training. Prices exclude VAT.
What do I get for the price?
Five one-hour sessions, one to one and online; a senior expert when a topic needs one; a written summary after every session; and a wrap-up after session 5 with your own one-page AI plan.
Is the training online?
Yes, you can join from anywhere. Torque is based in the Netherlands. In-person training is available on request, at a separate fee that depends on the location.
Do we need the Torque Audit first?
No. Executive AI Training starts after a free 30-minute call. The Torque Audit is only required before Torque builds a Lead Engine, a Content Engine or another AI engine for your company.
Who are Torque's clients?
Torque started in 2026. Torque is part of Richeness Media, which since 2018 has helped 50+ clients with brand strategy, digital marketing, social media, websites and e-commerce.
