Running an AI Champions Network

Champions programmes fail politely: volunteers are named, nothing changes. This is for the manager who owns the network - choosing the right people, giving them time and permission, and keeping it alive after month two.

What participants can do afterwards

  • Choose champions for influence and appetite rather than job title
  • Give champions a remit their managers will actually honour
  • Run the routine that moves working practice between teams
  • Spot a stalling network early and restart it

Modules

4 modules, 5 facilitated hours.

  1. 1.Choosing the right people

    1 hrs

    Influence and appetite over job title: who actually moves practice in your organisation.

    • Choose champions who will actually be followed

  2. 2.Remit, time and permission

    1.5 hrs

    What a champion is for, and the agreement with their manager that stops the role evaporating.

    • Set a champion remit their manager will honour

  3. 3.The routine that spreads practice

    1.5 hrs

    A regular, lightweight forum that moves what works in one team into the next.

    • Run a routine that moves practice between teams

  4. 4.Keeping it alive

    1 hrs

    The month-two slump: recognising it, and the restarts that work better than exhortation.

    • Restart a stalling network

How it is delivered

A facilitator runs the course live, in person or live online. Attendance is taken per session, participants submit work against the modules above, and a facilitator grades it. Those records stay with the organisation and can be exported.
