The day

Let’s up your game

A practical session, with a lot of discussion about how smaller companies become AI-ready. You will also meet the other AI leads in the room, and hear the challenges they are running into and how they are approaching them.

Master the AI Mindset

We will start first by diving deep into the fundamentals—giving you the practical frameworks to think critically and strategically about AI in your daily operations.

Safe & Secure Rollouts

Innovate without the risk. Discover proven frameworks for introducing AI into your workflows securely—protecting your company data while driving sustainable, day-to-day team adoption.

The ‘Build vs. Buy’ Playbook

Stop guessing on tech investments. Learn exactly when it makes strategic sense to leverage existing, off-the-shelf software, and when building a custom solution is actually worth the time and capital.

Future-Proof Your Strategy

AI moves fast. We cut through the noise to show you where the technology is actually heading, ensuring the decisions and investments you make today will hold up tomorrow.

Clear Costs & ROI

Get a transparent breakdown of what you can expect to pay for what. Understand the different tools, tiers, and licences as well as their pros and cons, so you can build a business case to your CFO.

Unlock New Opportunities

Shift from simple efficiency to real innovation. Train your eye to spot untapped potential across your business, and learn how to transform your standard services into highly competitive, AI-enhanced offerings.

It carries on afterwards, too. You will have access to follow-up resources, and to a community of other AI leads.

The ideal participant

This course is for you if:

  • You have been given a remit of building an AI strategy.
  • You are enthusiastic about the use of AI and concerned about the threat.
  • You need to make or influence real decisions about tools, spend and rollout.
  • You want to know what you're talking about when it comes to what's possible.

No technical background needed. If you can use a laptop confidently, you will keep up.

“Intuitive, instructive, and informative. I approached Get Started with AI with a rudimentary level of understanding... I emerged with a greater knowledge of how I can implement the various models into my business structure, armed with a suite of apps to integrate into our current systems, make tasks within my daily work schedule easier, and greatly increase the efficiency of my business by taking out the heavy lifting of research and bureaucracy thus saving the outlay of labour and finances which tie up so many SMEs.”
