AI Champions Programme

The AI Champions Programme

Adoption that lasts after we've gone. Sustainable adoption rarely comes from external consultants alone. The organisations getting the most from AI are growing their own champions -people inside the business who help colleagues use AI confidently, responsibly, and consistently.

The AI Champions Programme develops 3-5 people in your organisation into exactly that. It builds on team training by putting capability where it needs to live: in the building, with your own people, long after the training is done.

Why?

Why Champions matter

Most AI training creates a spike of enthusiasm that fades within weeks. People return to old habits, the confident few pull ahead, and adoption stalls. Champions are what close that gap. They keep momentum alive between sessions, support the colleagues who are quietly stuck, and give leadership a feel for what's really happening on the ground.

Being good at AI isn't the same as being able to help others adopt it. Coaching a nervous colleague through their first prompt, running a short session, judging when something shouldn't go into an AI tool - these are different skills. This programme develops them.

What AI Champions do

  • Support colleagues day to day, without everything escalating to leadership

  • Share best practice across teams

  • Encourage sensible experimentation

  • Promote responsible, safe use

  • Help maintain momentum after the initial push

  • Surface real use cases from the work and feed them upward

  • Drive adoption in partnership with leadership

How does this work?

How the Champions Programme works

Four small-group sessions over six to eight weeks, with practical work between each. The spacing is deliberate - champions go and try helping a colleague, then come back to troubleshoot what happened. That gap between sessions is where the real learning lands.

The Champion's role

What the role is, what good adoption looks like, and deeper work on their own AI capability so they're credible with colleagues.

01

Helping others

Coaching and facilitation skills — how to support an anxious colleague, run a short session, and answer common questions without needing all the answers.

02

Responsible use and judgement

Governance in practical terms: what's safe, what isn't, how to make a call, and when to escalate. This is what lets leadership hand champions real influence.

03

Momentum and use cases

How to keep adoption alive, spot new use cases from the floor, and feed them back to leadership.

04

A light-touch follow-up keeps things on track after the sessions end, so the programme doesn't just stop.

Outcomes

What you get

The programme develops your people and leaves capability behind. Champions gain the skills to support others and use AI well themselves; the organisation gains a small group of named people who keep adoption moving long after the training ends.

What Participants Receive

Advanced, hands-on AI training

Coaching and mentoring in how to support others

Practical governance guidance

Facilitation skills for running their own sessions

Frameworks and tools they can use straight away

What your organisation gets

After the programme, you have 3-5 named people who can:

Support colleagues without leaning on external help

Run their own short sessions and share practice across teams

Make sensible calls on responsible use, and know when to flag something

Keep surfacing real use cases and feed them upward

Sustain adoption after the external consultant has gone

The capability stays in the building. That's the point.

Suitability

Is it right for you?

The Champions Programme isn't the right starting point for everyone, and it's better to be honest about that up front. Here's when it pays back, and when something else should come first.

This programme pays back when:

Your team has done some AI training and you want the momentum to last

You have people who are naturally enthusiastic and want to give them a real role

Adoption is sitting with a few enthusiasts and you want it to spread evenly

It's probably not the place to start if:

Your team hasn't had any structured AI training yet - a team programme comes first

You're looking for a technical build rather than people capability

You can't free up 3-5 people for a few hours across six to eight weeks.

Pricing

What does this cost?

The AI Champions Programme starts at £4,950, whether taken as an add-on to a team programme or as standalone work. That covers all four sessions, the practical support between them, and the light-touch follow-up. The exact shape is something to talk through in a Discovery Session - where we can also work out whether Champions is the right next step for your business, or whether something should come first.
