For founders, CEOs and business owners
You are leading a business through one of the biggest shifts in a generation. You just need the system.
Every week, AI moves further into the centre of how businesses compete. You know it. Your team knows it. And you are the person in the room who is supposed to have the answer.
The problem is not capability. It is not effort. It is that nobody has shown you what this actually looks like inside a business like yours, with a team like yours, on a Monday morning when things need to get done. That is the gap. Not knowledge. Setup.
AI collapses time. A week collapses to an afternoon. An afternoon collapses to twenty minutes. Then a system runs it while you sleep.

The week you keep having
It is Tuesday morning. You already know how the week ends.
It is Tuesday morning. The week is already full before it starts. There is a proposal to finish, a client who needs a response, a decision you have been circling for a fortnight. AI is on the list. It has been on the list for three months.
Things do not calm down.
Meanwhile your team are watching. Some of them are using AI already, quietly, in ways you have not reviewed. Some of them are hoping the whole conversation goes away. Some of them have questions you cannot answer yet: what is the policy, what is allowed, what does this mean for their job.
You are walking back into that room every week. And the gap between what you know and what they are expecting you to know has been growing.
That is not a leadership problem. That is a setup problem. The two days fix the setup.
The honest bit
Most business owners are using AI like a slot machine.
Something in, something out, hope for the best. And the output they get back sounds like every other business owner who typed something similar last Tuesday. Generic. Flat. Unmistakably AI.
So they do what makes sense: they criticise the tool.
But that is not the tool's problem. That is the input. Vague in, vague out. No context, no voice, no standard to aim for. The model does not know your business, your clients, or what good looks like for you. It makes something up that sounds plausible, because that is exactly what it was asked to do.
If you hired a brilliant graduate and handed them a desk with no brief, no context about the business, no understanding of what good looks like, you would get the same result. You would also conclude they were not that useful. But that says nothing about what they are capable of with proper direction. AI is the same. The tool is not the gap. The system is.
What separates the owners pulling ahead is not a better tool. It is six months of accumulated work. A voice profile built through iteration. A document library trained on their best work. Templates that exist because someone spent months testing what world-class actually looks like: what structure converts, what language builds trust, what a finished output should feel like versus a first draft.
You are not buying a course about AI. You are buying the months of work it took to figure out what to build, and the confidence to walk back into your team and lead it.
You do not need to understand how the models work. You need to know what to build and why. That is what the two days are for.
What changes
What actually changes.
Proposals go first, because the maths is immediate.
Proposals sent within 24 hours win 25% more often. That is drawn from Better Proposals' analysis of hundreds of thousands of real proposals. Deals where questions are answered within four hours have a 35% higher close rate. That is Cobl and Proposify research, not theory.
Most owners know this. They still take three days. Because writing a good proposal takes hours. After the workshop, it takes twenty minutes. Not a passable draft. A proposal a good agency would charge thousands to write. In your voice. Built on months of research into what makes a B2B proposal actually win.
The templates are not a shortcut found in an afternoon. They are the product of months of testing, failure, and iteration. Figuring out what world-class looks like. What structure converts. The accumulated expertise is what you are buying. Execution takes twenty minutes. Getting to knowing what to execute took considerably longer.
It does not sleep. It does not get tired. It does not take a holiday. It does not ask for a pay rise.
What we do
Three categories of leverage. Not ten tools.
Most owners are using AI for one thing: compression. Faster emails, faster summaries, faster first drafts. That is the foothill. It earns you the time to climb the next two, and most people stop there.
The two days are about all three.
Compression
Foothill
A founder finishes Sunday lunch. The Monday board pack still needs writing. She opens the model that already knows the business, hands it the numbers, and twenty minutes later the narrative is back, in her voice. The kids are still at the table. Done well, then forgotten.
