Workshop catalogue

Modules we mix into your plan.

Every workshop is assembled from the modules below — chosen to match your team's role, current AI exposure, and the workflows you actually need to improve.

Foundations
AI in 90 minutes
What LLMs are, what they aren't, where they're going. For leadership and any team member who needs to think clearly about AI before using it.
1.5h
Foundations
Prompting fundamentals
How to talk to Claude/ChatGPT to get reliable answers. The patterns that work, the ones that don't, why your last 20 prompts gave you mediocre output.
3h
Role-specific
AI for sales teams
Outbound research, personalised drafting, meeting prep, CRM enrichment. Used live with your team's real prospects, not generic examples.
3h
Role-specific
AI for ops & admin
Inbox triage, document handling, report drafting, internal Q&A. Workshop ends with your team having automated something real.
3h
Role-specific
AI for developers
Working effectively with Cursor / Claude Code / Copilot. Architecture decisions, code review patterns, what to delegate to AI and what to keep human.
4h
Leadership
Building AI strategy
For founders/MDs. Where to invest, how to evaluate vendors, building internal capability vs outsourcing. Output: your 12-month AI plan on paper.
3h
Governance
EU AI Act for SMEs
What the Act actually requires of your business, classifying your AI uses, writing an internal policy. Compliance without consultant theatre.
2h

The approach

Hands-on. Your work. Not slides.

80% of every workshop is participants doing real work with AI on their real tools. 20% is the framing that makes it stick.

Pre-workshop interview
30-min call with the team lead before we arrive. What does your team actually do? Where are the real bottlenecks? We tailor every exercise to that.
Bring your own work
Attendees bring 2-3 real tasks they want to improve. We do those tasks together with AI in the room — not generic case studies.
Live AI use, not slides
We use Claude/ChatGPT/n8n in front of everyone. People see real success, real failure, and learn the difference. Lecture mode is minimised.
Take-home playbook
Each workshop ends with a written playbook specific to your team — prompts that work, workflows to start tomorrow, things to avoid.

Honest about what training does

Three things workshops alone won't fix.

Bad data underneath
If your CRM is 60% wrong, no amount of staff training fixes the downstream AI experience. Sometimes the workshop output is 'we need to clean data first'.
Strategic confusion
If leadership isn't aligned on AI priorities, a team workshop will leave people excited then confused. Start with the Readiness audit, then train.
Wrong tools
If you're paying for AI tools your team can't connect to anything, training won't unblock that. Sometimes you need the integration work first.
Frequently asked

Training questions.

Practitioners who teach. Everyone delivering workshops also builds AI systems for paying clients — so the content reflects what actually works in real businesses, not what reads well in a deck. We don't have a 'training team' separate from a 'delivery team'.
5-15 for hands-on workshops (everyone can do real work in the room with us watching). Up to 50 for leadership briefings or foundations modules. Larger custom programs run as cohorts.
Both. On-site works better for foundations + workshop modules — energy is higher, problems get solved in side conversations. Remote works well for leadership briefings + Q&A sessions. We travel Ireland-wide for on-site.
Yes — Article 4 of the Act requires staff using AI to have appropriate AI literacy. Our governance workshop maps directly to that obligation. We document attendance for your audit trail.
Tailored prompt library, written playbook for their role, recording of the sessions, and a Slack channel for follow-up questions for 30 days. Plus actual completed work from the workshop itself.
Yes — co-branded delivery available. Several Crescentek clients offer AI workshops to their own customers as a value-add service. We white-label the materials and deliver under your brand.
