Your people, using AI on the real job.
Your team comes out using AI on the work they actually do, automating the busywork that used to eat the day. The change holds after we leave, built on your own workflows, not a generic course.
Sounds like you if your team has the tools and the work hasn't changed.
- Tailored to your team
- Coached on work that matters
- Capability that sticks
You don't need another workshop. You need the change to hold.
The energy from a good session is real. Keeping it once the week gets busy is the hard part, and it is the part we are built for.
After a workshop
A month on with RIVER
The room is energised, then drifts back in a fortnight
A new way of working that's still there next month
Generic exercises no one uses again
Built on your team's real work, used that week
You hope it worked
Capability measured start and end, so you can show the lift
The prompts leave with the trainer
The prompts, agents and workflows stay yours
Your team works differently. The same week, and it holds.
What your team builds, stays yours to run.
- Sessions run on your team's real workflows, so nobody leaves with homework they won't do
- Delivered on RIVER+, our coaching platform, so what they build is captured as they build it
- A governance and safe-use framework, written for your organisation
- Built for a team of roughly 5 to 15 people, on one site
Coaching runs as a one-off session or programme when you've got a clear need, or ongoing on the Retainer when you want the capability to keep building after we leave. Either way you're engaging the coaching itself. There's nothing else you have to buy first.
From a session, to a measured programme.

From $7,500
Your leadership team, on your strategic challenges, ending in a decision.
The questions people ask when they’re ready to move.
No. It's built entirely on your own workflows, not a generic syllabus.
- Day one runs on tasks your team picks that morning, not a fixed syllabus.
- A generic "intro to AI" isn't what this is for. If that's all you need, start with the AI Readiness Check instead.
We measure it, rather than asking how the day felt.
- Capability is measured at the start and again at the end, against the same tasks.
- You get the shift as something you can show, not a satisfaction score.
- The guarantee: if measured capability doesn't shift, the next cohort is free.
The capability stays, because it was built on your own work and kept on your own workspace.
- The prompts, agents and workflows your team built stay with you on RIVER+.
- You keep a working AI workspace, not a set of slides.
- Stay on the Retainer if you want us to keep it growing, or take what you've built and run.
No. Coaching stands on its own.
- Run it as a one-off session or programme, or ongoing on the Retainer.
- Nothing needs to be built first. This is often the fastest, cheapest way to start with RIVER.
- It works whether or not you ever build a platform with us.
Every price is published, and it scales to how far you go.
- The AI Foundations Workshop, a 90-minute session for up to 15 people.
- AI Team Coaching, three tailored sessions with capability measured start and end.
- AI for Executives, a half day with your leadership team.

Easy to start. Fast to prove. Built to scale.

Five frontier models in three days. The only thing that survives is your eval set
Anthropic, Google, Meta, Alibaba and OpenAI all shipped a frontier model in the first three days of September. The teams that switched in a day had one thing in common: 30 to 50 real examples from their own work, scored the same way every time. How to build yours this afternoon.
PerspectiveHighlight
Your AI vendor's pricing has a balance sheet under it
The five biggest US cloud companies are spending close to US$700 billion this year, most of it on AI, and the gap between that and what they earn is borrowed. Prices and terms can move for reasons that have nothing to do with you. Four questions to put to every AI vendor at renewal.
TakeHighlight
Developers felt faster. They were slower
A controlled trial found experienced developers were 19% slower with AI while believing it sped them up. A year later the same developers were faster. The gain was never in adoption. It was in aiming AI at the right work.
Teams like yours, in their own words.
A decade of work, across health, sport, finance and the public good.
