The AI revolution is here, but most businesses are lagging behind. The AI Business Forum is where you stay up to date and implement AI alongside companies exactly like yours.

73% of small businesses say they would benefit from more resources to get AI right - Goldman Sachs, 2026
95% of generative AI pilots at companies are failing - MIT, 2025
$15.7trn AI could contribute to global GDP by 2035 - PwC, 2025

Progress on AI

Where You Are
What the Forum Gives You
Wasted BudgetUnsure where to invest, so either nothing gets spent or money goes on the wrong tools with nothing to show for it.
→
A Vetted ShortlistTools we've seen genuinely work, organised by use case. Spend with confidence, not guesswork.
Knowledge & Implementation GapMost teams don't have the internal expertise to roll out AI tools safely, effectively, or in a way that actually sticks.
→
Real Case StudiesPractitioners walking through exactly how they did it - so your team learns from people who've already solved it.
Learning AloneYou're figuring this out in isolation, relearning lessons that peers down the road already worked out the hard way.
→
Peer CommunityOperators at companies like yours, sharing openly between sessions. The right person is a message away.
02 - Inside the Forum

What You Get
From Day One

The founding cohort starts lean and high-value. Everything here is built to be worth turning up to from the very first month.

/ 01

The Roundtable

A monthly, peer-led session held online - topic-driven and practical, focused on what's actually working in real organisations.

/ 02

Practitioner Case Studies

A guest who's run a real implementation walks through it - what worked, what didn't, and what they'd do differently.

/ 03

The Vetted Shortlist

A hand-curated list of AI tools that actually work, organised by use case. Cuts straight through the vendor overwhelm.

/ 04

Starter Playbooks

Practical write-ups from every session - checklists, templates, and frameworks you can use the next morning.

/ 05

AI Readiness Assessment

A straight diagnostic of where your organisation actually stands.

/ 06

The Home Base

A members' channel and events calendar where the cohort connects between sessions.

03 - The Diagnostic

Actually Stand?
