A one-day practical workshop

AI that earns its keep.

A focused day for established business owners and professionals who want to use AI more capably and safely in real work — without the hype, the jargon or a promise to rebuild the business by teatime.

  • Small mixed cohort
  • One day, face to face
  • Surrey and Kent
How enquiries work

A practical starting point

Begin with a simple enquiry, then establish the practical context.

Start by telling us what brings you to the day. A short capability conversation then helps set realistic expectations around the tools and working context you bring with you.

  1. Start the conversationTell us your role, organisation and the kind of work you want to improve.
  2. Establish your contextDiscuss the AI products and account arrangements that shape what is practical for you.
  3. Prepare for the dayBring a task, decision or recurring process that deserves attention.

Who it is for

For people with real work to improve — not a need to perform AI enthusiasm.

A good fit

  • You run or work in an established organisation.
  • You can name a task, decision or recurring piece of work that needs attention.
  • You want practical judgement about useful tools, limits and verification.
  • You are prepared to try safe examples on the day.

This may not be the right day

  • You need a general introduction to ChatGPT alone.
  • You expect a bespoke workflow, script, plug-in or agent to be built for you during the workshop.
  • You are looking primarily for a certificate or a product demonstration.
  • Your needs require a company-wide implementation programme.

The day

A workshop flow from useful work to a clear next move.

Each part of the day builds practical judgement, from choosing worthwhile work through to testing a next step with suitable checks.

09:15

Arrive, orient and set boundaries

What current AI products can and cannot reliably do; information, account and verification boundaries.

A safe starting point.

10:15

Choose work worth improving

Find one-off and repeatable tasks where better judgement, drafting, research or preparation could help.

A selected use case.

11:45

Work with the tools, critically

Brief, iterate, check and improve outputs using examples that suit your own work.

A repeatable way to test useful work.

14:00

From one-off task to repeatable practice

Templates, checklists, hand-offs and human checks — without pretending every activity should be automated.

A practical next step and guardrails.

15:30

Make a 90-day plan

Prioritise a small number of experiments, owners and evidence checks.

A written plan to take back to work.

16:45

Close and decide what comes next

Consider practical constraints, support needs and the point at which advanced follow-on work may be appropriate.

A realistic next decision.

What you take away

More capable use of the products you already meet at work.

Better task judgement

A way to select worthwhile tasks and decide when AI is not the right tool.

Safer working habits

Practical awareness of account, information and verification boundaries.

A prioritised next step

A short plan for testing useful practice in your own context.

Facilitators

People who understand delivery as well as the pitch.

Tom Maverley

Commercial strategy

Tom brings commercial and marketing leadership experience to the question that matters most: where could a tool or practice be genuinely useful to the business?

Robert Barbour

Technical design

Robert designs, builds and runs systems. He brings practical judgement about how work is shaped, checked and sustained after a workshop — without assuming every idea should become a software build.
