AI Training for Leaders Who Need Results, Not Theory
Every leader knows AI matters. Almost none know what to actually do about it.
These programmes give you the knowledge and frameworks to lead AI initiatives with confidence, evaluate vendors without getting oversold, and implement tools that deliver real business value. Not theory from academics. Practical lessons from someone building and deploying AI systems right now.
AI for Modern Leaders
From strategy to execution
An immersive programme designed for leaders who need to move from AI curiosity to AI confidence. Unlike academic programmes that discuss AI theory from the sidelines, you will leave with a ready-to-execute AI roadmap, a governance framework your board will approve, and the vocabulary to lead technical conversations without getting lost. This is not about becoming a data scientist. It is about becoming the leader who knows exactly which AI bets to make and which to avoid.
You will leave able to:
- Evaluate AI opportunities and separate real value from vendor hype
- Ask the right questions of technical teams and vendors without needing to understand the code
- Build business cases that finance teams and boards actually approve
- Design AI governance that enables innovation, not blocks it
- Lead transformation with confidence and a clear 90-day roadmap
Who this is for
CEOs, founders, and senior leaders responsible for their organisation's AI direction. If you need AI confidence rather than coding skills, and want to lead the conversation rather than delegate it, this is for you.
The programme
Day 1: Strategy and Opportunity
AI landscape, opportunity mapping, asking the right questions, building the business case
Day 2: Governance and Execution
Governance frameworks, vendor evaluation, leading transformation, your 90-day roadmap
AI for Growing Businesses
A hands-on workshop
A practical workshop built for founders and business owners who want to harness AI without enterprise budgets or dedicated tech teams. You have heard the promises. You have seen competitors talking about AI. But between running your business and the overwhelming noise, finding the time and clarity to actually implement AI feels impossible. This is not theoretical. You will build automations, choose your tools, and leave with AI actually working in your business. Not someday. Today.
You will leave able to:
- Identify your top automation opportunities - the tasks eating your time that AI should handle
- Use AI tools independently for content, analysis, and operations
- Build workflows that run without constant supervision
- Choose the right AI stack without subscription overload
- Protect your business data and avoid common AI mistakes
Who this is for
Founders, owner-managers, and business leaders who know AI could help but do not know where to start. If you are running a business without a dedicated tech team and want practical results, not theory, this is for you.
The programme
Morning: Understand and Identify
AI demystified, your opportunity audit, finding your "Big 5" automation wins
Afternoon: Build and Implement
Hands-on AI tools, building workflows, your AI stack
AI Coding Tools for Leaders
Evaluate, implement, and govern AI development tools
Your developers are asking about Copilot. Your CTO is talking about Cursor. Everyone has opinions about Claude and ChatGPT for coding. But which tools actually deliver value? Which create security risks? And how do you implement them without your codebase becoming a liability? This programme gives leaders the knowledge to make informed decisions about AI coding tools - not the technical skills to use them, but the strategic understanding to evaluate, govern, and implement them effectively across your organisation.
You will leave able to:
- Evaluate AI coding tools objectively: Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code, and others
- Understand which tools suit which tasks, and where they fall short
- Identify security, IP, and code quality risks before they become problems
- Build a governance framework for AI tool usage in your engineering team
- Have informed conversations with your technical team about adoption
- Create an implementation strategy that balances productivity with risk
Who this is for
CEOs, founders, and non-technical leaders who need to make decisions about AI coding tools without deep technical expertise. Also valuable for CTOs and engineering managers who want a structured approach to evaluating and rolling out these tools.
The programme
Half-day option (4 hours)
Tool landscape, evaluation framework, security and governance essentials, implementation roadmap
Full-day option
Everything above plus hands-on tool comparisons, detailed policy development, team rollout planning, and measuring ROI
Who Is Leading These Programmes
Delivered by an experienced CTO who has built and scaled AI strategies across dozens of growing businesses. Not theory from the lecture hall, but lessons from the trenches. I work with startups and scaleups daily on exactly these challenges, and bring that practical, current perspective to every session.