Thinking partner
Cliff
It is half past eleven. An owner is in the kitchen with a glass of water and a client situation he does not know how to handle. He talks it through, out loud, with a voice partner trained on Theory of Constraints, 80/20, First Principles and the frameworks every owner has heard of but never had time to apply properly. It does not flatter. It asks the question his advisor would, if his advisor were standing next to him. The decision lands before bed instead of festering until Friday.
Operating leverage
Summit
Tuesday, six in the morning. The owner is asleep. A small private system has already read the seven enquiries that came in overnight, qualified them against her actual criteria, and drafted the replies in her voice. Two went out at 9pm last night because the senders were in Australia. One is sitting in the awkward pile for her to look at over coffee. The job got done.
Two days with Simon
All three, set up and working before you leave.
Your consultant
Simon Gower
Simon runs a portfolio of B2B training businesses. Over the last two years he has rebuilt the systems and processes inside them around AI: sales, marketing, content, onboarding, reporting, the lot. A piece of research that used to take half a day now takes twenty minutes and runs while he is in a client meeting. He is not a technologist who learned business. He is an operator who learned what AI actually does when it is built properly into the work. He runs every AI Deep Dive himself. The work he teaches is the work he has already done.

The team problem
The system only holds if someone owns it.
41% of millennial and Gen Z employees admit to quietly sabotaging their company's AI strategy when they do not trust the policy. That is not speculation. That is from Writer's 2025 research. 64% of workers are actively job-hugging, taking deliberate steps to protect their role from AI, according to the ManpowerGroup Global Talent Barometer 2026.
Your team is not going to tell you this directly. They are going to miss deadlines on the tools you rolled out. They are going to default back to old processes. They are going to find reasons why the new approach does not quite work for their specific role.
This is solvable. But only with the right policy, the right framing, and the right rollout sequence.
You leave knowing what to say to the employee who asks "is this going to replace me?" You leave knowing which two people in your team will own this after you walk out of the room. You leave able to lead this. Not just use it yourself.
The cost of doing nothing
The cost of doing nothing is not zero.
Take a team of ten. Five hours a week each to work AI could handle. That is 50 hours a week. At £40 an hour, that is £104,000 a year. Not in new costs. In existing cost, producing nothing.
Now the proposals. Twenty a year at a 40% win rate: 8 contracts. Add the 25% uplift from sending within 24 hours: 10 contracts. At a £10,000 average contract value, that is £20,000 in additional revenue. From the same conversations. The same work. Sent faster.
It is this, compounding, every year.
What you leave with
Not slides. Deliverables. Two or three, chosen for your business.
A document library
Proposals, case studies, client reports. Each template the product of months of testing, not minutes of prompting. These exist because someone already did the work of figuring out what good looks like.
A voice profile
Everything the system produces sounds like you wrote it, on a good day, with more time than you usually have. It has read your best work. It knows how you think.
An AI policy
One that meets Article 4 of the EU AI Act. In force since February 2025. Penalties begin August 2026: up to €15 million or 3% of global annual turnover. Most business owners with EU exposure do not have one. You leave with one. Compliant. Done.
A 90-day team rollout plan
Including the two people identified who will own this after you leave the room. A sequenced plan, not a vague intention.
A Claude Project with all of it installed
Not notes to implement later. The thing itself. Working. Monday morning.
An industry-defining white paper or lead magnet
A research paper or lead magnet that positions you as the authority in your space. Built on your expertise and your point of view. The kind of thing that gets shared, cited, and remembered.
A marketing department that runs
Blog posts, emails, landing pages, campaigns. Produced from a brief in minutes. Built on your voice and your audience from day one.
A social and LinkedIn content engine
A month of content produced in an afternoon. Posts, threads, carousels. Consistent because it knows what you stand for.
Custom automations for the repetitive work
The processes that happen the same way every time, handled without you. Identified, built, and running before you leave.
The owners who are pulling away are not using more tools.
They are using AI differently. They built the system. They led their team through it. Now it runs.
Two days. Your system built. Your team ready. Pick your format.
