S01 — The Adoption Problem
Most businesses have tried AI. A ChatGPT licence here, a Copilot trial there. Then it stalls. The gap between buying AI and getting value from it is a people problem, and that is what we fix first.
01 / Usage
Adoption clusters around one or two enthusiasts while the rest of the team carries on exactly as before.
02 / Safety
Without an agreed rule on customer and commercial data, caution wins and the tools sit idle.
03 / Checking
Confident wording is not proof of accuracy. Teams need a checking habit before AI output touches a customer.
04 / Method
Leadership wants an AI strategy while the actual work stays manual. A memorable method beats a strategy document.
Start with your people, not another platform. One working session changes what your team asks of AI every day after it.

In the room, your team learns to
Which jobs are right for AI, and which are not.
One clear, agreed rule on customer and commercially sensitive data.
Context, Role, Interview, Task. When information is missing, the AI interviews the user instead of inventing answers.
Humans set the direction, AI does the middle 80%, humans check and own the result.
For a task they actually do every week, tested against a real example and saved for reuse.
Included in the Adoption Programme
The adoption goal: staff routinely ask "could AI do this faster, better or more consistently?" Usage is reviewed against real workflows, rather than assumed after the training.
Leadership / Strategy
Two focused hours to agree priorities, guardrails, ownership and the next sensible investment.

Workshops surface the truth about your business: which tasks drain the most time, which processes are rule-based enough to automate, and where AI removes a real bottleneck rather than a hypothetical one.

That's the difference between using AI for a task and building a dependable business tool with AI. We do both, in the right order.
S04 — Why This Works
01 / Format
Nobody watches a demo for 90 minutes. Everyone builds a workflow for a task from their own job.
02 / Safety
Every workshop includes your agreed data rule: what staff may and may not put into AI tools.
03 / Accountability
The 10/80/10 model keeps your people accountable for every output. AI assists; it is never the accountable employee.
04 / Evidence
In the Adoption Programme, we track who used their workflow, how often and what time it released. Real examples, not inflated claims.
Northamptonshire's practical AI partner
We're local. Workshops run at your premises anywhere in Northamptonshire and the surrounding counties. No London day rates, no fly-in consultants, and we're still here next month when your team has questions.
S05 — The 10/80/10 Framework
10/80/10 is the operating principle we teach in every workshop. It helps your team decide where human judgement is essential, where AI increases throughput, and where accountable review must happen before work is used or sent.
Alongside it sits CRIT: Context, Role, Interview, Task. A briefing method your staff can remember, reuse and pass on. Together they turn "have a go with ChatGPT" into a repeatable way of working.

Define the outcome, supply context and decide what good looks like.
AI-Supported Work
Research, organise, draft, analyse, transform or propose.
Human Review
Check facts, apply judgement, edit, approve and take responsibility.
AI increases capacity. People retain direction, judgement and accountability.
