Adopting AI in Your Workplace | GPS-AI
Your Team Is Already Using It. Nobody's Agreed How.
Someone on your team sent an AI-drafted quote, email or report to a customer this week. Maybe it was fine. Maybe a customer noticed something wasn’t quite right, and nobody’s found out yet. Either way, nobody agreed this was how you’d use it, and you’re the one who wears it if it goes wrong.
That’s the real problem with AI right now. Not that your business is behind; most aren’t ahead either. It’s that everyone’s using it their own way, with no standard, no ground rules, and no one leading it.
This is a four-hour, hands-on session for owners and managers who’d rather get ahead of that now than clean it up later. You’ll work through real problems from your own business on paper, not just watch slides. Ask questions, compare notes with the other owners in the room, and leave with something written down and agreed, not just an idea.
What to bring
Just a pen and your own business problems to work with. We’ll provide the worksheets, and everything you need is on the page.
What you’ll walk away with
A way to catch AI mistakes (in quotes, emails, reports) before they reach a customer, not after
Three AI ground rules your own team agrees to, out loud, before you leave the room
Time in the room to work on your own business: real numbers, real problems, not hypotheticals
A simple formula for getting useful answers out of AI, practised on a problem from your business
A straight answer on what AI can’t do for your business, so you stop guessing case by case
The confidence to lead this conversation with your team, instead of leaving it to whoever’s most comfortable with a laptop
A completed Five Steps worksheet for your own AI opportunity, filled in during the session, not a folder of notes you never open again
Built for people who run the business, not the software
You’re an owner or manager, and someone on your team has already started using AI without asking
You run a trade, manufacturing or service business in the South West, and you’ve assumed AI is a head-office problem, not a floor-and-leadership one
You’ve watched a "great new system" fail before because it got handed down instead of built with the people who’d actually use it
Not for you if: you want a coding or software-build session. This is about judgement and leadership, not installing tools.
Why this works when other rollouts don’t
Andrew’s mantra is, “AI is 20% technology, 80% psychology”. It is less of a technological implementation, and more of an on-going leadership challenge. He helps businesses to understand that it is human-led AI, not AI-led humans, that matter. AI augments a leader's judgement, it doesn't drive it, the human stays in charge of the call, not the tool. Andrew has helped hundreds of businesses to do this. He has also spoken on AI adoption and leadership at conferences with the CA ANZ, CPA, IPA, RDA South-West, Southern Regional TAFE, Mindshop, the RDA South-West, as well as the upcoming IIF 2026 in Bunbury in October.
