Working together

What he takes on, how it starts, and what he needs from you.

Most engagements are training for a team or advisory work alongside it. The programme is built around the work your people already do, because a course built on generic examples is the one nobody applies afterwards.

What he takes on
  • Companies, foundations, public bodiesTraining a teamA programme built around the work your team already does, so what people practise on is their own. Anything from a single day to a cohort running over several weeks.
  • Boards and leadership teamsAn executive briefingA short session for the people who decide. What AI changes for the organisation, what it does not, and which decisions need making this year.
  • Organisations partway inAdvisory workHelp shaping an adoption plan, governance that people will actually follow, or a roadmap that survives the champion going on leave.
  • NGOs and impact teamsStrategy and pitching for impact organisationsStrategic planning, theory of change, and pitching to funders. Run for six African water organisations through EcoCiv, and for Saudi founders through Ashoka.
  • Learning and development teamsTraining your trainersSo the capability stays in the building after he leaves. This is usually the cheapest thing an organisation does and the one that lasts longest.

No prices are published. What a programme costs depends on its length and shape, and he would rather quote for the thing you actually need.

How it starts

Four steps, and the first one is twenty minutes.

  1. 01A conversationTwenty minutes on who the group is and what is actually slowing them down. No preparation needed on your side.
  2. 02A look at the real workHe looks at what your team does day to day, because a programme built on generic examples is the one nobody applies afterwards.
  3. 03An outline you can circulateWhat the sessions cover, what people will be able to do at the end, and how long it takes. Something you can put in front of a budget holder.
  4. 04DatesUsually a few weeks out for in-person work in the Gulf, sooner for online.
Which door

Directly, or through one of the companies.

Come to him directly for training, advisory work, speaking, teaching and press. That is what the note at the bottom of this page is for.

Industry and engineering work — water treatment, supply chain, manufacturing — is better through Mohandes AI, where the products and the technical team sit.

Organisation-wide adoption programmes go through Impact Anchor.

Get in touch

Tell him about the room.

Four answers are enough for him to reply with something useful rather than a request for more information.

Email is the fastest route. Tell him who would be in the room, roughly how many, what they do, and roughly when. Four lines is enough for a useful reply.
