AI for Commercial Teams
The useful question is not whether AI will change commercial work. It is which specific tasks in your week it can take on tomorrow, and which it should not touch.

Overview
This is training for people who buy things, manage contracts and run sourcing processes, not a general introduction to artificial intelligence. Sessions are hands-on and built around the documents and processes your team already works with.
It also covers the boundaries honestly: what these tools get wrong, what should never be pasted into them, and where a confident-sounding answer needs checking before it reaches a supplier or a board paper.
Brought in when
- The team is curious about AI but nobody has shown them how it applies to procurement work.
- People are already using these tools informally and there is no guidance on what is safe to put into them.
- Tender and contract documents take days to summarise and compare.
- You want the capability held internally rather than bought in each time.
What this covers
Three areas of work.
AI essentials for commercial teams
A practical introduction for people with no technical background: what these tools do well in sourcing, contract management and supplier work, what they do badly, and how to get a useful answer out of them. Hands-on throughout.
Custom use case workshops
Sessions built around your own documents and processes: comparing supplier responses, summarising tenders, drafting evaluation notes, working through contract terms. We work on repeatable use cases rather than one-off demonstrations, and cover what should and should not go into a third-party tool.
Train the AI champions
Developing a small group of internal champions who can run sessions, support colleagues and keep practice consistent as the tools change, so the capability stays in the organisation.
Where it comes up
Discuss AI training for your team.
Sessions are built around your documents and your processes, so the useful first question is what your team spends its week doing.
