AI readiness

Start with the work. Make informed choices about AI.

Build shared judgement about where AI may help, what needs checking and how people should remain accountable.

Scope follows the team’s familiarity, policies and work.

Who it is for
Shaped around practice and feedback

Leaders and teams who need a shared basis for discussing AI in their work.

When this helps

Is this your
situation?

Some people are experimenting; others are unsure where to begin. Focus on useful tasks, clear boundaries and the judgement needed to use outputs responsibly.

  • Tool enthusiasm runs ahead of a clear need.
  • People use different assumptions about acceptable use.
  • No one has agreed how outputs will be checked.
What changes

Practical progress you can use in the work.

Leave with more
than a good conversation.

01

Spot a useful opportunity

Connect a possible use to a real task and user need.

02

Ask better questions

Identify data, quality and human-review considerations before trying a tool.

03

Plan a responsible next step

Name the owner, boundaries and evidence a limited test would need.

Inside the workshop

A clear shape.
Room for your reality.

Suggested workshop outline. We shape the sequence and depth around your team.

Our approach to building capability
01

Begin with the task

What we do

Map a familiar piece of work. Identify the outcome, the people affected and where the current difficulty actually sits.

What this produces

A task map and a potential use case.

02

Examine the judgement required

What we do

Work through an illustrative output. Discuss what can be checked, what may be missing and when a person must make the call.

What this produces

A set of human-review questions.

03

Set the boundaries

What we do

Use the organisation’s existing policies to explore data handling, approved tools and escalation. Record questions that need specialist review.

What this produces

A boundary and responsibility checklist.

04

Design the next test

What we do

Describe a limited experiment using an approved environment. Agree the owner, evaluation criteria and circumstances for stopping or changing it.

What this produces

A readiness brief for the next conversation.

What you keep

Useful in the room.
Useful on Monday.

  • A task-led opportunity map
  • A human-review and boundary checklist
  • A readiness brief with open questions
Before we begin

A little preparation.
A more useful session.

  1. Share current AI and data-use policies.
  2. Bring examples of work, using non-sensitive material.
  3. Identify who owns technical and policy decisions.
After the workshop

Keep it moving.

Review the readiness brief with internal owners. Revisit the learning before extending a use case or changing working practices.

Try a different way of thinking

A useful draft still needs judgement

A team considers using an approved AI tool to prepare an internal summary from non-sensitive material.

Illustrative example
Step 1 of 3

Define

Describe who will use the summary and what they need from it. Check that the material and tool meet the organisation’s policies.

01 / 03
  1. Define

    Describe who will use the summary and what they need from it. Check that the material and tool meet the organisation’s policies.

  2. Review

    Compare the output with its source. Look for unsupported statements, omissions and wording that changes the meaning.

  3. Own

    Name the person accountable for the final summary and agree when the task needs further review.

The useful shift

Readiness includes knowing what to check, where the boundaries sit and who remains responsible.

A good fit when

Teams seeking shared understanding and better organisational judgement about AI.

Another approach may fit better

Technical implementation, legal assurance or approval to use a particular tool.

Explore the ways we can help
Before you choose

A few useful answers.

Will we learn a particular AI product?

The starting point is judgement and the work. Any tool-specific practice must be agreed and use the organisation’s approved environment.

Do we need an AI strategy already?

No. We work from your current position, while keeping policy decisions and technical questions with the people responsible for them.
