The pattern we keep seeing.
A leader buys ChatGPT or Copilot licences, sends a Slack message, and waits. Six weeks later, three people use AI heroically, twelve people use it like Google, and the rest are quietly afraid to touch it in front of clients. The gap between your best and worst AI user is widening, and nobody is closing it.
AI use is inconsistent.
The gap between your best and worst AI user is widening, and nobody on the team is closing it without a written standard to point at.
Licences are paid for, adoption is below 40%.
You're already spending the money on ChatGPT, Copilot or Claude, without the productivity return that justified the budget.
Managers can't tell good AI work from bad.
Quality drift goes unreviewed; your house style starts to fragment one rep at a time.
What is Workshops for Teams?
A practical AI workshop for Australian SMB teams. Half-day or full-day, on your real work, building one shared prompting standard the whole team can follow.
The entry-level capability layer. We turn AI from a few enthusiasts in the corner into a shared way of working. Built around your real workflows, your real documents, and the tasks costing your team the most time today.
Edison AI runs half-day and full-day AI workshops for Australian SMB teams of 6–60 people. The workshop covers prompting, output review, safe data handling and rebuilds three of the team's real workflows live. Teams leave with a starter prompt library, a one-page safe-use standard and a 30-day follow-up review.
The shifts you can't postpone.
Foundations is a quarter-by-quarter compounding decision. Fix the baseline this quarter and the team is two quarters ahead by year-end.
- 01
The baseline has moved.
AI tools are now in your competitors' inboxes, sales pipelines and customer support. The question is no longer whether your team uses AI. It's whether they use it well.
- 02
Informal use is already happening.
Staff are pasting work into free ChatGPT accounts on personal laptops. Without a standard, that's a quiet risk, and a quietly fragmenting house style.
- 03
The compounding window is short.
Teams that fix their AI baseline this quarter will be two quarters ahead by year-end. The competitor lifting AI fluency early is the one that wins the year.

Where this shows up.
Sales
Current
Reps spend hours on CRM updates, follow-up emails and proposal drafting.
Future
AI drafts CRM notes, follow-ups in the rep's voice and proposal v0 from a structured brief; reps approve and send.
Outcome
More time selling, less typing. Faster pipeline movement and a more consistent house tone.
Operations
Current
Monday-morning status summaries eat the first hour of the week.
Future
AI drafts the summary from the prior week's records; the ops lead reviews and posts.
Outcome
Meetings start on time with a shared picture instead of a scramble.
Marketing
Current
Every social post, email and landing page starts from a blank page.
Future
AI produces a first draft against your house style; marketing edits, sharpens and ships.
Outcome
More output without more headcount, and less blank-page friction.
Customer support
Current
Tickets queue while reps draft replies one by one.
Future
AI suggests a tailored reply in your tone; the agent reviews and edits in 30 seconds.
Outcome
Faster response, consistent tone, fewer escalations.
Finance
Current
Month-end commentary is rewritten from scratch by the same one or two people.
Future
AI generates a first commentary from report data; finance approves or rewrites.
Outcome
Faster close and fewer 'we'll send the commentary tomorrow' emails.
Admin / EA
Current
Meeting notes, action items and inbox triage burn admin time across the week.
Future
AI captures notes, drafts replies and surfaces priorities; admins approve and route.
Outcome
Senior PA leverage on junior PA hours. The team's most senior brains spend time on judgement, not transcription.
The engagement.
- Step 01
Diagnose
Pre-work survey and a 30-minute call with the team lead so the agenda lands on workflows that matter.
- Step 02
Design
We tailor the workshop to your sector, stack and three priority tasks. Never an off-the-shelf agenda.
- Step 03
Deploy
Live, hands-on workshop on your real work. Prompting standards in the first hour, then three workflows rebuilt with AI end-to-end.
- Step 04
Embed
30-day check-in plus a written summary for the team lead. What stuck, what slipped, what to do next.
What changes.
3–5 hrs
Per person, per week reclaimed in the first 30 days.
Measured against the team's pre-workshop baseline. Typically shows up first in admin, sales follow-up and marketing draft cycles.
40%+
Adoption lift on existing AI licences within four weeks.
On teams entering below 40% adoption. The standard removes the 'is this OK?' friction that was quietly suppressing daily use.
One shared standard, replacing 12 personal styles.
Output variance narrows visibly within a fortnight. Your managers finally have something to review work against.
Who this works for.
This is for you if…
- You run a team of 6–60 and AI use is inconsistent
- You've paid for AI licences and adoption is below 40%
- You want one shared standard, not 12 personal styles
- You're about to roll AI out more broadly and want a baseline first
- Your managers are unsure what to review and what to escalate
- You'd rather your team learnt this from a practitioner than a YouTube playlist
Not the right fit yet if…
- You want a generic public webinar with no live work attempted
- You haven't decided on a baseline AI tool (we'll help, but you'll need to commit)
- You're looking for a certification rather than team capability

Edison AI
Operator-grade, founder-led, fixed quote. Built around your real stack and workflows , not a binder, a brochure, or a six-figure off-the-shelf programme.
What buyers ask first.
“Our team isn't technical.”
Good. Foundations is designed for non-technical staff. The hardest part is unlearning bad ChatGPT habits, not learning new tools.
“Will this replace our staff?”
No. Foundations training gives the team you already have more leverage. Hours back per person, not heads off the org chart.
“What if half the team is sceptical?”
Expected and welcome. The workshop is designed for the sceptic in the room. We work on real outputs they can judge with their own eyes against their own standards.
Common questions.
How long is the workshop?
Half-day (3.5 hours) or full-day (6.5 hours), depending on how many real workflows we rebuild together.
How much does an AI workshop for a team cost in Australia?
$4,500–$12,000 plus GST per workshop, depending on team size, sector and depth. Includes the pre-workshop diagnostic, the live session, the prompt library, the safe-use one-pager and the 30-day check-in.
How large can a workshop be?
Up to 30 people in a single live workshop. For larger teams we run multiple cohorts so every participant gets hands-on time on their real work.
In-person or remote?
Either. In-person works best for groups under 20 across Sydney and metro NSW; remote works well for distributed teams Australia-wide.
Will it be tailored to our industry?
Yes. Every workshop is built using examples and exercises from your business. Never generic templates. The pre-work survey makes this possible.
What AI tools do we need before the workshop?
We support ChatGPT Team, Claude Teams or Microsoft Copilot. If you haven't picked a baseline tool we'll help you decide in the diagnostic call.
Is our data safe during the workshop?
We never put sensitive client data into public tools during the workshop. The safe-use one-pager you keep covers what goes in and what stays out. The foundations of a defensible team standard.
What happens after the workshop?
A 30-day check-in call to see what stuck, plus a written summary for the team lead with recommendations on what to do next. Usually role-based training or a structured playbook engagement.
The same service creates different leverage depending on your industry.
