AI training is being bought quickly and randomly · Staff learn AI tools but don't change
AI training is everywhere right now. Firms are spending huge sums on Copilot, prompt engineering, workflow automation and AI productivity programmes. The problem is that too much of it is being bought in a rush. A course title sounds right. A provider sounds credible. A demo looks impressive. Everyone leaves knowing a few prompts. Then, three weeks later, behaviour has barely changed. Alumno Consulting helps financial services firms avoid that trap. We design and deliver AI training that is practical, engaging, industry-specific and focused on long-term behaviour change. The objective is not simply to teach people what Copilot, ChatGPT or other AI tools can do. The objective is to help them use those tools confidently, safely and repeatedly in the real work they do every day. That means learning AI in context: financial markets, banking, asset management, risk, regulation, Excel, presentations, client work, research, analysis, meetings and workflow redesign. With over 30 years of financial services training experience, 80,000+ delegates trained, and experience with 9 of the 10 largest investment banks, we understand both sides of the problem: the technology and the people who need to use it. Our sessions are interactive, energetic and memorable because that is how learning sticks. AI training should not be generic, passive or forgettable. It should change what people do when they get back to their desks. If your firm is investing in AI capability, make sure the money turns into changed behaviour, better workflows and measurable confidence, not just another course people attended.

Leadership and management capability gaps · Low productivity and skills shortages
Organisations don't underperform because of strategy. They underperform because of capability gaps — in their people, their teams, and the cultures that shape how work actually gets done. At Acudemy, our work starts from a simple premise: when you invest in the right skills at the right level, performance follows. We are a UK-based professional training organisation established in 2014, with a track record of developing capability across technical, leadership and behavioural disciplines for over 300 organisations across the UK and internationally. We work with businesses and institutions to design and deliver learning that builds real, lasting competence in the people who drive performance day to day. Our work spans payroll and finance, project and change management, digital skills, leadership and management, workplace wellbeing and continuous improvement. These disciplines reflect the breadth of capability that modern organisations need to function well, adapt quickly and sustain strong results. Every programme we deliver is built around practical application, because the measure of learning is what changes when people return to work. We hold accreditations and partnerships with CMI, PRINCE2, AgilePM, Lean Six Sigma, CIPD, IAB, ITIL and Sage, and our programmes are designed to align with the real environments and pressures our clients face. Delivery is flexible — classroom, virtual, on-site or blended — shaped around your organisation rather than a fixed schedule. What we offer Technical and compliance capability — payroll, finance, HR and IT programmes that build precision, confidence and regulatory literacy across your teams. Leadership and management development — practical programmes that strengthen how your managers lead, make decisions and create conditions for performance. Digital and analytical skills — Excel, Power BI, AI literacy and broader digital capability built for the modern professional environment. Behavioural and organisational development — DEI, mental health awareness, resilience and soft skills that strengthen culture, communication and team performance. Why organisations work with Acudemy Our clients include Barclays, BT, British American Tobacco, DFDS, FlixBus, Thames Water and the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO), among many others across the public, private and third sectors. Our trainers bring direct industry experience alongside instructional expertise, and our programmes are consistently rated for the quality of facilitation and the practicality of what delegates take away. We understand that a training investment only has value if it changes how people perform. That is the standard we hold ourselves to on every engagement — and why the organisations we work with continue to come back. Our mission is to help organisations build the skilled, capable and confident people they need to perform and grow. Our vision is to be the development partner that organisations return to, programme after programme and year after year.

