AI workshops

Team literacy and deployment labs

I work with small and mid sized teams in the public and private sector to make AI feel concrete and useful. We match tools to real workflows and leave you with simple playbooks you can keep using. Sessions are informal, full of Q&A, and shaped around what your group actually does.

Formats range from NGO strategy sprints and governance dialogues to GenAI creativity labs for students and productivity clinics for NDA bound companies. The goal is higher confidence, sharper prompts, and teams who keep using AI after the workshop ends.
