AI training for People teams

Your team could get more done. Most of them have never been shown how.

Taught by a peer, not an engineer. The examples are job adverts and exit interviews rather than software demos, and nobody writes a line of code.

This is not training people to produce impressive AI answers. It is training them to decide where AI belongs, test whether it works, and know what should stay human.

What gets taught

Three workshops: asking, choosing, building

One on its own, or all three as a programme. In person or online.

Foundations

For everyone, in an hour. How to ask for something and get work back instead of a search result. Most people are one structure away from this.


Deployment

For whoever carries the work. Handing AI bounded pieces of work that come back ready for a person to check, and knowing what always stays human.


Applied AI Champion Programme

Two days plus applied work, for the small group who will carry this. Rehearse where failure is safe, then a real problem taken to a recommendation you can read. How the programme works

How it fits together

Three parts. Start with any one.

People Team AI trains the people. The PROVEN Framework™ installs the method. TransformLayer runs the programme.

  1. You are here

    People Team AI

    Build the capability

    Practical AI training for People teams, up to an Applied AI Champion Programme that ends in evidence rather than attendance.

  2. PROVEN Framework™

    Install the method

    Consulting that sets up how your company finds, filters, pilots and measures AI ideas, ending in scale, change or stop.

    Explore the PROVEN Framework™
  3. TransformLayer

    Run the programme

    AI use case management software. One place for ideas, approvals, pilots and what each one returned.

What each part covers
1 Learn People use AI well in their own work.
2 Scope Champions turn ideas into cases, with a baseline.
3 Decide Reviewers approve, change or stop each one.
4 Measure Results recorded against the baseline.
People Team AI training and AI Champions Covers Learn and Scope
PROVEN Framework™ the method, set up with you Covers Scope, Decide and Measure
TransformLayer the software that runs it Covers Scope, Decide and Measure

Use one, or all three. Training works on its own. TransformLayer is bought on its own. The PROVEN Framework™ is there when you want help setting the whole programme up properly.

What it actually says

A finding about time, not about jobs

Every one of the 201 tasks in the nine People roles was rated for one question: could AI halve the time this takes, at the same quality. That is a finding about time, and the band rated out of reach is not a promise of safety.

Which leaves a practical question: which of your team's tasks are which, and who decides?

Free tool

Find out where your team is actually stuck

Three minutes each, anonymous. You get back what is stopping them, ranked, in their own words.

Most teams are not stuck for the reason their manager thinks. A workshop opens from the answers, so the hour goes on what is actually stopping your people.

What makes this different

Four things, and the last one is the awkward one

Built for People work. Twenty-five years in and around People teams. The examples are hiring, onboarding and policy, not software demos.

Built on evidence. Published research, named sources, and a method written down before anything was scored.

Capability, not attendance. People test their own work, try to break each other's, fix what fails and show it working.

AI is allowed to be the wrong answer. A well-evidenced decision not to build something is a good outcome, and it is taught as one.

The receipts

Published, and checkable

Numbers checked against what was measured, under a method published before anything was scored. None of it behind a form.

If you are weighing this up

Run the survey first. If a workshop is the wrong answer for what comes back, you will be told that.
