AI WORKSHOPS

Your team has AI tools. They don't know how to use them.

We run workshops that fix this. Your people learn ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini by doing their actual work - not watching slides. They leave same day with workflows they can use and time savings they can measure.

Built by founders with experience at Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, Uber, and Aurelius.

THE GAP

Most AI training is a waste of money.

Here's what usually happens. Company buys AI training. Team attends a workshop. Everyone's engaged for a few days. Then nothing changes. People go back to old habits because the prompts they learned don't fit their actual jobs. The tools they practiced aren't approved by IT. The ROI projection they saw never materializes.

And that's when training happens at all. BCG found that 70% of companies have trained fewer than one in four employees on AI. The minority who do invest in training often get generic workshops that don't connect to actual workflows—so the spend disappears into the same gap.

70%

Of companies have trained less than 1 in 4 of their workforce

HOW THIS WORKS

Training from people who build AI systems for a living.

We've built AI systems at Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan. Production systems. Thousands of users, compliance review, real money on the line. The workflows we teach are the ones we use. The mistakes we warn you about are ones we've made.

Any model. Any task.

43% of enterprise employees already use multiple AI models. We teach ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini side by side. Same task, different model, compare outputs. Your team learns to pick the right tool instead of defaulting to whatever they downloaded first.

Anthropic Economic Index, November 2025

Time savings you measure, not imagine.

Every participant gets an ROI tracking worksheet. We measure baseline before the workshop. You measure again at 30 days. Most teams log 3–5 hours saved per person per week within the first month. If they don't, we want to know why.

THE CURRICULUM

150+ hours documented. You get the version that works.

Every workshop draws from a five-tier curriculum we've documented, tested, and revised over two years. We don't improvise. We don't wing it. We teach what's already working in production environments at enterprise scale.

The prompting framework we teach

Every participant learns CRISP, the framework we use daily.

C for Context: Who are you? What's the situation? Background the AI needs to do its job.
R for Role: What role should the AI play? Expert consultant, editor, analyst, devil's advocate.
I for Instruction: What specific task do you need? Be explicit about format, scope, output.
S for Specificity: Constraints. Word count, tone, structure, what to include, what to avoid.
P for Practical examples: 1–3 examples of desired output. Show, don't tell.

This isn't abstract theory. It's the method we use every day.

Five-tier curriculum (overview)

Tier	Hours	For	Outcome
T1 Foundation	4-6	First-time users	2-3 hrs/week saved
T2 Practitioner	12-16	Regular users building workflows	5-8 hrs/week saved
T3 Power User	20-30	Team leads scaling adoption	10-15 hrs/week saved
T4 Specialist	40-60	Technical staff building systems	Production AI capability
T5 Architect	80+	Transformation leaders	Org-wide AI strategy

Most workshops cover T1–T2. Custom Deep-Dive can extend into T3+.

Why it's hands-on: Research consistently shows active learning improves skill retention and reduces failure rates compared to lecture-based instruction. That's why 60–70% of our workshop time is practice, not slides.

WHO BOOKS THIS

Teams where AI saves hours, not minutes.

If your work involves research, writing, analysis, or documentation, AI can recover significant time. We've trained teams across finance, legal, marketing, product, operations, engineering. The pattern isn't department. It's work type.

Research, analysis, writing, communication

The work that fills your calendar but doesn't require your expertise. Competitive analysis. Variance narratives. Status updates. Meeting prep. First drafts.

Roles: Analysts, associates, managers, coordinators

Requirements, roadmaps, competitive intelligence

PRDs that took a day take an hour. User stories write themselves. Competitive analysis becomes a weekly habit instead of a quarterly fire drill.

Roles: Product managers, strategists, business analysts

Code review, documentation, debugging

80.2% time savings on computer and mathematical tasks. Documentation that used to get skipped gets written. Code reviews move faster. Architecture decisions get a second opinion.

Roles: Engineers, data analysts, technical writers

Anthropic Economic Index, November 2025

Variance narratives, process docs, audit prep

83.5% time savings on business and financial tasks. Month-end narratives. Compliance documentation. Process SOPs. The work that matters but never feels urgent.

Roles: Financial analysts, ops managers, compliance officers

THE RESEARCH

We cite 84% as the ceiling. Then we discount for reality.

In November 2025, Anthropic analyzed 100,000 real AI conversations to measure actual productivity gains. Not surveys. Not lab experiments. Real work from paying users. The median time savings across all tasks: 84%. We use that number as the upper bound, then apply adoption factors so your finance team can audit the math.

What Anthropic's study doesn't count

Time spent refining outputs across multiple sessions
Quality verification: checking that AI got it right
Learning curve for new users
Task selection bias: study measures tasks people chose to bring to AI

Past controlled experiments found 14–56% savings for untrained users. Our training exists to close the gap between those numbers and the 84% ceiling.

STRAIGHT TALK

Pricing questions answered.

Why is in-person 35% more expensive?

In-person delivery requires additional preparation, travel time, and facilitator commitment. The 35% premium reflects real costs, not arbitrary markup. Travel expenses are billed separately at cost with receipts provided.

£433 per person for half a day. How do you justify that?

We give you the worksheet to justify it yourself. 15 people saving 3 hours per week equals 45 team hours weekly equals 2,250 hours annually. At £40/hour loaded labor cost, that's £90,000 in recovered time. £6,500 investment. Payback: under 4 weeks. You'll have the numbers to verify.

Source for ROI methodology: Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, 2025

We have fewer than 6 people.

Very small teams typically have different needs: more senior, requiring more personalized attention and custom workflow integration. We recommend Custom Deep-Dive for groups under 6, which lets us tailor the engagement precisely rather than fitting you into a standard format.

Why isn't Custom Deep-Dive pricing displayed?

Because every engagement is genuinely different. A Custom Deep-Dive for a fintech startup looks nothing like one for a pharmaceutical company's compliance team. We'd rather understand your needs first and propose something that actually fits, than publish a number that might be too high or too low for your situation.

Can we start with a Bootcamp, then upgrade to Deep-Dive?

Yes. Many clients do exactly this. Team Bootcamp is a great way to prove value and build internal momentum before committing to a larger transformation. If you progress to Custom Deep-Dive within 12 months, we apply a 10% loyalty discount.

Do you have client references?

Our founders built AI at Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan before starting Excetra. For references from our consulting work specifically, ask us directly. We'll connect you with clients who've agreed to speak with prospects.
