Training · Executives & ExCo

Decide on AI having actually used it.

Two things, in the same session. First, tailored coaching: each executive works on their own tools and their own files, at their own level. Then an open strategic discussion on integration into the teams and the organisation: who to equip, how to bring the subject to managers, what to govern, and what it shifts in roles and skills.

Formats

Three formats, balancing hands-on coaching and strategic discussion.

In all three, every participant handles the tools themselves — the condition for the strategic discussion that follows to rest on something other than slides. The balance between coaching and discussion is set to suit your board.

Session · 2 hrs

See clearly

A demonstration on your own cases, followed by a no-filter discussion: what these tools change for your sector, what is real and what is marketing.

Practise and decide

The recommended format. Each board member works on a case from their own function, then the board aligns on the governance questions.

Hands-on in the morning, prioritisation in the afternoon: use cases ranked by value and feasibility, first investment decisions, a timeline.

Programme

From individual coaching to collective decision.

The outline below is the half-day seminar. It adjusts to your sector, your maturity and the real level of each board member, identified during scoping.

01

Tailored coaching, each on their own remit

Individual support, not a group demo: everyone moves on their own tools, at their own pace and level. An executive who has analysed a contract or prepared a board meeting themselves no longer asks the same questions afterwards.

  • Each participant works on a real document from their function, prepared beforehand, and gets live feedback on how they go about it
  • Finance : reading a report · RH : analysing an agreement · Sales : preparing a major meeting · Legal : clause review
  • What the tool got right, what it missed, and why: the mechanics explained without jargon
02

Reading the landscape rather than enduring it

The market's vocabulary has become an obstacle. This sequence resets it so the board is talking about the same thing.

  • Assistants, agents, agentic : what these words actually cover, with live demonstrations
  • What is mature, what is promising, and what is sales talk
  • What companies comparable to yours actually do, without the conference exaggerations
  • The cost of doing nothing and the cost of doing it badly: both can be quantified
03

Measuring what is at stake for your organisation

The question is not only “what does the tool do” but “what does it shift here”. This sequence translates the technology into concrete consequences for your business.

  • Exposed roles : where the value of the work moves, and where it doesn't
  • Skills : what to build internally, what to buy, what becomes secondary
  • Competitive position : the advantage to take, the one to defend, and the pace your sector sets
  • Risks : confidentiality, vendor lock-in, output quality, compliance
  • Effect on the teams : what is already being said internally, and what a board must own publicly
04

Deciding how it lands in the teams

The strategic discussion itself: how the subject enters the organisation, and what the board must own. Questions only it can settle — and which block everything while they stay open.

  • Data : what can be submitted to the tools, what cannot, and who decides
  • Licensing : which licences for whom — full coverage is rarely the right starting point
  • Guardrails : usage charter, sign-off on output, and what to do about the unofficial usage already in place
  • Role of managers : how the subject is carried one level down, what is expected of them and what is not
  • Message to the teams : what the board says — and does not say — about expected gains and about jobs
  • Ownership : who carries the subject internally, with what mandate and what resources
05

Leaving with a direction

This seminar ends on dated decisions and a chosen first scope.

  • Three to five prioritised use cases, ranked by expected value and ease of implementation
  • The first population to equip and train, named
  • The decisions taken in the room, recorded, each with an owner
  • What stays open, and the timeline to settle it

Use cases

What these seminars produce.

Examples of outcomes observed at the end of a seminar. Yours will depend on your sector and your starting point.

Mid-cap · Manufacturing

A first population named

The board was torn between equipping everyone and waiting. It leaves with a forty-person pilot, a budget and a review date.

Outcome · A proportionate investment decision, taken in the room
Group · Retail

A position on data

Each function had its own unofficial doctrine. The board rules on what can be submitted to the tools, by document category, and makes it known.

Outcome · A clear rule that unblocks the legitimate use cases
SME · Services

Shadow usage brought into the open

Half the teams were already using consumer tools with no framework. The board chooses to equip rather than ban, with a short charter.

Outcome · A real risk replaced by a governed practice
Investment · Tool selection

A tool choice owned

The board picks between platforms rather than stacking them: what each one really covers, what it costs at scale, what it commits on data and integration.

Outcome · An investment made with eyes open, and no licences paid for twice
HR · Upskilling

A managed rollout

Training stops being an event: successive populations, internal champions, measurement milestones and real-usage criteria set by the board.

Outcome · Upskilling tracked on indicators, not impressions
ExCo · All sectors

A shared vocabulary

Before: everyone reading at a different level, debates going nowhere. After: the same words for the same things, and decisions that can actually be made.

Outcome · Following board meetings where the subject moves forward instead of coming back
“In two seminars, Jonathan showed us the concrete potential of AI for our business. A clear, well-taught approach built on practical cases: directly applicable day to day.”
