Who delivers it

Collins Obasuyi, Founder & Principal Consultant

Collins works across product strategy, AI, delivery, quality and education, and facilitates from real product and delivery work rather than abstract theory. Sessions are built around your team's actual context: real decisions, real trade-offs and practical next steps rather than generic frameworks.

Customisation

Every private workshop can be adapted around your organisation, product maturity, audience and current challenges.

FAQ

Do I need to be technical to attend?

No. The session is designed for people who need to understand AI governance in practice, including product, delivery, risk, compliance, privacy, audit and founder audiences.

Is this legal advice?

No. This is practical governance, risk and compliance education. Organisations should still seek legal, data protection or regulatory advice for specific compliance decisions.

Is this the same as the full AI GRC Practitioner course?

No. This is a 2-hour taster session. The practitioner course goes deeper into risk assessment, controls, evidence, assurance and practical governance work across a longer programme.

Can this be delivered remotely?

Yes. Every workshop can be delivered remotely, in person, or as a mix, depending on what works for your team.

Can you tailor it to our organisation?

Yes. Every private workshop is adapted around your organisation, product maturity, audience and current challenges.

How many people can attend?

Group sizes typically range from 6 to 40 people, though this can flex depending on your needs.

What preparation is required?

Little to none. We may ask a few questions beforehand so examples and exercises reflect your actual context.

Do participants receive materials?

Yes. Every participant receives templates, a digital workbook and a written action plan afterwards.

Can this be delivered in the US?

Yes. Sessions can be delivered remotely to any timezone, and in-person delivery in the US can be arranged.
