Workshops

AI for the real world

Our AI workshops are practical sessions for business owners and small teams who know AI is happening but are not sure where to start. No coding, no jargon and nothing to sell. A half day is £360 and a full day £720 plus VAT, for up to ten people, run by Richard Bland and David Perkins.

What we cover

Four parts

01

Understanding AI

What ChatGPT and its cousins actually do, how they learned it, what they get wrong and why, and what happens to the things you type. Once people understand the mechanism, they stop being intimidated and start asking better questions.

02

Using it in practice

How to ask properly, real uses for a small business, what the tools can do beyond chat, and a live demonstration of a business workflow handled from enquiry to follow-up.

03

Beyond the chat window

The wider landscape of tools, what changes when AI is connected to your business systems, and the security, ethics and trust questions every owner should be asking.

04

The big question

What this means for your business, with real examples from the field and an open discussion. No wrong answers and no judgement. You leave with prompts to try on the drive home.

Questions about workshops

Before you book

Business owners, solo founders and small teams who know AI is happening but are not sure where to start, or whether what they are already doing is enough. No coding and no technical background needed.

No. Bring your curiosity and your questions. If you want to try things during the practical parts, a phone or laptop helps, but it is not required.

No. We are not selling software. We share what works, what does not, and how to think about AI as a tool that serves the business rather than the other way round.

Yes. We run sessions for a single business, a team, or a group such as a chamber of commerce or networking group, in person in Northamptonshire or by arrangement further afield. Tell us who is coming and we will shape it around them.
