AI & Automation Essentials. Skills they own, not slides they forget.

A month-long program: two days onsite, two coaching calls. We train the 2โ€“3 people you choose to become your automation champions, building your first automations on your own accounts, from patterns every workplace has.

What you walk away with

By the end of the program:

Your automation champions

2โ€“3 of your people, trained hands-on across the month, who can run what's built, keep it running, and now see what can be optimised right across the business.

Automations live, toolkit kept

Working automations on your accounts, plus a pack of pre-built skills and templates (Claude, Codex, n8n) your team keeps for the builds ahead.

A plan, with numbers

Your value map: every repetitive task captured, scored and ordered. Time saved measured on the final call. The next wins already chosen.

How it works

Hands-on, from day one.

No slides, no theory-only sessions. We map it out on the whiteboard together, then your champions build the first automation live, on your own accounts.

How the program runs

Prepared before we arrive. Measured after we leave.

The philosophy is simple: capability comes from creation, not consumption. Skills they own, not slides they forget.

Before
The groundwork

It starts with a call. Then preparation: we review your software and systems, and hold a pre-call with each of your champions so day one starts at full speed. Logins ready, target jobs shortlisted, no time wasted.

Week 1
Day one onsite: the foundations, with real examples

Value-map your business (where the hours really go), score what's worth automating, and learn the fundamentals: when a job needs AI vs a simple automation, security, keeping a person in the loop. Then hands-on with practical examples every workplace has:

  • โ†’Inbox and email routing
  • โ†’Data moved between systems, two sources into one
  • โ†’Reports that build themselves
  • โ†’Approvals with a person in the loop

Your champions run them, break them, fix them.

Week 2
Coaching call, one hour

Champions practise all week, adding to the value map and noting every question and blocker. On the call we clear them together, so nobody stalls and week three starts at speed.

Week 3
Day two onsite: advanced options, and how they apply to your workplace

Your systems are connected; now we go up a level:

  • โ†’Multi-step automations that chain tasks together
  • โ†’Connections between your systems
  • โ†’Advanced patterns, shown working and mapped to where they'd fit in your business
  • โ†’The handover: how to maintain things, what to do if one stops

You'll build your first automation from what you've learned, because the examples are ones every workplace has.

Week 4
The final call, one hour

Coaching on whatever the month surfaced, the time saved so far, and what's next from the value map. If you want us alongside for the bigger builds, that's what Partner is for.

However the month runs, your team leaves with working automations on your accounts, the toolkit, the framework, and a prioritised plan.

What your champions learn

Skills that stay in the business.

How to build a value map, starting from hours spent
How to score and prioritise what's worth automating (ICE)
When a job needs AI, and when a simple automation wins
What's safe to connect, and how to think about security
How to keep a person approving anything that matters
Today's tools and how to choose, without chasing hype
Skills, MCPs and APIs, in plain English, hands-on
Bringing data from two systems into one place
How to spot the next automation, and the one after that
Who to nominate

Curious beats technical.

Your champions don't need an IT background. The best ones are the people who build good spreadsheets, ask "why do we do it this way?", or quietly became the person everyone asks for help. Two or three of them, freed up for two days, that's the whole requirement. They know your business; we bring everything else.

FAQ

Straight answers.

What exactly does $5,900 cover?

Everything: preparation, the champion pre-calls, both onsite days, the working examples, the coaching calls at weeks two and four, the toolkit of pre-built skills and templates, the builds and the handover doc. Plus GST, no ongoing commitment.

Can we start with just one day?

Yes. Champions Day is the first day on its own for $3,300 + GST: the value map, the training, the working examples and your first automation target chosen. Add the build day within 30 days for $2,900 if you want us back. Booking Essentials upfront is the better price.

How much of our team's time does it take?

Two full days onsite for your 2โ€“3 champions in weeks one and three, a one-hour coaching call in weeks two and four, and light practice in between. The owner joins the start and end of each onsite day.

What if the automation we want is complicated?

Day one's value map sorts that out: we deliberately start with low-risk, high-reward patterns your champions can genuinely own. The complicated ones go on the list. If you'd rather we just built those for you, that's what our done-for-you work is for.

Which tools do you use, and what will we need?

The right one for the job. We work mainly with Claude, Codex (ChatGPT) and n8n, and your champions learn how to choose between them, which matters more than any single tool. Everything is built on your own accounts, so you'll need a paid subscription to the tools we settle on together. We confirm exactly which ones, and what they cost, before day one so there are no surprises.
