The hardest part of AI for most teams isn't the technology — it's getting started without feeling daft. This half-day is the gentle, hands-on way in. By the end, the people who were wariest are the ones reaching for it.
No jargon, no assumptions. We begin with where people actually are — the quiet worries, the bad first experiences, the sense that everyone else has figured this out. Naming it takes the pressure off and lets people relax into learning.
Then we get practical with the everyday stuff: drafting the awkward email, getting on top of a full inbox, summarising the long document, turning rough notes into something usable, thinking a problem through with a capable second brain. Each person tries it on their own real work, with help on hand.
We finish by sending everyone off with a small, personal set of "starts" — the handful of things they're now confident doing — so the momentum carries into next week instead of stalling.
The session is led by Rose Tighe — fifteen years in product and innovation at Amazon, Sky and Trustpilot, and co-founder of the 2,000-strong Brighton AI network — so however nervous the room, they're in genuinely experienced, patient hands.
Teams that haven't really started with AI, or tried once and bounced off it. Perfect as a first step before anything more ambitious — and a natural lead-in to the away day.
Tell us a little about your team and where they're starting from, and we'll come back within a day or two.
Once a team has its confidence, the away day takes them from using AI to finding real opportunities in their own work.
