Speaking & Workshops

I speak at conferences and run workshops for school leaders, education organisations, and knowledge-work teams on AI readiness, AI strategy, and expertise encoding. Every session is grounded in real work with live demos, practical frameworks, and honest conversations about what’s working and what isn’t.

For schools and education organisations

Keynote: “Your School Isn’t Behind on AI, You Just Don’t Have a Map” A 45-60 minute talk introducing the AI Readiness Framework, including a live demonstration of the assessment tool. Designed for conferences, school group leadership retreats, and association events.

Workshop: “AI Readiness in 90 Minutes” A half-day facilitated session where your leadership team completes the AI Readiness Assessment together, discusses the results, and builds a prioritised action plan. Read more about AI readiness for schools.

Breakout: Focused Topics 25-45 minute sessions on specific themes:

  • “Zero to 70%” – What AI does well and where human expertise starts
  • “Curiosity Before Curriculum” – Building teacher AI confidence through exploration, not mandates
  • “Redesign One Assessment” – A practical exercise in rethinking assessment for the AI era

For professional and knowledge-work teams

Keynote: “From Prompting to Expertise Encoding” A practical talk on why generic AI tools fail professional teams, and how organisations can turn expert judgement, documents, workflows, and quality gates into AI systems that retain context. Read more about expertise encoding.

Workshop: “Building AI Systems That Remember How Your Organisation Works” A facilitated session for teams who want to identify which knowledge, decisions, documents, and repeated workflows are worth encoding into AI infrastructure.

Related topics include source-grounded retrieval and synthesis, human-in-the-loop workflows, AI knowledge systems, and moving from chat prompts to reusable organisational capability.
