AI Kickstart & Kickstart Plus

Fixed-fee AI programmes for small businesses that need to understand their current AI use, reduce risk, build internal capability and move forward with greater structure.

AI Kickstart covers the foundations. Kickstart Plus adds governance, strategic direction and priority use cases.

HOW WE HELP

Build the Foundations for Responsible AI

THE CHALLENGE

AI is already being used across many organisations, often without consistent training, clear policies or visibility of the risks involved. This leaves leadership without a clear picture of how AI is being used, where data may be exposed, or what action is needed to support EU AI Act compliance.

OUR SOLUTION

AI Kickstart provides the core foundations through AI literacy training, a shadow AI audit, risk reporting and an in-person board session. Kickstart Plus goes further, adding an AI Governance Policy, board-ready roadmap and three priority use cases to give you a governed plan for what comes next.
