CEO, Digital Training Institute & Public Sector Marketing Institute

I help organisations move from AI curiosity to AI confidence. With 25+ years in digital transformation, Harvard Kennedy School credentials in AI and Public Policy, and having trained thousands of people across over 100 organisations in AI, I bring practical, non-technical AI training to leadership teams and frontline staff alike.

Your organisation is using AI. The question is whether anyone is steering it.

AI adoption has surged across every sector. But in most organisations, adoption has outpaced strategy. Teams are experimenting with free tools, making decisions based on unverified AI outputs, and operating without clear policies or governance structures.

The gap is not technology. It is leadership, training, and process. That is what we help you build.

Tools are being adopted faster than policies can keep pace, creating shadow usage, unmanaged risk, and no line of sight for leadership.

Nobody is measuring actual business impact. Adoption metrics look healthy, but outputs are not being reviewed before decisions are made.

Data governance, consent protocols, and liability questions remain unanswered, particularly as AI shifts from assistant to autonomous agent.

Staff lack the training to critically evaluate AI outputs, leading to unverified information influencing real business decisions.

Know AI. Use AI. Govern AI.

Every programme we deliver is built on three pillars. Whether you need a focused governance workshop or a full organisational transformation, the framework stays the same.

PILLAR 1

Know AI

Build AI literacy across your organisation. Understand what AI can and cannot do, where the risks are, and what best practice looks like in your sector.

  • AI landscape and capabilities
  • Sector-specific use cases and risks
  • Leadership briefings and strategy sessions
  • AI readiness assessment

PILLAR 2

Use AI

Get your teams using AI tools with confidence. Practical, hands-on training in prompting, tool selection, output validation, and real workflow integration.

  • Prompting and tool training
  • Role-specific use cases
  • Output validation and critical evaluation
  • Workflow integration and embedding

PILLAR 3

Govern AI

Put the structures in place to manage AI responsibly. Policy, governance frameworks, accountability, and a clear plan for ongoing oversight.

  • AI use policy and acceptable use guidelines
  • Risk governance and compliance
  • Roles, responsibilities, and sign-off processes
  • Board-ready documentation

From diagnostic to delivery. A clear process, every time.

Whether you book a half-day workshop or the full AI Readiness programme, every engagement follows a structured process designed to deliver practical, lasting results.

01

Diagnose

We start with a diagnostic. An AI audit questionnaire or organisation-wide readiness survey to map where you are, what your teams are using, and where the gaps sit.

02

Deliver

Facilitated workshops, leadership briefings, and hands-on training sessions. Structured, practical, and designed to make real decisions in the room.

03

Document

Every engagement produces a tangible output. An AI policy, a governance framework, a strategy document, or training materials your teams can use immediately.

04

Follow Up

Implementation support after the workshop. A follow-up call to review progress, troubleshoot challenges, and refine your approach as your teams embed AI into their work.

Every programme includes a custom AI policy for your organisation. Choose the level of engagement that fits your needs.
