Find exactly where AI will pay off in your business

A free, hands-on working session for five Jersey businesses. You bring your processes, we bring the frameworks, and you leave with a costed shortlist of the AI opportunities worth acting on.

Free to attend 4 places remaining

Why this session exists

Most businesses know AI could save them time. Very few can say where.

That is the gap this morning closes. It is not a talk and it is not a demo reel. Five businesses in one room, each working on their own processes, with two people who do this for a living guiding the work.

You will see what AI is genuinely capable of right now, shown through real projects running inside Jersey businesses. Then you will apply the same two frameworks we use with paying clients to your own operation, and put numbers against what you find.

What you leave with

Four things, on paper, by half twelve

A clear view of what AI can actually do

The three types of automation, each shown through a real project. No theory, no vendor slides.

A map of where your time is leaking

Every repetitive, irritating, predictable process across your team, captured using the RIPE framework.

A ranked shortlist

Those opportunities scored by time drain, risk, impact on growth and money, so the order is obvious.

Real ROI numbers

Annual savings and payback against your top two or three use cases. Typically we see payback within 7 months.

The morning

How the three hours run

09:30

Welcome and the room

Each business says what it does and where it suspects time is going missing.

09:45

What AI can actually do now

Traditional automation, AI automation and agentic AI, each anchored to a real build, with live demonstrations where they help.

10:20

Working block one, finding the candidates

You map your own processes against the RIPE framework.

11:05

Break

11:15

Working block two, putting a number on it

Rank the list using TRIM, then model savings and payback for your top opportunities.

12:00

Share back and pressure test

Each business presents its number one opportunity and the room pokes holes in it.

12:20

What happens next

How to take your shortlist back to your team and act on it.

Who should be in the room

Five businesses, one or two people each

Places are deliberately limited, because a working session only works when everyone gets attention. That is also why we confirm places rather than selling tickets.

This is built for you if

You are a Jersey business of roughly 25 to 100 people
You are the MD, a director, or an operations lead
Manual work is quietly costing you and you cannot yet point at where
You want a decision to come out of the morning, not a reading list

It is probably not for you if

You are looking for a general introduction to AI tools
You want to watch rather than work on your own business
Nobody in the room can make or influence a decision
You would rather have the recording than the morning

Register your interest

Tell us a little about your business.

There are no tickets. We read every registration and confirm places so the group stays small and every business in the room gets a useful morning. We will come back to you within two working days either way.

We will only use your details to run this workshop and to follow up on it. Nothing else.

Questions

Before you register

Why do I have to apply rather than just book?

Because this only works small. Five businesses, one or two people each, everyone working on their own numbers. We read every registration to make sure the session will be worth your morning and everyone else's.

It is free. What is the catch?

There isn't one. It is a working session, you keep everything you produce, and there is no presentation about our services at the end. If you want help building the top item on your shortlist, that is a conversation for another day.

What do I need to prepare?

It helps to think about what processes within your organisation or department might be likely candidates for automation. We'll fire you over an email the week before the workshop to walk you through how you might want to go about that work.

Can I send two people?

Yes, and it usually helps. One person who knows the strategy and one who knows how the work actually gets done is the ideal pairing. Tell us on the form.

What if I do not get a place?

We will tell you quickly and honestly, point you at the recording of the webinar that covers the same frameworks, and put you first in line for the next session.
