01Who is the SME programme for?+
For operational teams in small and mid-sized companies: sales, inside sales, administration, accounting, customer service, marketing and leadership. A mixed group from several departments works especially well, because the most worthwhile automations almost always sit at the handovers between departments.
02Do we need new software for this?+
Usually not. We start with what you have — Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, your CRM, your accounting, possibly an automation tool like Make or n8n. Only when a process genuinely doesn't work without an extra tool do we discuss adding one, including an honest estimate of cost and effort.
03Are we allowed to put customer data into AI tools?+
It depends on the tool, the contract and the type of data — and that is exactly what we settle in the workshop for your case. We go through which services offer business use without training on your data, where the servers are, when anonymisation is enough, and when a task shouldn't go into an external tool at all. The outcome is a rule that works day to day — not a legal opinion.
04What if there's scepticism in the team?+
That's normal and usually justified. So we never work with promises about the future, but with a task the person finds tedious themselves. If that one task gets measurably faster on the workshop day, the discussion moves on its own. We also talk openly about where AI is unsuitable — that builds more trust than any demo.
05How quickly do we see an effect?+
The automations built during the workshop run from day one. For simple cases like receipt capture or enquiry routing the relief is immediate; in sales and reporting it shows over a few weeks. That's why the 30-day review measures the same things as the start: frequency, duration and error rate per process.
