- Half day £3,500 + VAT per session. Full day £6,500 + VAT per day. The discovery call is free.
- Follow-up
- Two weeks of WhatsApp support after a half day. One follow-up session and 30 days of follow-up support after a full day.
- Where
- In person in London, across the UK and in the US. Virtual sessions also available.
What your leadership team actually does.
- Works on its own work. Investor reports, board packs, research, memos and inbox: the things that fill your week, not textbook examples.
- Picks the right tools for each role. Learns context engineering and prompt engineering, so the skills keep working as the tools change.
- Builds, rather than watches. Zero slides about the history of machine learning. You leave with a working AI toolkit built around your actual work.
- Gets on the same page, fast. The team works through the same tools together, so the wins don't stay stuck with individuals.
- Skips the setup. Ollie builds a custom Claude plugin for your team that sets up your folder structure, context files, skills and connectors automatically. It's built on what works from 100+ sessions. No one has to go through the pain barrier of setting it all up by hand.
Half day or full day.

The people who set the standard.
The people in the room are the ones who set how the company works. The founder, the MD, the managing partner, the COO. They don't send a deputy and read the notes later.
- Their own week. A board pack, an investor update, the decision sitting on the desk. Not a textbook example.
- They do it themselves. No one sits at the back watching a demo. No slides about the history of machine learning.
- One way of working. So it doesn't stay with the person who already had a ChatGPT tab open.

Three steps. No pitch.
- Discovery call, free. 30 minutes. Before the session we map the tasks that are repetitive, mundane or just eat up time in your week. We do it on the call, or with a short pre-session form sent to everyone attending, so the session is planned around your actual work rather than our assumptions. You get a custom proposal with a tailored session agenda. No pitch deck, no obligation.
- The session. Hands-on, on your own laptops. You build real AI tools using your own work. In person where possible.
- Follow-up. WhatsApp access for questions and troubleshooting as you put your new tools to work.
Real work, real results.
"Ollie ran a couple of hands-on, sharp, and immediately useful AI sessions with our partnerships and senior teams. The groups walked out with things they could actually apply the next day, and it's already changing how they work. I'd recommend Ollie to any team that wants AI to translate into real outcomes, fast."
"Ollie ran a training session with me, and I have to say it was one of the best I've had. It's genuinely changed the way I work day to day. There's how I worked before that session, and how I work after, the biggest shift I've ever made in such a short space of time."
