Em Shreve describes two-week, in-person learning cohorts for a fully distributed company. Half the time is facilitated learning and half is spent on participants' real projects, with peer workflow sharing and daily demonstrations. Separate programs address engineers, cross-functional groups and nontechnical teams.
The engineering curriculum progresses from skills, MCP use and responsible AI to harness extensions and autonomous routines. Em Shreve emphasizes updating the curriculum as tools change. Shared MCP infrastructure and a portable skills directory let cohort projects become reusable company capabilities.
Participants are encouraged to become teachers through a guides program, regional gatherings, workflow ride-alongs and an ongoing help channel. Follow-up surveys at 72 hours, 30 days and 90 days track intentional use, integration and confidence. Examples include store analytics, support connectors and guided admin assistance, illustrating why meaningful learning time matters.
