Your team already uses AI.
Most of them were never shown how.

They’re using AI tools every day, often on personal accounts, without knowing what to trust or what not to paste in. The result: wasted time, shaky output and real data risk.

30% of Irish employees say they source their own AI tools, outside what their employer provides.

The tools are easy to buy. Using them well is a skill. Skills can be taught.

02

Hands-on workshop.

A hands-on workshop built around your team's real tasks and approved tools. Everyone leaves having done the work, not just watched it.

Why the people side matters

Businesses are spending heavily on AI tools, but many aren’t matching it with the right training.

KPMG surveyed over 2,000 business leaders in 2026. Companies that invested in their people were nearly four times more likely to see real value from AI.

Same tools.
Very different results.

Nearly 4x more likely to report meaningful business value from AI. KPMG Global AI Pulse research.
