AI Workshops & Consulting Services
After working with 400+ New Zealand organisations since 2023 - across banking, government, education, and professional services - we've identified the patterns that separate successful AI adoption from stalled projects.
Most organisations sit between Rungs 2 and 3: past initial curiosity, but not yet automating workflows. This framework reflects what actually works, based on hundreds of implementations. Auckland-based, delivering nationwide.
AI Workshops for Business Leaders
Before your team can use AI effectively, everyone needs to be on the same page. What can AI actually do? What's hype? Where should we start? Our alignment workshops teach practical AI implementation and Answer Engine Optimisation (AEO) - how to position your business so AI assistants recommend you when customers ask for solutions.
How We Help:
- AI for Business Leaders - Strategy, risks, and practical implementation roadmaps
- Executive AI briefings - What leadership needs to know before investing
- AI opportunity mapping - Identify where AI fits your specific business
- Team alignment sessions - Build shared understanding across departments
