Two days to turn AI from noise into something your team can use
A hands-on workshop for up to sixteen of your people. You finish having built real automations and applications for your own work, a drafted AI usage policy for your company, and clarity on what to do next.
£7,495plus VAT
Up to 16 people. Two facilitators. Two follow-up calls included.
Most AI training does not survive the week
People come back from a course energised, and nothing changes. The tools were interesting, but nobody built anything, the examples were about someone else's business, and by Friday everyone is back to doing it the old way. This is built the other way round. Everything comes from your business, and you leave with tools that work.
Who this is for, and who it is not for
Who this is for
- You know AI matters, but nobody in the business has used it seriously yet
- Your team is curious, sceptical, or both
- You want to understand what is real before you spend anything on tools
Who this is not for
- You already know which process you want to automate and need it built
- You want a strategy document rather than two days of hands-on work
- You are looking for training on one specific tool
What you get
- Real automations and applications, built on your own problems, not demonstrations of someone else's
- An acceptable use policy drafted from a legally reviewed template, plus clauses for your privacy policy and terms
- A scored shortlist of every opportunity your team surfaced
- Our honest read on what to do next, and what to leave alone
- Everyone in the room having used AI on their own work
What actually happens across the two days
Day one
Understand it, then automate something
- We start with a wall. Everyone writes down three tasks they would happily never do again.
- What AI actually is, and is not. Demonstrated rather than presented.
- Everyone works hands-on with their own emails and documents, not a sample dataset.
- We sort the wall together: what makes a good use case, and what makes a bad one.
- Then the don't bother session, where we take cards off the wall and say why.
- The afternoon is building. Teams of four, one problem each, and by five o'clock every team demonstrates something that runs.
Day two
Make it safe, then build something bigger
- What actually leaves your business when you use these tools, where GDPR and the EU AI Act apply, and how to keep customer data where it belongs.
- You draft your own acceptable use policy from a template built with a technology law firm.
- Then the hackathon. Teams collaboratively building working solutions in parallel, using no-code tools.
- We finish by calculating what each tool is worth to your business, and deciding what to do next.
On site or run remotely
On site
Two days in a room together, with a physical wall of cards and teams working shoulder to shoulder. The energy is higher, and a facilitator can see a team stall from across the room.
Remote
The same two days and the same builds, run over a shared board and breakout rooms. Right for hybrid and distributed teams, and it takes away the cost and hassle of getting sixteen people into one building.
Making use of what you have, and the tools we work with
Most of what gets built runs on what you already pay for. Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace for the assistant and the automation, so nothing new turns up on your bill afterwards.
For building applications we use Lovable, because we use it ourselves and can show you things we have actually built rather than describe them. Where a workflow needs more than your own tools can manage, we will show you something like n8n and tell you what it costs.
We earn a small commission from Lovable. It adds nothing to what you pay, and we would use it either way.
What we need from you
- Two consecutive days, on site
- Up to sixteen people, including the ones doing the work
- A twenty-minute call with whoever runs the business, a week beforehand
- A room, a screen, and no preparation from anyone attending
Two calls, included
Most of the value from a workshop like this evaporates in the first fortnight. These exist to stop that, and they are part of the price rather than an upsell.
At 14 days
Did it survive contact with reality? A practical call to unstick anything that broke and check what is still running.
At 30 days
What has actually changed, and what is next. The shortlist comes back out.
