It starts with soft skills, not software. The software is Microsoft Copilot. The skills are ours.
Most AI programmes fail not because the technology doesn’t work — but because the people don’t believe in it or know how best to integrate it into their workflows. Belief is what drives adoption.
Our enablement programmes are built around a simple progression:
Awareness
people know AI exists
Understanding
people see how AI applies to their specific work
Belief
people use it, advocate for it, and build with it
Most programmes stop at Awareness.
We take organisations all the way to Belief.
Enablement works because we combine three elements.
The Triple Helix
Technology
Our knowledge of Microsoft Copilot, Copilot Studio, Azure AI Foundry, Power Platform. We know the stack.
Business Solutions
Real client outcomes, grounded in your actual processes. Not theoretical use cases. We love and understand business.
People
Mindset, change, and leadership. The human side of transformation that few address.

Delivered at group scale: multi-entity programmes across insurance and financial services groups, from the boardroom to the underwriting floor.
Our Programmes
We run different programmes in companies, all with the focus in enabling colleagues to take full advantage of your investment in Microsoft Copilot – some listed below.
Foundation Programmes
(2 levels)
Learn the Fundamentals of AI
These are immersive programmes that demonstrate AI value instantly whilst helping your teams augment their work.
We cover mindset, change, skills for now, prompting for results, assessing your workflows and creating less friction with the tools.
We work to create capability that matters that makes a difference to you individually and collectively as soon as you leave.
Typically the format of these sessions take the form of:
- Online Launch (90 minutes)
- 2 1/2 day sessions in person to max your day and hack your day
- 2 x 90 minute online labs.
Typically cohorts are 12 people for maximum support.
Champions Programme
Develop Your AI Advocates
We know that encouraging champions in the organisation with education and support helps to support your Centres of Excellence or Centres of Enablement to deliver.
We help you identify and develop your internal advocates — the people who will own and build AI long-term.
We created a programme for champions to be up to speed beyond foundations, to run internal training and prompt-a-thons and support agentic delivery (Microsoft 365) for the business.
Agent in a Day
Build AI Comprehension
Max out your agent delivery with an immersive experience to deliver.
This programme is for people who have a good basic knowledge of prompting, the systems and are using AI every day in their work.
The comprehension will give you the skills to build Microsoft 365 agents and the knowledge to recognise the differences between Microsoft 365, Copilot Studio, Foundry agent execution.
Typically, in person delivery.
Leading in AI
Enhance Strategic Alignment
This is a pivotal time for leadership. It will require high intelligence to help us all work with artificial intelligence.
This session builds strategic alignment and board buy-in. The conversations centre around managing the change, the AI paradox in your business, the big questions to be asking, the leadership conversations to be having and the mindset to make this work.
This session runs as either a masterclass (2 hours) or a full workshop (1/2 -1 day).
Ran By Kirsty Mac, Strategic Advisor for Illuminate AI.
Coaching
Curate a Custom AI Workspace
The Illuminated executive, coaching series for senior leaders.
This series is designed to provide fast-tracked education – with insight into Illuminate foundations training packages – and pitched at your capability.
This gives you the insight to curate the AI workspace for you and create the agentic ecosystem to work for you and the leadership discernment to converse with your team and find the strategic wins.
This runs over 8 x 1-hour sessions online.
Board Talks
Understand the AI Impact
AI is on every leadership agenda.
But there is a difference between awareness and action.
These focused sessions move your board from knowing AI matters to understanding
what it means for your business, and from understanding to genuine conviction that
changes how you lead.
