Hub / AI adoption and skills
Tools do not change how a business works; people do. Templates, guides and insights on training by role, bringing shadow AI into the open, and making adoption stick.
The model
Why "switch it on" is not an adoption plan, and the four routes that work.
Leadership
The half-day that gives a board one shared picture of AI before it decides anything.
Rollout
Why access by role, with training first, beats giving everyone a licence on the same day.
Shadow AI
A ban moves AI use onto personal accounts. Governed access brings it back where you can see it.
Free templates drawn from CONVERGE and GOVERN, each with an editable download.
Spreadsheet
What each group must be able to do, in what format, how often, and the record you keep.
Word outline
The seven-part half-day for a board, in the order that works.
Word outline
The briefing that goes with the AI policy, with an attendance record.
Word template
An anonymous survey of what people already use, and the message that brings it into the open.
CONVERGE chapter 20 covers people, skills and shadow AI, and chapter 7 the leadership session. GOVERN chapter 3 covers the AI policy and the briefing that goes with it.
See the booksThe material on this hub is the material we use with clients. We run it for you, on your tools, your documents and your workflows.
A half- or full-day session for boards and leadership teams, on your own scenarios.
Hands-on sessions for each function on the tools you have rolled out, measured by time saved.
The full programme, from the boardroom to the codebase.
The difference between a licence and a tool people use is configuration: assistants set up for the recurring work in a function, with its templates, its tone and its rules built in. Six we configure for sales, and the pattern behind them.
A licence for everyone on day one produces a bill and a shrug. A rollout by role, with champions, measurement and enablement on each function's own tasks, produces a change in how people work. How to sequence it.
Article 4 of the EU AI Act has asked for AI literacy among staff since February 2025. The 2026 amendments softened the wording, but the expectation stands. Who it covers, what "sufficient" means, and the training that meets it without a compliance programme.
The alternative to blocking AI tools is not a free-for-all. It is five controls, all well established, that make enterprise AI safe to open and unlock the cheapest value in any AI programme.
Not a tour of tools. A good executive AI session gives a leadership team a shared vocabulary, a view of the competitive baseline, a frame for placing opportunities, and the governance map, in a day. Here is the agenda.
Research-led, product-led, system-embedded and data-foundation: every AI use case reaches deployment along one of four pathways, and treating them all as a licence to switch on is why AI programmes disappoint.
Tell us where you are with AI, and we will plan the training by role with you.
