AI BUsiness workshops to build employee capability.
Organizations are not behind. They are fragmented.
Some employees are using AI daily. Others are hesitant. Leaders are unsure what "good" looks like.
This is AI experimentation without coordination.
Tools have been deployed. Capability has not been built. Our AI Kickstarter Workshops help businesses provide their teams with training to become the leaders in AI.
What teams accomplish in this 90 minute workshop.
1. Level Setting:
Where AI has evolved and why teams experience it differently.
2. Mindset Reset
Reframing AI as capability, not novelty.
3. Skill Activation
Applied use-case identification using real workflows.
4. Tool Alignment
Clarifying what your enterprise AI solution is for and how it should be used.
5. Clear Next Steps
Defined priorities and leadership recommendations.
AI Adoption: Tools vs Capability
Most organizations think they are adopting AI. In reality, they are adopting tools. Your teams need CAPABILITY ADOPTION.

90-Minute Reset for Teams Stuck in AI Adoption.
ARE WE A MATCH? WATCH THE VIDEO.
My approach to utilizing AI tools has changed since taking this program. Before I was using AI tools without putting any thought behind it. Now I’m a lot more specific and a lot more intentional. I’m now using AI in a constructive and productive way.
Christa made AI feel a lot more practical for our team. She helped us cut through the noise and focus on the problems and opportunities we’re solving for first before selecting the various AI tools available. The workshop was a really useful level-set that unlocked some of the team while challenging others. Above all, she got us all more comfortable for solving problems in our day-to-day work.
Working with Christa Hill from Tacit Edge for our WWTA AGM was an absolute highlight. What truly set her apart was the effort she put in beforehand; she took the time to deeply understand the truss industry, ensuring her insights were perfectly tailored to our specific challenges. Christa has a rare gift for demystifying AI, breaking down complex technical concepts into actionable steps that resonate with our specific audience through examples. She is an engaging, sharp, and forward-thinking speaker who brought incredible energy to the event—I couldn't recommend her more highly for any organization looking to navigate the future of technology.
My priority is to get as much money in the hands of artists to be as creative as possible. So if I am using AI tools in a way that contradicts that in any way, that would never be okay. So finding a way to be clear in our organization on how we use AI tools, how we empower others to use the tools and to step into those conversations in a way that’s open, curious and humble.
"Finding new value in what you thought was your “IP,” Avnish turned his knowledge base into a custom GPT for the Not For Profit Sector."
“This education helped us not to waste valuable resources and time. "What I’m seeing emerge, which is really good from a leader perspective and ultimately for our corporate culture, is the design thinking mindset at the core of what Tacit Edge teaches, I’m starting to see it happen in our company."
"The program keeps you grounded in business value. I’m no longer stuck at the starting line. The tools and frameworks I learned have eliminated that hesitation, our team can move faster than ever.”
“This isn’t about getting excited over shiny new tools. It’s about asking: what problem are we solving? Why are we building this? The program keeps you grounded in business value. I’m no longer stuck at the starting line. The tools and frameworks I learned have eliminated that hesitation, and I can move faster than ever.“
Hands-On AI Workshops to Build Real Team Capability
Move beyond theory with training that helps your team implement AI into real tasks, projects, and decision-making.
Progressive WOrkshop Levels
The progressive series for teams has four levels, starting with Level 0. It’s designed for teams new to AI or stuck in stalled adoption, helping them reset and regain momentum. Teams who’ve already completed Level 0 move directly to Level 1.
Level 0: AI Kickstarter
Whether you are starting fresh or your AI ambitions have stalled, this is where
you get reorganized and reinvigorated. Participants use AI within the first 20 minutes.
We start with the technology landscape, move into natural language interaction, and close with three real tasks completed before the session ends.
No extended discussions about feelings toward AI. Confidence comes from doing, not discussing.
Level 1: AI Mindset
The shift. This is where the real change happens.
Participants revisit their problems at a deeper level, learn the iterative mindset, and perform Futurespective: a three-layer activity that moves from wild card wishes to a designed future to the gap.
This creates the Build Board, the persistent artifact that carries through every remaining session.
For leaders, this level includes the What's In It For Me? conversation and the Business Context Hive, where leaders design the information architecture that makes everyone else's AI smarter.
Level 2: AI Skill Set
The messy reality. The honeymoon is over. This is where we deal with what went wrong, what felt hard, and what needs to be different.
Participants evaluate their AI outputs critically, work with imperfect data and undocumented processes, build accountability frameworks, and establish a weekly maintenance rhythm.
The Build Board gets its first real update. AI cannot automate what is not standardized, and this is the session where teams face that reality.
Level 3: AI Tool Set
The connection. From individual workflows to cross-team capability.
Participants experiment with tools beyond their primary platform, build the proficiency to evaluate which tool fits which task, and get introduced to agentic AI.
The most complex build of the series happens here: connecting work across teams, building shared visibility, and establishing the reporting and governance layer. The series ends with commitment, not completion.
