You want your team quicker with AI: tools chosen well, people fluent, the speed real. That is Level 1 — Task Acceleration — the honest first level of three, and a legitimate thing to buy. The cohort delivers it properly, embedded in how your teams already work — with the verification and ways-of-working habits that make Level 2, changing how the work works, start on its own.
You want your team faster with AI, and nothing needs to be wrong first. That is the right ask: tool choice, fluency, and adoption done properly, before the bad habits and the shadow tooling arrive.
The pilots proved the models work. The cohort builds the organisational muscle — verification, workflow joins, accountability — that turns faster tasks into a faster organisation. This is the hinge from Level 1 to Level 2.
Training that ends when the trainer leaves is theatre. Cohorts run on your real work, so what remains is capability in your people, not a slide pack in a shared drive.
Every cohort is tailored to the teams in it, but the spine is consistent:
There are three levels of AI adoption: doing the work faster, changing how the work works, and doing work that wasn't viable before. A cohort is the first level done properly — and the verification and workflow habits it builds are how the second begins, because speed alone just moves the constraint. Starting at Level 1 isn't the mistake. Calling it arrival is.
A real engagement, anonymised to sector and scale. Every client gets that deal.
They had AI principles written down. What they didn't have was a team that could actually work to them.
A mid-sized B2B creative agency. AI confidence across the team was uneven. Some were enthusiastic, some sceptical, most were adopting it ad hoc, on their own terms. They'd done the thoughtful thing and set down their own AI principles. What they lacked was a practical, hands-on way to bring the whole team up to them.
So I built the training around their principles, not a generic curriculum.
I ran two hands-on cohorts, open to every role, not just the obvious early adopters. Because the sceptics matter as much as the keen ones when you're trying to change how a whole team works. Practical throughout: real tasks and real tools, not theory about what AI might one day do.
I'll be honest about the tier. The deliverable here was the capability, not a metric — Level 1, delivered properly, with the shared practices that make Level 2 reachable. The whole team, sceptics included, came out with hands-on skills and a shared way of working that matched the standards they'd already written down for themselves.
If that sounds like you: writing down your AI principles is the easy half. The value shows up when every role, not just the keen ones, has the hands-on skill to actually work to them.
Find where the constraint actually sits. Not where the org chart says it should be.
Build the thing that proves the pathway exists. Working software, not a slide.
Get it into live use with your people, on real cases, until it is load-bearing without me in the room.
Every engagement has a defined end. Extension is your choice, never my pitch.
I leave, and it keeps running. If you want a consultant who moves in for eighteen months, I am the wrong person — the whole point is that you don't need me.
Most AI training is delivered by people who have never shipped AI. The cohort material comes from building and running production systems, and you can check that:
Voice AI, decision engines, full-lifecycle co-pilots. Shipped, live, usable.

From the field
A B2B creative agency put its whole team through hands-on AI training, rolled the tools out firm-wide, and reports a real uptick in quality and efficiency.
Lever: People
A household-name global brand wanting to explore how AI changes the flow of value: not a tool rollout — a working design for an AI-first product-operations team, built on team and alignment work first so the design had people ready to carry it.
Lever: People + shape + tech

A short conversation is usually enough to scope a cohort. If a workshop isn't the right shape for where you are, I'll say so.
