Do not get left behind
AI is here to stay. The question is whether your team starts now or catches up later.
AI is still taking shape, and it is not going away. Every month you wait is a month your competitors, your peer agencies, and the person down the hall spend getting better at it. Starting now means your team builds the habit while the ground is still moving, instead of scrambling to catch up once everyone else has a head start.
The payoff is simple. You finish more work in less time, the quality holds up, and the goals you are already measured on get easier to hit. AI does not replace what you know. It adds to it. Every session is built around the work you do now: the writing, the analysis, the documentation, and the decisions. You leave with a method you can use that same afternoon.
Who this is for
Built for the way real organizations actually work.
Corporations and mid-size employers. Small businesses and family-owned companies. School districts, cities, counties, courts, special districts, and water agencies. Nonprofits and the associations that serve them. Training companies looking for a subcontracted instructor.
If your team is fielding questions about AI in hiring, in investigations, in budget work, or in engineering documentation, and the answer so far has been “wait,” this is the session that replaces waiting with a process. Everything is taught against your own documents, your own policies, and your own risk tolerance, not a vendor’s demo data.
Twenty years of this work happened where the stakes were highest: civil service rules, union contracts, public records law, and a commission that could overturn any decision it did not like. Training built to that standard transfers without effort to a company with a board, an auditor, and a legal team. The same programs have been delivered to private employers, including a multi-location, family-owned restaurant group, where the work covered AI for daily operations, a manager training program, and the accountability system that keeps a one-day session from fading by the following month.
2026 training catalog
Fifteen programs in four tracks. Half-day or full-day, virtual or on site.
Direct pricing is published so a coordinator can start a requisition without a sales call. Training companies and associations: ask for instructor rates.
HR and Personnel
Six sessions built around the functions an HR department runs every week, in any sector. Each one is taught by someone who has done the job.
Department Focus
The same practical approach, applied to the work of a specific department. Useful when HR is asked to bring AI to the rest of the organization.
Specialized Topics
For leadership teams, counsel, and anyone who has to write the AI policy rather than just follow it.

How an engagement works
From first email to a room full of trained staff, in four steps.
A short scoping call
Twenty minutes on your audience, the AI tools your organization has approved, and the risks your counsel cares about.
Program and quote
Pick from the catalog or combine modules. Within two business days you receive a PDF quote on letterhead, formatted for your purchasing process, requisition or purchase order if that is how you buy.
Vendor setup
W-9, business information, and any vendor forms are returned promptly. Materials, roster instructions, and a paste-ready bio and headshot for your flyer arrive one week ahead.
Delivery, and what your team keeps
Half-day or full-day, on Zoom, Microsoft Teams, or in your training room. Everyone leaves with the CHATPROMPT framework, a prompt library for their function, and written guidance they can hand to a supervisor.
AI consulting
Consulting, for organizations already putting AI to work.
Training teaches the people. Consulting is everything around it: deciding what AI is allowed to touch, writing the policy your staff will actually follow, choosing which workflows to change first, and building the accountability that keeps a one-day session from fading by the following month.
AI use policy
A written policy your legal counsel, your executive team and, where it applies, your union can all live with. Covers confidentiality, disclosure, record keeping and the lines nobody should cross.
Workflow review
A pass through the work your department actually does, naming which tasks AI should automate, which it should only assist, and which it should not touch at all.
Train the trainer
Your own people learn to run the sessions, so the capability stays in the building after the engagement ends.
Sustainment
The system that keeps new habits alive after the training day. A multi-location employer hired for exactly this, alongside a manager training program and the handbook behind it.
Easy to buy
Buying this is not the hard part.
Purchase orders welcome
Public agencies invoice against a PO. Companies and nonprofits get a quote, a W-9, and whatever your standard vendor packet requires.
A quote in two business days
On letterhead, formatted for your purchasing process, ready to attach to a requisition if that is how you buy.
Your confidential data stays out of it
Exercises use fictional scenarios and sanitized samples. Nobody is asked to put personnel records into a public AI tool, and the session covers exactly that boundary.
Step one takes twenty minutes. Ask for a scoping call.
