Logistics and supply chain
AI and automation training for logistics and supply chain
Warehousing, distribution, transport and supply chain teams were automating before the current wave of AI arrived, which means the questions here are more mature and more operational. The training is about running these systems, specifying the next ones, and preparing the workforce that has to work alongside them.

Robotics Investment and the Operating Model
A half-day for the people signing the cheque. Where the payback actually comes from, what it costs to run once the integrator leaves, and who in your organisation owns it on a Tuesday.
Addresses: Culture & Support, Responsible Use
Director / Head of, Executive / C-Suite
Course outlinePreparing Your Team for Automation
The robot is the easy part. This course is for the managers whose people will work differently once it arrives: what to say and when, which roles change and how, and the skills plan that makes the change fair.
Addresses: Culture & Support, Confidence & Skills
Team Lead, Manager, Director / Head of
Course outlineSafety, Risk and Compliance for Robotic Workcells
The duties that sit with whoever runs the cell: risk assessment, guarding and interlocks, safe systems of work, and the records an inspector will ask to see. Delivered against your own site.
Addresses: Responsible Use, Culture & Support
Team Lead, Manager, Director / Head of
Course outlineSpecifying a Robotics Deployment
The document that decides whether a deployment succeeds is written before anyone quotes for it. Covers requirements, integrator selection, acceptance testing, and the clauses people wish they had insisted on.
Addresses: Tools & Access, Responsible Use
Manager, Director / Head of
Course outlineAutomating the Work Nobody Wants
The recurring, manual, low-judgement tasks that quietly consume a working week. Participants map one, automate it during the session, and leave with it running.
Addresses: Tools & Access, Daily Practice
Individual Contributor, Team Lead
Course outlineData You Can Actually Use
Why the report is wrong, and what to do about it. Covers the unglamorous work that decides whether anything downstream - dashboards, automation, AI - can be trusted.
Addresses: Tools & Access, Daily Practice
Individual Contributor, Team Lead
Course outlineRobotics: What It Can and Cannot Do
A grounded introduction for people whose work is about to involve a robot. Separates what the technology genuinely does well from what the trade press implies, using real deployments and real failure modes.
Addresses: Confidence & Skills, Tools & Access
Individual Contributor, Team Lead, Manager
Course outlineWarehouse and Logistics Automation in Practice
Automated storage, mobile robots and conveyor systems as they actually behave in a working site: at peak, with awkward stock, and when one unit goes down mid-shift.
Addresses: Daily Practice, Tools & Access
Individual Contributor, Team Lead, Manager
Course outlineWorking Alongside a Cobot
Collaborative robots share a workspace with people, which makes them an operational and behavioural question rather than only a technical one. Hands-on with the daily reality: starting it, guiding it, stopping it, and knowing when not to.

Course outlineWhat this sector brings into the room
- The automation already exists and nobody owns it
- Sortation, conveyors, AMRs and goods-to-person systems bought over several years, with support arrangements that have quietly lapsed. The operational courses deal with running and troubleshooting what is already installed.
- Preparing people for what is coming
- Announcing automation badly costs more than the automation. The manager course covers what to say, when, and how to move people into the work that remains, without pretending nothing changes.
- Planning data that is not good enough to plan with
- Forecasting and analysis work starts from the state of the data, because a model built on a bad master file produces a confident answer that is wrong in an expensive direction.
Also runs for any sector
These work the same way whoever is in the room. They are still delivered on your own material, so they are no less specific to you - the sector simply is not what changes them.
AI in the Executive Workflow
Senior leaders working on their own material rather than talking about AI in the abstract: board papers, briefing notes, analysis of a long document, and the tools that make it repeatable.

Director / Head of, Executive / C-Suite
Course outlineLeading an AI-Ready Team
For the managers who decide whether adoption sticks. Focuses on setting expectations, removing blockers, and building the team habits that survive after the training ends.
Addresses: Culture & Support, Daily Practice
Team Lead, Manager, Director / Head of
Course outlineRunning 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.
Addresses: Culture & Support, Daily Practice
Team Lead, Manager, Director / Head of
Course outlineAI Foundations for Every Role
A facilitated introduction for staff who have little or no structured experience with AI tools. Participants leave having used AI on their own real work, with a clear view of what these systems can and cannot do.
Addresses: Confidence & Skills, Daily Practice
Individual Contributor, Team Lead
Course outlineAI Tooling and Integration Clinic
A short clinic for teams whose tools are in place but underused or disconnected. Run against your organisation's actual toolset rather than a generic demo stack.
Addresses: Tools & Access
Individual Contributor, Team Lead, Manager
Course outlineEmbedding AI in Daily Workflows
Moves participants from ad hoc use to repeatable practice. Each participant maps one of their own recurring workflows and rebuilds it with AI in the loop.
Addresses: Daily Practice, Tools & Access

Course outlineGetting Value From the Tools You Already Own
Most organisations have more unused capability sitting inside licences they already pay for than in anything they are about to buy. This is a working audit of what you have, what it can do, and what to switch on first.
Addresses: Tools & Access
Individual Contributor, Team Lead, Manager
Course outlinePrompting and Output Verification
A working session on getting reliable results and, more importantly, on checking them. Built around the verification habits that separate occasional AI users from dependable ones.

Course outlineWhich of these does your organisation actually need?
The readiness assessment scores each person across five dimensions and maps the gaps onto this catalogue, by department and by role. Five minutes per person, and it answers the question with a measurement rather than a guess.
