Commission a workshop

Bring accessible, hands-on AI training to the small businesses and business communities you support.

We deliver practical AI workshops and follow-on support designed around the needs of busy small business owners and their teams. Sessions are clear, interactive and focused on helping participants use AI confidently in real business situations.

Workshops are 90 minutes | Up to 12 participants | In-person | £495

Built for the realities of small business

Bright Brief workshops are designed around how small businesses actually work, with limited time, lean teams and little appetite for unnecessary complexity.

  • Practical and suitable for non-technical learners

  • Exercises based on genuine tasks from participants’ own businesses

  • Clear guidance on using AI safely and effectively

  • Transferable ways of working across tools including ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Copilot

  • Skills participants can continue applying after the workshop.

Successful AI adoption is not about introducing as much technology as possible, or automating processes before small business leaders understand them. It starts with building confidence, developing good habits and exploring where AI can genuinely add value, before creating more advanced workflows.
