The bank has said it openly
DBS is phasing out about 4,000 contract and temporary roles over three years as AI takes on work previously done by humans.
A hands-on, no-code masterclass for middle managers who direct teams through the AI shift.
Where AI Leader decides where the company is going, this masterclass decides what your team does on Monday. Judge the work, control the tools, and grow the people, with a plan you build in the room.
“He holds the sole-inventor patent for LLM agent systems, granted in 2023, and has spent close to two decades delivering technical training. He has hand-built AI systems for classified environments where the public internet does not exist. In this masterclass, he shares the architecture, his working methods, and the deployment blueprints drawn from completed projects, compressed into 3 days of intensive, hands-on learning.”Prebook the Manager Masterclass
Cohorts of 10 to 25, and seats are running out. Prebooking is free; you pay by invoice only when your cohort is confirmed.
The Real Problem
The trainer spent ten years managing and believing he was still hands-on. The gap arrives quietly and costs a decade.
Your team pastes work into unapproved tools. You cannot direct what you cannot see.
Without criteria for good output, every review is a mood, and your sign-off means nothing.
Job redesign keeps sliding down the priority list until the restructure decides it for you.
Hundreds of courses, the same recycled content. The trainer sat through them too, and now teaches exactly the part they all skip.
Certificates confirm attendance. The concepts that matter live only in the trainer's head. Here, they live in yours.
Do these sound familiar? Directed adoption is the fix that protects your team.
The Trainer
The playbook behind every masterclass was bought with years of production attempts and hard failures. The count of the wall is the lesson, and it is the first thing he teaches.
More than a hundred students in Singapore completed this similar AI training this year. The format is proven with a live audience.
The sole-inventor patent for LLM agent systems, granted in 2023. The legal and logical foundation of modern agents.
18 years of compute on GPUs, back when the field was called HPC, long before AI became a marketing buzzword.
Teaching engineers has been the day job for more than twenty years. Training is the craft, not a side engagement.
25 years across AWS, Azure, GCP, and on-premises bare metal, including air-gapped environments few engineers ever see.
Small cohorts keep the help personal. Seats are running out fast.
Past students say the most valuable part is simple. You get to ask a human who has done a few things successfully before.
Why Now
DBS is phasing out about 4,000 contract and temporary roles over three years as AI takes on work previously done by humans.
About 4 in 10 of those affected by the GovTech cuts were officers in their 40s.
75 per cent of all new code at Google is now AI-generated, reviewed and approved by engineers.
40 per cent of the workforce will need reskilling within three years because of AI.
AI now helps read CT scans, yet imaging demand grew even faster and radiologist vacancies stayed high. When AI makes something cheaper, the world orders more of it.
Klarna let an AI assistant do the work of 700 service agents, then rehired people when quality slipped. The winners are the humans who can direct the AI.
None of these companies failed. They restructured, and loyalty no longer shields anyone. PwC’s 2026 jobs barometer finds roles professionalised by AI growing twice as fast as the rest. Be the one directing the machines, not the one replaced by them.
The Curriculum
| Day | Morning | Afternoon | Focus |
|---|---|---|---|
| Day 1 | You get hands-on with what AI is and is not, with no code anywhere, and see what AI actually does to team workflows. | The afternoon covers model costs on a team budget, and the tool landscape of approved versus shadow usage. | See What Your Team Sees |
| Day 2 | You learn to read specs and evals, and to set acceptance criteria that keep projects honest. | Governing delivery follows, covering risk and the PDPA duties a manager carries. | Direct the Work |
| Day 3 | You work job redesign and reskilling plans, deciding which tasks AI takes and which people keep. | The capstone is your team's 90-day AI adoption plan, built by you and presented to the cohort. | Grow the Team |
Each day comprises approximately 25% guided sessions, 60% hands-on labs on a real task, and 15% structured reflection. The table above is an example. Actual content includes more practical material than described, may differ slightly as it tracks the latest industry trends, and is refreshed right up to each cohort. The exact setup guide will be shared one week before Day 1.
