AI training for People teams

Help your People team use AI well in the work they already do.

Practical training and facilitated HR hackathons for People teams. Start with the outcome you need, whether that is more consistent AI use, a better workflow or a team that can solve problems together.

Your team learns to understand the work, decide where AI belongs, test an approach and explain what should happen next. Human judgement stays where the work needs it.

What gets taught

Start with the outcome your team needs

Workshops, deeper programmes and a facilitated team event. We agree what people should be able to do and what they will produce to show it.

Use AI more consistently

AI Foundations is a 90 minute workshop on choosing suitable work, briefing AI and checking the result. Delegating Work to AI goes further for regular users.


Improve a People workflow

Bring a real problem to Applied AI for People Teams, or go deeper with the Practitioner Programme. Leaders have a separate workshop on adoption, boundaries and evidence.


Applied AI Champion Programme

Two days for selected practitioners who will help colleagues diagnose and test AI opportunities. The separate Certified pathway adds applied work and assessment. How the programme works


Bring your team together to solve problems

A facilitated HR Hackathon. Colleagues analyse a problem, scope an approach, build something small and test it together. Explore the HR Hackathon

How it fits together

Three parts. Start with any one.

People Team AI trains the people. The PROVEN Framework™ installs the method. TransformLayer runs the programme.

  1. You are here

    Build the capability

    Practical AI training for People teams, up to an Applied AI Champion Programme that ends in evidence rather than attendance.

  2. PROVEN Framework™

    Install the method

    Consulting that sets up how your company finds, filters, pilots and measures AI ideas, ending in scale, change or stop.

    Explore the PROVEN Framework™
  3. TransformLayer

    Run the programme

    AI use case management software. One place for ideas, approvals, pilots and what each one returned.

What it actually says

A finding about time, not about jobs

Every one of the 201 tasks in the nine People roles was rated for one question: could AI halve the time this takes, at the same quality. That is a finding about time, and the band rated out of reach is not a promise of safety.

Which leaves a practical question: which of your team's tasks are which, and who decides?

Free tool

Find out where your team is actually stuck

About three minutes per person, with no name or email requested from participants. See reported barriers, confidence and the work they want to improve.

Use the answers to choose a useful next step. That might be clearer guidance, approved tool access, practice or a conversation about how the work is organised.

What makes this different

Four things, and the last one is the awkward one

Built for People work. Twenty-five years in and around People teams. The examples are hiring, onboarding and policy, not software demos.

Built on evidence. Published research, named sources, and a method written down before anything was scored.

Capability, not attendance. People test their own work, try to break each other's, fix what fails and show it working.

AI is allowed to be the wrong answer. A well-evidenced decision not to build something is a good outcome, and it is taught as one.

The receipts

Published, and checkable

Numbers checked against what was measured, under a method published before anything was scored. None of it behind a form.

If you are weighing this up

Run the survey first. If a workshop is the wrong answer for what comes back, you will be told that.
