Why a program, not a workshop

Most AI training reaches the keen 20%

Getting a whole team to genuinely adopt AI is a change problem, not a training problem. This program is built to reach everyone — and to prove it worked.

Reaches the whole team, not just early adopters

One-off workshops light up the keen 20%. A structured program — with champions, cadence and measurement — pulls the other 80% along too.

Governance built in, not bolted on

An acceptable-use policy, data-handling rules and approval workflows so legal and security are comfortable and your team can move fast.

Adoption you can actually measure

We baseline usage in week one and report against it. You get dashboards and a 90-day review — not a vague sense that 'people are using AI now'.

An internal champion network

We train champions across your departments so support is desk-side and peer-led. Momentum outlasts the engagement.

The program

Five phases, 6–8 weeks

A structured rollout delivered on-site in Hobart or hybrid — a mix of workshops, hands-on coaching and async support. Every phase produces something concrete.

Phase 1

Adoption Assessment

Week 1

We start by mapping where your team actually is — not where you assume it is.

  • Current-state audit across every department in scope
  • Tool inventory: what's already in use, sanctioned and shadow
  • Skills baseline survey — confidence, frequency, real usage
  • Blocker analysis: the policy, technical and cultural friction points
  • A prioritised adoption roadmap scoped to your team

Phase 2

Champions Program

Weeks 2–3

Adoption sticks when it spreads peer-to-peer — so we build your internal champion network.

  • Selecting AI champions across functions and seniority levels
  • Intensive champion training — deeper than the rest of the team
  • Equipping champions to run desk-side support and clinics
  • A champion playbook: prompts, use cases, escalation paths
  • Monthly champion cadence so momentum outlasts the program

Phase 3

Tooling Rollout

Weeks 3–5

The practical plumbing — getting the right AI tools into the right hands, configured properly.

  • Claude and AI tool setup, licensing and access provisioning
  • Projects configured with your brand voice, templates and context
  • Integrations with the systems your team already works in
  • Role-based rollout sequencing so no one is left behind
  • Hands-on workshops tied to each team's real workflows

Phase 4

Governance & Policy

Weeks 5–6

A clear, practical framework that lets your team move fast without creating risk.

  • An acceptable-use policy written for your organisation
  • Data handling rules — what can and can't go into a prompt
  • Approval workflows for higher-risk or external-facing output
  • Risk guardrails, review rituals and hallucination checks
  • Sign-off pathway with legal, security and leadership

Phase 5

Embed & Measure

Weeks 7–8

We turn a rollout into a habit — and prove the uplift with real numbers.

  • A sustainable training cadence for new starters and refreshers
  • Adoption metrics dashboards — usage, depth and outcomes
  • A 90-day review against the Phase 1 baseline
  • Identifying the next wave of high-value use cases
  • A handover plan so your champions can sustain momentum
Hobart context

Why Hobart organisations need a structured rollout

Hobart's economy has been reshaped by a decade of growth, and its organisations are feeling it. The Tasmanian Government departments in the CBD, the University of Tasmania and the Antarctic and marine science institutions, and the tourism, food and beverage operators that have scaled on the back of the MONA effect are all running teams that have grown faster than their internal processes. That mismatch — more people, more output, no agreed way of working with AI — is exactly what a structured adoption program is built to fix, and it cannot be fixed by a single workshop.

Hobart's labour market makes the program case clearer still. The city has absorbed a wave of mainland sea-changers and remote workers, so teams are a genuine mix of long-tenured Tasmanians and recent arrivals with different tools and habits. Getting that blended team to a consistent, confident standard of AI use takes a champions network and a sustainable training cadence, not a one-off session. For government and university teams handling official or research data, the governance phase — an acceptable-use policy and clear data-handling rules — turns scattered experimentation into something leadership can endorse.

A Team AI Adoption program for a Hobart organisation starts with a current-state assessment across your departments, builds an internal champions network that brings new arrivals and long-tenured staff to the same standard, rolls tooling out by role, and produces a governance framework your compliance or research-integrity area can sign off. Delivered on-site in the Hobart CBD or around Salamanca, or hybrid, over 6 to 8 weeks — with adoption dashboards and a 90-day review so leadership can prove the uplift.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

How much does a Team AI Adoption program cost in Hobart?+
Programs start From A$8,500 and are custom-scoped to your team. The final figure depends on team size, the number of departments in scope, and how much governance and integration work is involved. We scope every engagement on a discovery call and send a fixed-price proposal before anything is committed — there are no per-seat charges.
How is this different from a one-day AI workshop?+
A workshop teaches a room of people for a day. A Team AI Adoption program changes how a whole organisation works over 6–8 weeks. It includes a current-state assessment, an internal champions network, the tooling rollout, a governance and acceptable-use policy, and adoption measurement. Workshops are a component — the program is the system that makes the change stick.
What size team is this designed for?+
We run programs for teams and organisations of roughly 10 to 200 people. Below 10, a workshop is usually a better fit. Above 200, we phase the rollout department by department. Most clients engage us at the team, division or whole-of-organisation level.
Do we need to have chosen an AI tool already?+
No. Tool selection is part of Phase 1. We're Claude specialists and Rye is Australia's Claude Ambassador, but the assessment is vendor-honest — we'll recommend the tooling that fits your security posture, budget and workflows, and we don't take referral commissions.
How do you measure whether adoption actually worked?+
We baseline your team's AI usage, confidence and workflows in Phase 1, then report against that baseline. You get adoption dashboards through the program and a formal 90-day review covering usage depth, workflow change and outcomes — so the result is evidence, not anecdote.
Can our organisation expense the program?+
Yes. We issue tax invoices with a full GST breakdown to your company name and ABN, and can stage payment across the program. We're happy to provide a detailed quote and scope document for finance or procurement sign-off before you commit.
