What We Cover

Everything your team needs to start with confidence.

The AI Foundations Workshop covers the essential knowledge every employee needs before using AI tools in a business context, from understanding how AI works to using it safely and effectively.

What AI Is and How It Works

We explain AI in plain language without jargon. Participants learn how large language models, machine learning, and generative AI tools actually work, giving them a foundation to evaluate AI tools confidently.

AI BasicsPlain LanguageFoundations

What AI Can and Cannot Do

We set accurate expectations by covering the genuine capabilities of AI tools alongside their real limitations, including hallucinations, bias, and the tasks where AI consistently underperforms.

Responsible and Safe AI Use

Participants learn the principles of responsible AI use including data privacy, avoiding sensitive data in public tools, and the ethical considerations that apply when using AI in a business context.

AI Tools in the Workplace

We introduce the AI tools most relevant to your organisation, including Microsoft Copilot, ChatGPT, and other tools your team may already have access to, with practical demonstrations of each.

Role-Relevant AI Applications

We show participants how AI applies to their specific role, using examples from their industry and job function so the training feels immediately relevant rather than abstract.

How We Work

From survey to confident adoption.

01

Pre-Workshop Survey

We send a short survey to participants before the session to understand their current AI knowledge, concerns, and the tools they already use, so we can tailor the content appropriately.

02

Content Customisation

We customise the workshop content to reflect your industry, the AI tools your organisation uses, and the specific roles of the participants attending the session.

03

Half-Day Workshop Delivery

The workshop runs for approximately four hours, combining short presentations with hands-on exercises and group discussion. Maximum 15 participants per session for quality interaction.

04

Q and A and Discussion

A dedicated Q and A session allows participants to raise specific concerns, ask about tools they have heard of, and discuss how AI applies to their particular work challenges.

05

Personal Action Plans

Each participant completes a personal action plan during the session identifying the AI tools and techniques most relevant to their role and the steps they will take to apply them.

06

30-Day Follow-Up

We check in with participants 30 days after the workshop to answer questions that have arisen in practice and share additional resources based on the tools they have been exploring.

Real Results

AI foundations training for UK organisations.

Professional Services Firm

A 120-person professional services firm wanted to build a baseline understanding of AI across all staff before rolling out Microsoft Copilot. Many employees were anxious about AI and its impact on their roles.

AI Foundations Workshop delivered to 8 groups of 15 staff. Anxiety reduced significantly. 94% of participants reported feeling confident about AI use. Copilot rollout proceeded with strong staff buy-in.

Independent School

A secondary school wanted to help teaching and administrative staff understand AI tools before students started using them in lessons. Staff had very mixed levels of prior knowledge.

Tailored AI Foundations Workshop delivered to 45 staff. Content adapted for education context. Staff left with clear guidance on acceptable AI use and practical examples relevant to teaching and administration.

Healthcare Provider

A private healthcare group wanted to introduce AI tools to their administrative teams but needed to ensure all staff understood the data privacy implications before any tools were deployed.

Workshop delivered with strong focus on data privacy and GDPR obligations. All 60 administrative staff attended. Clear acceptable use guidelines established. AI tool deployment proceeded with full compliance confidence.
