Akoora

AI tools your team will actually use.

Most AI training tells staff what AI is. Akoora’s programs teach them how to use it — practically, in their daily work, starting from where they actually are.

Training works best when it’s connected to a broader AI strategy. See how our services fit together →

The training happened. Nothing changed.

It’s a pattern most organisations recognise. Leadership attends a half-day AI workshop. The slides are good. People leave with a clearer understanding of what AI can do — and then return to working exactly as they did before.

The problem isn’t the training. It’s the gap between awareness and application.

Awareness training tells people that AI exists. Application training shows people how to use specific tools, in their specific workflows, to do their specific jobs better. Most organisations are only getting the first one.

What Akoora’s training programs cover

We design training programs around your tools, your team, and how your business actually works. There is no generic slide deck applied to every client.

Executive and leadership workshops

Leaders need to understand AI well enough to make decisions, set direction, and have credible conversations with their teams and boards. Focused on strategic understanding and governance — not technical implementation.

Management enablement

Managers are the lever. We run sessions specifically for managers that focus on how to support adoption, spot AI opportunities in their team’s work, and handle the concerns their people will raise.

Frontline and role-specific training

The people who will use the tools day-to-day need practical, hands-on training tailored to the tools and tasks they’ll apply — so staff leave knowing exactly what to do differently on Monday morning.

Adoption follow-up

Training is the beginning, not the end. We build in structured follow-up to check what’s being used, address what isn’t working, and reinforce the behaviours that are sticking.

How the training engagement works

1

Training needs assessment

Before we design anything, we understand your team — their current AI awareness, the tools they’ll be trained on, and the concerns they’re likely to bring.

2

Program design

We build a training program specific to your organisation — session formats, content, sequencing across teams and levels, and the metrics we’ll use to track adoption.

3

Delivery

We deliver training in the format that works for your team — workshops, small group sessions, or one-on-one coaching. Sessions are practical and tool-specific, not theoretical.

4

Adoption tracking and follow-up

We track adoption in the weeks after training — measuring what’s being used, identifying gaps, and running follow-up sessions where behaviour isn’t changing.

Who this engagement is for

HR and L&D leaders

who are responsible for AI capability development across the organisation and need a structured program — not a one-off workshop.

COOs and operations leaders

who have invested in AI tools and automations and need their teams to actually use them.

CEOs

who have set an AI direction and need the organisation to move with them — and recognise that training is the critical path.

Businesses that have already built automations or implemented AI tools

and are finding that adoption is lower than expected.

If you’re still working out which tools to adopt or what your AI direction is, the AI Readiness Audit or AI Strategy & Roadmap is the better starting point. Training without direction produces limited results.

What you receive

  • A training needs assessment specific to your team and tools
  • A structured training program across relevant levels — leadership, management, and frontline
  • Delivered sessions in the format that fits your organisation
  • Role-specific, practical content — not generic AI awareness
  • Adoption tracking and follow-up for four weeks post-training
  • An adoption report at the end of the engagement

Frequently asked questions

Can you train our team on specific tools we’ve already chosen?+

Yes. If you have tools in place — whether Microsoft Copilot, specific AI platforms, or automations we’ve built — we design training around them. We don’t train on generic AI tools your team won’t use.

How do you handle staff who are resistant to AI?+

Resistance usually comes from one of three places: fear of job loss, a belief that their current approach works fine, or past experience with change initiatives that didn’t stick. We design for all three.

Do you offer online or remote training?+

Yes. Sessions can be delivered in-person, online, or in a hybrid format. For practical, tool-specific training, in-person or live online tends to produce better adoption outcomes than self-paced e-learning.

How many people can be trained at once?+

Group sessions typically work best with 8 to 20 people for practical training, and up to 50 for awareness workshops. For larger organisations, we run multiple sessions across teams.

How long does a training program run?+

A focused program for a specific team can run over two to three weeks. A broader organisational program typically runs one to three months. We scope this with you before committing to a timeline.

What if adoption is still low after training?+

That’s what the follow-up period is for. We track adoption, identify where it’s not happening, and run additional sessions to address specific blockers. If tools or workflows need adjusting, we’ll tell you.
