Beyond prompting. Custom GPTs, multi-step workflows, agentic AI patterns and the governance layer that satisfies regulated environments. The senior follow-up to AI Prompting Accelerator.
Most teams have done a prompting workshop, paid for ChatGPT or Copilot licences, and stalled at the same plateau: individuals using AI as a writing assistant, no shared workflows, no compounding gains, no audit trail when the regulator asks. The next step isn't more prompting training. It's productionising the patterns your best users have already figured out.
This workshop is built on the current generation of agentic patterns — Custom GPTs (OpenAI), Copilot Studio agents (Microsoft), Claude's tool-use patterns (Anthropic) — combined with the UK and EU regulatory frameworks (UK AI principles, EU AI Act, FCA Consumer Duty for financial services). It's the workshop for teams who've already done the basics and want the production-grade follow-up.
The day is built around your team's real candidate workflows. Delegates bring three workflows that should be automated. We work through the suitability framework in the morning, build one fully-working multi-step workflow in the afternoon (Copilot Studio or Custom GPT), and leave with a deployment plan including the audit trail your CISO/compliance team can sign off.
Built on Custom GPTs + Copilot Studio + UK AI PrinciplesEvery TESS workshop is designed backwards from the change you want to see in your team's behaviour. Here's what coaching graduates do differently on the Monday after.
Stop trying to automate everything. A 5-factor framework that picks the workflows where AI gains compound.
Build single-purpose agents that your team will actually use — not generic chatbots that get abandoned.
Multi-step patterns — sequential, parallel, supervisor/worker — applied to your real candidate workflows.
API connections to SharePoint, HubSpot, QuickBooks, Salesforce — authentication, rate limits, idempotency, rollback.
Audit-trail templates aligned to UK GDPR, the EU AI Act and (where relevant) FCA Consumer Duty.
Champions, training cadence, success metrics — the playbook for landing AI past the early-adopter ceiling.
Full-day format shown. The half-day version focuses on the morning blocks with a condensed live round at the end.
Genuinely the first time I've left a coaching course able to do it on Monday. The live rounds with feedback made the difference. My 1:1s have completely changed shape.
Pricing depends on group size, delivery mode (live online vs in-person) and whether we tailor the curriculum to your sector. Closed cohorts start from a few hundred pounds per delegate for half-day workshops and scale from there. Book a 15-minute discovery call and we'll give you a concrete figure within 24 hours.
Advanced AI Accelerator is a full-day workshop by design — the afternoon build challenge is what creates the production-ready output. The 2-day Build AI Agents deep dive is the right next step if you want multi-agent orchestration and full integration design.
We're flexible. Most cohorts run with 10–20 delegates, but we regularly deliver for smaller groups of 2–4, particularly for senior teams or specialised sectors. The live coaching rounds work better with even numbers, but we'll make any group work.
Live online is our default and works well for coaching — breakout rooms make the practice rounds work cleanly. We also deliver in-person at your site or a venue you choose, particularly when the cohort already work in the same room.
Typical lead time from a first call to delivery is 2–4 weeks. We can move faster if you need to — the limiting factor is usually your calendar, not ours.
Yes. The frameworks (GROW, TGROW, observable behaviours) stay the same; the examples, exercises and case studies are tailored to your sector, tools and your team's real work. We discuss this on the discovery call and rebrief the practitioner before delivery.
Yes. Every delegate receives a CPD-certified digital certificate on completion. The certificate references the hours of learning and the frameworks covered, so it can be added directly to a CPD record for any chartered or professional body.
We allocate a TESS coaching practitioner based on your sector. All practitioners are independently qualified coaches (ILM Level 5 or equivalent) with active corporate coaching practices. We'll send the named practitioner's bio after the discovery call.
Two ways in. Book a 30-minute discovery call below, or fill out the form and we'll reply within 24 hours with cohort options for your group.
