We already ran AI training. Why would this be different?

Because most training is designed as an event, and behaviour change is not an event. Without structural support, only 10 to 15% of formal training reaches daily work, and people lose up to 70% of what they learned within 24 hours. So we build the opposite way round: 50% learning by doing, 40% social learning, 10% formal input, with the weeks between sessions doing as much work as the sessions themselves. Then we measure whether behaviour actually moved, before and after, and show you the numbers.

Who are these AI capability building programmes for?

Executives setting the direction, HR and L&D teams accountable for adoption rather than just delivery, and team leads who have to make it real in their own teams. Our participants are usually not technical, and do not need to be.

Do I need coding experience?

No. Not for any programme. The skill we build is judgement: knowing where AI helps, where it does not, and how to tell whether the output is any good. You cannot click your way to that, and you certainly cannot code your way to it.

What types of organisations do you work with?

Mostly Swiss organisations from around 100 to 30,000+ employees, with a concentration in regulated and operationally complex sectors: insurance, pharma, banking, aviation, food, logistics and the public sector. If your compliance team has opinions about AI, you are in the right place.

Are the programmes in person or remote?

Primarily on site, because social learning is 40% of the design and it does not travel well over video. Remote and hybrid cohorts are possible where geography demands it, and we will tell you honestly what the format costs you in transfer.

What will my team learn?

Not features. Judgement. Where AI genuinely helps in your actual workflows, where the human decision stays non negotiable, how to tell a good output from a plausible one, and how to work within your own governance rules rather than around them. Everyone leaves having built something real from their own work.

How are your programmes different from other corporate AI courses?

Three things. We designed the programme from research with 25 Swiss organisations rather than from a curriculum template. We measure behaviour before and after, not attendance. And the people in the room have run transformations at Migros, Accenture, Julius Bär and Roche, so nothing about your constraints will be new to them.

Which programme is right for us?

If your leadership needs to set direction, start with Executive AI Ignition. If your team's skills are visibly uneven, start with Spark AI Curiosity. If they have done a general training and asked but what about our work, go to Department-specific Applied AI. If you are accountable for adoption across the organisation, you want Embed AI. The 2-minute self-check will place you, and fifteen minutes on a call will settle it faster than this paragraph.

How much does it cost?

It depends on cohort size, how many weeks the journey runs, and whether we are training your facilitators to take it over. A single workshop and a measured multi-cohort programme are different orders of magnitude, so we quote against the outcome you need rather than a day rate. We will give you a number in the first conversation.

How do we get started?

Book a 30 minute adoption review. We go through what you have rolled out, what your numbers are actually telling you, and where the gap is. You leave with a clear read on your situation whether or not we work together.

The evidence

People lose up to 70% of new information within 24 hours without reinforcement. Ebbinghaus, 1885
Only 10 to 15% of formal training changes on the job behaviour without structural support. Baldwin and Ford, 1988

Four ways in. One destination.

Start with a single workshop if that's where you are. Most teams that do end up building a journey, because a single workshop sparks curiosity and the embedded journey changes the way your teams work.

IGNITE
IGNITE
Executive AI Ignition
Leadership teams · decisions, not decks
Your executives are not sure what leadership looks like in the age of AI. This working session is how the vision becomes real: the leadership team leaves having practiced judgement on where AI creates value here, what the guardrails are, and who owns what.
You leave with
- A prioritised value map the room agrees on
- Governance guardrails decided
- A named owner and agreed first moves per priority
See the full programme: Executive AI Ignition
SPARK
SPARK
Spark AI Curiosity
Half a day · whole teams · no prior experience
Your sceptics and your power users are in the same room and nowhere near the same page. Spark fixes that in one session: your team solves a murder mystery together, using AI. Sceptics build something that works and get curious. Power users finally get structure.
You leave with
- A shared language for AI in your team
- One real output per person, built by them
- A pre and post read on mindset and confidence
See the full programme: Spark AI Curiosity
BUILD
BUILD
Department-specific Applied AI
One function · your workflows · your governance
"The training was generic and nobody could see themselves in it." The BUILD workshop is about what one function actually does: HR, finance, marketing, operations, legal. Real workflows, real constraints, real outputs.
You leave with
- 3 to 5 validated use cases from your own work, tested against your governance rules
- A clear boundary for where AI helps and where the human decides
- One working example per person, from their own desk
See the full programme: Department-specific Applied AI
EMBED
EMBED
Embed AI
Cohorts · measured · the flagship
Seeing no change after the training? Embed is a cohort based learning journey where capability builds over weeks rather than hours, and where we measure behaviour instead of attendance.
You leave with
- Measured behaviour change across cohorts
- Use cases running in the real work, not in a workbook
- A measurement baseline you can report upward
- The internal capability to keep it going after we leave

We measure before and after on every engagement: mindset, confidence, and the ability to judge where AI belongs. Attendance tells you nothing.

Customer story

DePoly's team, in their own words

Eric Schwaninger on how a SPARK workshop levelled the playing field, from sceptics to power users.

Four hours. That's all it took to shift something I've been trying to move for months.
Read the full story
“Four hours. That's all it took to shift something I've been trying to move for months. What surprised me most wasn't the content, it was watching our most skeptical team members leave the room energised. By the end, the team wasn't just more informed about AI. They had developed a real AI mindset, actively asking themselves how AI could improve the way they work weeks after the workshop. The impact didn't take weeks to show up. It was immediate.”

“We already work with AI extensively but not everyone had the same basis and enthusiasm to keep up with developments. This workshop levelled the playing field. The hands-on format and team challenge met people where they were. Our sceptics built something useful and got curious. Our power users learned structured approaches they'd been missing. What I appreciated most? They didn't just teach prompting. They taught critical thinking about AI, when to use it, when not to, and how to evaluate quality. Now our whole team speaks the same language and moves at the same pace.”

“Honestly? I didn't expect much from a 4-hour session. But watching my team go from hesitant to hands-on in real-time was incredible. By the end, people were really excited and full of ideas how we could use AI in our day-to-day. The energy shift was immediate. Everyone came out curious about what we could do with AI if we got into it a bit deeper. That curiosity is still driving conversations two weeks later. We're already booking the Build workshop for next quarter.”

The research

We wanted to understand where Swiss organisations really stand on AI adoption.

Six months. 25 Swiss organisations. 230,000 employees. 12 industries. Designed with Dr. Joël Krapf at Bern University of Applied Sciences.

Most organisations are stuck between experimentation and impact, and the distance between the leaders and the laggards is widening fast.
The blockers are human, not technical: uneven skills, unaddressed fear, late governance, training that does not transfer.
Governance accelerates adoption. Employees who trust the rules experiment more, not less.

Who you will work with

Our story

People need to learn faster than change happens. In the age of AI, that only works with curiosity.

We met in consulting and wanted the work to outlast the deck. Curiosity does not survive a slide pack. It survives a room where people make something real, and a habit of measuring whether it stuck.

That is why we do not teach AI like a tool rollout. The thing that has to change is judgement, and judgement is built by practice rather than by explanation.
