AI has created more questions than answers.
For many organisations, it came out of nowhere and they are now playing catch up.
Some staff are forging ahead, accidentally creating risk. Others are nervous to engage.
Circular conversations and conflicting advice is stalling genuine org-wide exploration.
Managers are stuck between valid concerns and potential free-for-alls.
Meanwhile senior leaders are scrambling to offer a clear and coherent strategy for their staff - whilst sometimes unsure of what the tech truly means for them.
That’s where I come in. I've guided charities, international NGOs and social businesses, replacing confusion with clarity through practical guidance, workshops and structured training.
Take a look at the different formats to decide what's best for you, and if you'd prefer I can discuss what you might need in an initial call.
Foundational Training – raise knowledge to a consistent baseline so no one is left behind.
Workshops – guided experimentation using proven innovation frameworks.
Consultancy – leader support to shape an objective, coherent strategy (adopt where it adds value; avoid where it doesn’t).
Some of the organisations I've trained
"The sessions were excellent. You have created a common understanding and added real value, for beginners and more expert users alike. I believe the sessions have really advanced us in this space."

Why it matters
Most teams carry a mix of myths, hype and worry. Getting everyone to the same baseline unlocks better conversations and safer experimentation.
Format
Module 1: Risks, Limitations and Opportunities — 90 minutes, live, remote.
Module 2: Better Prompting and Actionable Use Cases — 90 minutes, live, remote.
Outcomes
Shared vocabulary and understanding (no one left behind).
Confidence to engage with AI thoughtfully.
A realistic view of benefits and boundaries.
I’ve worked with teams across five continents - from small regional charities to an international NGO with staff in 16 countries. The context changes, but the principles stay the same: clarity, confidence and objectivity.
Workshops
Casual experimentation is counter-intuitively unhelpful. It creates an environment where gut instinct is the only metric.
Structure and metrics are key. These workshops teach teams how to experiment well using tried-and-tested innovation frameworks.
Format
3 × 90-minute sessions over three consecutive weeks
2 weeks of follow-up experimentation with light-touch support
What we do
Define clear problems worth solving
Design simple prototypes to test key assumptions
Measure outcomes (accuracy, speed, time saved)
Decide: scale, improve, or shelve
Recent example
I led the five operations teams of an international NGO through this process, producing a library of five projects for the whole organisation to learn from.
Consultancy
Leaders are juggling disruption, delivery and decision-making. I provide clarity and focus so AI strategy serves your mission
(not the other way round).
What this looks like
Understand your current context
Define principles and guardrails
Set a coherent direction through guidelines
Create a simple plan with clear ownership
Objective, balanced and free of AI 'evangelism'.
