What you'll get
This pack works in three stages. Each one serves a different purpose and a different audience in your business.
For the leadership team
Everything you need as the owner or leader. What AI actually is, why unmanaged use (Shadow AI) creates real risk, what good looks like, and five steps to take straight away.
For your team
A ready-made acceptable use policy to adapt and circulate. Minutes to make your own, and it gives your business proper governance from day one.
For everyone
A simple guide to writing prompts that get better results. Share it with anyone in your business who uses AI day to day.
Included with the guide
In half an hour we'll show you where AI may already be in use, talk through your main governance and data risks, look at whether Microsoft Copilot is the right starting point, and outline your first practical steps. No obligation.
Why this matters
Your team are almost certainly using AI already. When that happens with no governance in place, their good intentions quietly turn into real risk. There is even a name for it: Shadow AI.
It is staff using AI tools without approval, oversight, or any data protection controls. Not to cause trouble, but because the tools are free, easy, and genuinely useful. They sign up on personal accounts and quietly weave AI into their day, and nobody in charge ever sees it.
The moment company or client information goes into one of those tools, you have lost sight of where your data has gone.
Most technology arrives top-down. Leadership spots the opportunity, approves the budget, and signs off the rollout. AI is not following that pattern. It is arriving from the ground up, as staff adopt it themselves without waiting for a board decision.
From a staff member's point of view, it makes complete sense. From an owner's point of view, it is risk that nobody signed off on. Closing that gap is exactly what this guide is for.
This guide gives you the foundations to use AI with confidence, protecting your business, your clients, and your team.
From Tom and Chris
“Done properly, AI hands your team hours back every week, takes on the work nobody enjoys, and frees you to focus on what actually grows the business.”
We talk to business owners about AI every week, and we hear the same two feelings, often in the same breath. Excitement about what it could do, and a quiet worry about what it might already be doing. That is exactly why we put this pack together.
Our starting point never changes. Foundations first. Get the governance, guidance, and security in place, then let your team loose on everything AI can do.
