AI is the biggest shift since digital
AI is already changing the way creative work gets done in your organisation. Some people on your team are roaring ahead. Others have barely touched it. Most are somewhere in between – experimenting in silos, unsure what good looks like, unclear on when and how they should be using AI in their work.
The result is inconsistent quality, uneven confidence, and a creeping anxiety about data, IP and responsible use.

A transformative program for our studio
It’s been a transformative program for our studio. AI streamlines our creative and visualisation process, giving designers more time to focus on craft… resulting in higher-quality work, clearer client understanding, and new opportunities to deliver innovative solutions.

The approach has been extremely well-considered
We've achieved a great deal in the last three months given that we started from a place of almost nothing. The approach has been extremely well-considered.

It has become a normal tool within the business
The adoption and day-to-day usage of AI is now really high. It has become a normal tool within the business – which is fantastic.

FAQs about the Spark AI Foundations
-
Yes. The workshop is hands-on and your team will be using these tools throughout. Every participant needs a paid account to ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini or Claude. Not sure which to choose? We’ll be happy to advise based on your business needs.
-
The structure has been refined through hundreds of participants – and we tailor the exercises and examples to the kind of work your team does.
-
We don't offer hybrid delivery. The programme works best – and your team gets the most from it – when everyone participates in the same format, in the same way. You can choose in person or online, but we ask that the whole team commits to one.
-
This session is suitable for users of all levels – it teaches people how to use and think about AI, in their daily work, how to navigate data privacy and IP, and how the industry is changing. Even frequent AI users tell us they learned something new.
-
AI Foundations is a half-day baseline session for your whole team – building shared language, confidence and responsible use across all roles. AI for Strategists goes significantly deeper, focusing specifically on how to embed AI into the strategic workflow: research, insight generation, positioning, validation and storytelling. Most organisations start with AI Foundations and progress to the role-specific streams of the AI Accelerator soon after.
-
AI Foundations is designed to be immediately useful – your team will be applying what they've learned the next day. For organisations that want to go further, the AI Accelerator picks up where AI Foundations leaves off. We also offer leadership coaching and bespoke consultancy.