Leadership misalignment across teams and functions · Leadership integrity and ethical decision gaps
SHARP™ Leadership Academy — Building Leadership People Can Trust SHARP™ Leadership Academy helps organizations strengthen leadership integrity, governance, accountability, and decision-making before small gaps become significant organizational risks. Based in British Columbia, Canada, SHARP™ works with executives, leadership teams, and organizations seeking to build stronger cultures, more accountable leadership, and greater institutional trust. Our work is built around a simple belief: strong governance does not slow growth- it protects it. Rather than treating leadership development and governance as separate disciplines, SHARP™ connects the two. We examine not only what organizations say through policies and values, but how leadership is actually experienced through decisions, behaviours, accountability, and everyday organizational practices. At the centre of our approach is the proprietary SHARP™ Framework - Standards, Honesty, Alignment, Resilience, and Presence - a practical system for strengthening trustworthy leadership and organizational integrity. Core Program Areas Leadership Integrity & Ethical Decision-Making Practical leadership development designed to help leaders navigate difficult decisions, competing priorities, organizational pressure, and ethical complexity while maintaining trust and accountability. Leadership Alignment & Accountability Programs that help leadership teams identify misalignment between strategy, values, behaviours, roles, and decision-making - creating greater clarity, ownership, and organizational consistency. Governance Intelligence Structured governance diagnostics and leadership assessments designed to identify gaps that may not be visible through traditional leadership training alone. SHARP™ examines operational evidence, human signals, and standards alignment to help organizations understand where governance is working and where greater attention may be required. Executive Leadership Development Development experiences for executives and senior leaders focused on resilience, credible presence, decision confidence, accountability, and leading effectively through complexity and change. Grace & Grit Leadership A distinctive SHARP™ leadership approach combining human-centred leadership with the courage to maintain standards under pressure. Grace represents empathy, humility, respect, and humanity. Grit represents courage, resilience, accountability, and the willingness to make difficult decisions. Together, they help leaders remain both human and principled. Responsible AI & Governance Leadership-focused programs helping organizations consider the governance implications of AI adoption, including accountability, human oversight, ethical decision-making, organizational trust, and responsible leadership. The focus is not simply on understanding AI technology, but on ensuring leadership and governance evolve alongside it. Organizational Leadership & Governance Pilots SHARP™ offers structured organizational pilots that allow leadership teams to identify priority governance and leadership gaps, test practical interventions, and develop a focused roadmap for improvement. These engagements can combine governance assessment, leadership development, facilitated executive conversations, and practical recommendations. Executive Assessments & Leadership Clarity Sessions Focused assessments and executive conversations designed to help leaders identify areas affecting leadership effectiveness, alignment, resilience, decision-making, and credible presence. Speaking, Workshops & Executive Conversations SHARP™ also delivers workshops, facilitated leadership conversations, and speaking engagements for leadership teams, executive groups, professional associations, and organizational events. Topics include: • Leadership integrity in high-pressure environments • The hidden integrity gaps behind organizational failure • Governance as a strategic advantage • Grace & Grit leadership • Trust, accountability, and ethical decision-making • Responsible leadership in the age of AI • Building organizations people can trust Who SHARP™ Supports SHARP™ is designed for: • Executives and senior leadership teams • CEOs, founders, and organizational leaders • Boards and governance decision-makers • Risk, compliance, and transformation leaders • Organizations navigating growth or change • Institutions strengthening trust and accountability • Leaders responsible for AI and emerging-technology decisions Our objective is not simply to deliver another leadership course. It is to help organizations identify the gaps between what they intend, what they say, and what people actually experience - and turn those insights into stronger leadership, better governance, and greater institutional trust.

Claude adoption stalled after rollout · Team using 10% of Claude's potential
AI First Training delivers expert-led classroom, online, and on-site training in Claude AI for businesses. Every course is built around practical, hands-on instruction for real-world workflows — not abstract AI theory — and taught by practitioners who use Claude in their own businesses every day. The course catalogue covers the full spectrum of Claude adoption: the Claude for Business series (101, 201, and Masterclass) for teams building AI-powered ways of working, the Claude Code series for those developing technical build skills with Claude, and focused one-day specialist modules — Claude for SMEs, Claude for Design, Claude for Marketing, and Claude for Sales — for role-specific application. Bespoke and executive programmes are also available, tailored to a company's specific tools, workflows, and goals. Training is delivered flexibly — classroom (capped at 10 participants for close instructor attention), live online, one-to-one, or on-site/corporate — with public course locations in London, Edinburgh, Manchester, and Plymouth. Every course includes a free resit if unsatisfied, 30 days of post-training support, and recording access for all participants, so learning continues well beyond the training day itself.

We show who's using AI well, and who isn't · We turn real AI usage into audit-ready evidence.
AI moved fast. Workforce training didn't catch up, and nobody can currently see who's using AI carelessly, inconsistently, or not at all. Terlo closes that gap with a continuous, automated cycle rather than a one-off course. It senses how your people actually use AI in the flow of their day-to-day work, across chat assistants, coding tools and copilots, with no new app to install. That usage is scored against a live competency model, turning real behaviour into an explainable, audit-ready record instead of a policy document nobody can point to. From there, Terlo automatically builds each person a training pathway matched to their actual gaps, delivers it natively, and re-scores the moment it's done, so the picture never goes stale. The result: training spend stops going to people who don't need it, the people quietly taking risks get flagged and supported, and your organisation ends up with a defensible, per-person and per-team evidence trail: the kind of proof regulators, auditors and insurers now expect, not a completion spreadsheet. Terlo is built for organisations that need AI competency to be real: evidenceable, targeted, and framed as enablement for the people doing the work, not surveillance. Deployment is single-tenant, deployable into your chosen cloud region, and designed to meet standards like OWASP, ASVS and Cyber Essentials Plus.
