What we do

Bespoke AI training designed to work.

Every programme is built from scratch around your team. Your workflows, your tools, your problems. We deliver in person. And we measure everything, so you never have to take our word for it.

We practise what we teach

Our instructors are founders and operators using AI in their own work every day. We teach what holds up in practice, not what sounds good in theory.

Designed around your team

Every workshop is shaped around your workflows, tools, and challenges. No templates, no stock exercises, and no generic demos.

In person. Hands-on.

Small cohorts, real work, and hands-on practice from the first session. Not a webinar, not a video course, and not passive training.

Your team leaves ready

Every participant leaves with a workflow they have built themselves. Something practical they can use straight away to work better.

We prove it works

We measure what changes before, during, and after the work. Surveys, check-ins, and resurveys give you clear evidence of impact.

With you for the long haul

Strategy, governance, tool selection, and culture change don't end after one workshop. We stay close as your team’s AI needs evolve.

Who this is for

You know AI is changing everything. Now you need to make sure your team doesn't get left behind.

Most teams will settle for a free webinar and a Copilot licence. This isn't for them. This is for the teams that actually want AI to work.

  • You see what's coming.

    AI is reshaping your industry. You want to be the team that got there first.

  • You're building something bigger than a training programme.

    You want an AI-native culture. You need someone who's done it before.

  • You've seen what bad training looks like.

    You've sat through the webinar. You've watched the enthusiasm fade. You're not doing that again.

  • You're putting your name on this.

    You're championing this internally. We give you the data to back it up and make your team look good.

Why we're different

AI training that drives real results

Not e-learning

We build culture change and an AI-native mindset. Clicking through modules doesn't.

Not generic training

We make it relevant to your team's actual work, so people get value from day one.

Not academic theory

Your team wants to do their job better with AI, not study for a degree. We get them there in a day.

Not a consultancy bolt-on

AI isn't our upsell. It's the only thing we do, every single day.

What we offer

Everything your team needs to get ahead.

Go from dabbling to delivering results. Strategy, training, tools, coaching, measurement. Everything is bespoke to your team and we'll handle the lot.

AI Enablement

We map your workflows, tools, and team structure to identify the highest-value AI use cases for your specific context. We help you choose the right tools for your organisation and create practical AI usage policies that people actually follow. It's never off-the-shelf: the output is shaped around your team, your documents, and what you need to unlock first.

AI Strategy

A facilitated session for leadership teams that uses competitive landscape analysis and your internal data to build consensus on AI priorities and a pragmatic roadmap with clear next steps. Quarterly check-ins help keep that roadmap up to date and aligned with the latest trends. You leave with an actionable AI roadmap aligned to your business objectives.

Bespoke AI Training

Hands-on workshops covering ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, and Gemini, tailored to your team's real tasks and data. Most in-house classes are one day, typically 10am to 5pm, and built around the assistant your firm actually uses. Participants leave with techniques they can apply to their work the same day.

Agent Co-Creation

Full-day workshops where we help your team define and build AI agents for your specific workflows. From use case discovery in the morning to working agents by the afternoon. No coding experience required. These usually work best as an ongoing series, with each session shaped around the next high-value workflow your team wants to automate.

AI Activation

We run an AI in Action session to show your team the art of the possible across different tools and use cases, set up your champions programme and support it on an ongoing basis, provide template comms for rollout, and help you develop a practical best-practice usage policy.

Ongoing Support

Ongoing access to our instructors for anyone in your team. This includes tailored coaching to help people go further, push the boundaries of what AI can do in their role, and get extra support where it's needed, alongside monthly emails on the latest feature releases and why they matter for your team.

Your instructors

Practitioners, not trainers

We don't teach AI from slides. We use it to run our business. Our workflows, our reporting, our client work. Everything. When we train your team, we're teaching what we do, not what we've read.

How it works

Designed for your team. Built to stick.

Every programme is shaped around your team, guided by what we've seen work across hundreds of organisations: align the work, build momentum, train the right people, then measure what changed.

The typical journey

01

Start with strategy

A typical engagement begins with strategy and enablement work so we can understand your workflows, goals, tool stack, and where the biggest opportunities sit.

02

Build momentum with activation

Then we help create internal pull with AI in Action all-hands sessions, champions programmes, and rollout support that keeps adoption moving across the firm.

03

Train the whole organisation

From there we usually run bespoke Mastering workshops for the teams that need them, tailored to whichever assistant your organisation actually uses.

04

Keep going with agents and coaching

The strongest programmes continue with AI Agent Co-Creation workshops and 1:1 coaching for advanced staff and internal leaders as new use cases emerge.

Proven across hundreds of organisations

From discovery call through to post-training measurement, we handle customisation, delivery, and follow-up so you can see exactly what changed.
