The Three S's
The three questions that decide whether AI training actually works.
The order is the argument.
Most AI training fails for a reason that has nothing to do with the technology. Either people never got fluent enough to use it on real work, or they got fluent and nobody told them what was safe to put in, or both happened and it still died the week after because it was never anchored to anything they actually do.
Three questions decide the outcome, and they have to be answered in order. You cannot secure the use of a tool people can't use yet. And neither skill nor safety sticks on its own until the thing is wired into the work someone does on a normal Tuesday.
Skills, then Security, then Setup. Four hours, in that sequence.
What each block does.
Skills
Can they use it?
80 minutes
Getting everyone using it: prompting that works, iterating instead of accepting the first answer, and a Project loaded with real business context so the answers stop being generic.
They leave with: A Project set up around your own business, and a prompting one-pager to keep.
Security
Do they know what's safe?
55 minutes
Knowing what's safe to put in: what you can share with an AI tool and what you never should, where your data actually goes, and the handful of rules that keep the business out of trouble, in plain English, not legalese.
They leave with: A starter AI policy your team can follow from Monday morning.
Setup
Will it actually stick?
70 minutes
Making it stick after we leave: anchoring AI into the work people already do (the inbox, documents, spreadsheets), and building one real use case each on a task from their actual week.
They leave with: One working use case per person, and a list of the next opportunities worth taking.
Plus 15 minutes at the close to agree what happens next. Four hours in total, for up to eight people with one trainer.
What your team leaves holding.
Not a folder of notes. Five things that still exist the week after.
A Project set up around your business
AI loaded with your real context, so its answers are about your work rather than generic advice.
One working use case each
Everyone in the room picks a job from their actual week and finishes with it running.
A starter AI policy
Short and in plain English: what staff may put into AI tools, what they may not, and who decides.
A prompting one-pager
The patterns that reliably get good answers, on a single sheet you can use the next morning.
An opportunity list, started

Where it came from.
We didn't start as trainers. We built AI systems for UK businesses: contractor matching and a CRM rebuild for an 18-person retailer, a voice agent for a watch dealer, a chatbot handling real customers, wildlife reporting over WhatsApp in rural Kenya.
The same three failures turned up every time, in the same order. The Three S's is what we do about them, written for people who have never touched AI. The entry bar is being able to use a computer and a mouse.

Then £175 each, capped at £1,600. Priced as a team session, never per seat.
