Academy

Æilus training is designed to teach how to work deliberately with value in complex systems — with a shared language, clear ownership, and repeatable operational loops.

The training program follows the structure of Æilus v2.0:

  • VMT - the theoretical foundation (how value behaves),
  • Æilus Methodology - principles, roles, processes, artifacts, domains, and practices (how to work with value),
  • Æilus Design Practice - real cases, schemas, and operational application (how it looks in real systems).

Role-based learning paths (Æilus v2.0)

Training in Æilus is organized around roles. Roles are functional ownership models, not hierarchy titles. Each role requires a different set of skills and responsibilities.

Core roles

Value Transformer Owner (VTO)

For owners of value production inside a transformer. Focus: practice selection and adaptation, improving realized value under constraints, reducing anti-value and local resistance, and maintaining delivery capability over time.

Value System Owner (VSO)

For owners of system sustainability. Focus: system boundaries and configuration, participation conditions, external dependencies, system-level resistance, and balancing growth of planned value with stability.

Scaling roles

Flow Owner

For large systems or critical flows where value is frequently lost between transformers. Focus: interpretation alignment across boundaries, resistance reduction, throughput and accumulation control, and preventing undelivered value.

Practice Owner

For shared or critical practices used across multiple transformers. Focus: maintaining practice design, ensuring correct implementation/adaptation, preventing cargo-cult use, and managing practice lifecycle (validation, revision, decommissioning).

Domain Owner

For critical quality contexts that constrain value interpretation (e.g., performance, availability, security, continuity, architecture). Focus: domain policies, admissibility of practices, and preventing systemic anti-value caused by domain violations.

Support role

Æilus Master

For supporting correct adoption of Æilus. Focus: methodological integrity, preventing cargo-cult adoption, facilitating alignment and retrospective events, and maintaining coherence between VMT and practical application.

What the training covers

  • Shared language: planned vs realized vs retrospective value, anti-value, resistance, participation conditions.
  • System modeling: how to describe a value system (actors, flows, boundaries, dependencies).
  • Operational loops: how to run observation, alignment, resistance reduction, and sustainability control over time.
  • Artifacts and reporting: how to make value visible and decision-ready, not “metric-heavy”.
  • Domains and policies: how to improve value without breaking constraints.
  • Practices: how to select, adapt, validate, and retire practices through a portfolio approach.

Courses and certificates

Course enrollment and certification links will be published soon.

Planned components:

  • Foundation course - VMT concepts and Æilus methodology overview.
  • Role tracks - VTO / VSO / Flow Owner / Practice Owner / Domain Owner / Æilus Master.
  • Applied labs - working with real value system schemas and reports.
  • Certification - assessment of role competency and methodological integrity.

Until public enrollment is available, you can follow updates and community discussions here:

Æilus training is designed for teams and leaders who want to make value observable, comparable, and sustainable not just “improve metrics”.
