One-day workshop for AI champions

AI CHANGE CHAMPION ACCELERATOR

Build skills to drive and de-risk AI adoption

What You Gain

Training alone won't propel AI adoption. Build a peer network that will.

Are you leading AI adoption while your team fears the future, the tech evolves weekly, and ROI remains unclear?70-85% of AI initiatives fail to scale. Go beyond AI training and develop AI change management capabilities in your champions' network so yours won't.

  • A peer network that reduces resistance and increases the pace of adoption

  • Trusted champions who can facilitate responsible AI usage, reducing risk

  • Use cases designed to solve the problems your colleagues face

THE AI CHANGE CHALLENGE

Why 70-85% of AI Initiatives Fail to Scale (MIT & RAND).

AI initiatives falter because uncertain value, deep fears and the pace of AI change aren’t addressed through AI tools training.Successful AI adoption requires trusted peers who spot early resistance, design safe experiments to overcome their colleagues' problems, and share learning.

Is you change network ready for the AI reality you are facing?

→ 52% of workers fear AI in the workplace (Pew Research, 2025)

→ 41% fear losing their job to AI (BCG's AI at Work study, June 2025)Fear is fast becoming one of the biggest blockers to successful AI adoption, and generic training can't anticipate the specific challenges each team faces.

Fear

AI triggers identity-level anxiety: "Will I lose my job?"Traditional change models don't address deep emotional threats.

Pace

AI technology evolves in weeks, with over 40k AI tools available.Linear change models quickly become out of date.

Uncertainty

Most AI initiatives can't quantify value or ROI before investing.Leaders are spending blindly and are uncertain about AI's benefits.

TESTIMONIALS

With a deeply approachable, insightful and engaging course, Neil both rapidly and robustly increased my confidence in leading AI initiatives at my organisation....I'm feeling energised with these practical (and blue sky) insights into how to pull it off.Laura Pacey, Chief Commercial Officer, RICS


Neil is a fantastically knowledgeable host, facilitator and guide. The sessions really helped me to think more on the subject of AI related to change and transformation linked to systems thinking and design. I really enjoyed the interaction and conversations with the other delegates.Frank Dias, Founder Ai x Comms Lab


Neil's designed his workshops brilliantly. A small group of peers and leaders with the opportunity to speak, discuss, and explore important ideas. There's strength in that kind of community.In a reality where patterns and rules for AI change are far from set, this kind of exploration is essential as we each refine how we'll tackle supporting AI change. Very happy to have been part of this programme. And what a great one it is.John Matoso, Change Management Consultant, Owner SubTonique
