Ai framework and strategy to take home
Does any of this sound familiar?
AI is already on your agenda — the hard part is knowing what to do with it. For owners and senior managers in private businesses, these are the questions that come up again and again. AI for Private Business was built to answer them
- Where do we actually start with AI — and how do we know we're prioritising the right things?
- Our competitors seem to be moving faster on AI than us. How far behind are we really?
- How do we build a business case for AI investment when the ROI is hard to pin down?
- We've tried a few tools but nothing has stuck or made a measurable difference. What are we missing?
- How do we cut through the noise and work out what's genuinely useful for a business like ours?
- How do we get our team to actually adopt AI - not just experiment with it and move on?
I got far more out of the AI program than I expected. It completely changed my perspective, and I’m now keen to involve more of my team and continue implementing AI-driven change in our business.”
Craig | Private Business Owner
What You'll Walk Away With
Two days of practical, applied learning — built around real examples of how other owners have implemented AI in their businesses — so you leave with a framework and strategy you can act on immediately.
01
Cut Through the Hype
Understand what AI can realistically do for a business like yours right now — and what’s still hype, gimmick, or not worth your time.
02
Learn From Owners Who've Done It
Hear practical, real-world examples of how other private business owners have implemented AI — what worked, what didn’t, and what they’d do differently.
03
Find Your Highest-Impact Use Cases
Identify exactly where AI can save you time, cut costs, or create an advantage in your business — not generic use cases, yours.
04
Build Your Implementation Roadmap
Leave with a clear, practical framework for rolling AI out across your business — including the tools, sequencing, and capability you’ll need.
05
Avoid the Costly Mistakes
Learn the common pitfalls owners hit when adopting AI — from wasted spend to data and security risks — so you don’t have to learn them the hard way.
06
Leave With a 90-Day Action Plan
Walk out the door with a clear strategy and a concrete plan for the first 90 days of implementing AI in your business.

Frequently Asked Questions...
Can I bring along my senior leaders?
Yes. While the program is designed primarily for business owners, senior leaders who have a genuine seat at the decision-making table are welcome to attend. If they play a key role in shaping strategy and driving change within the business, they’ll gain significant value from the experience.
Do I need prior AI experience?
No. AI for Private Business is designed for business owners and their senior managers, not technical specialists. Whether you’re just starting to explore AI or have already experimented with a few tools, the program focuses on practical applications, real-world examples, and how AI can create value in your business.
The emphasis is on strategy and implementation, not coding or technical expertise.
Will there be opportunities to connect with other owners?
Yes. The program is delivered in a residential format, allowing participants to spend extended time together across both structured sessions and informal discussions. This creates strong opportunities to connect with other business owners, share experiences, and learn from peers facing similar challenges and opportunities.
