The Evidence Base
Academic & Industry Research
We do not trade in hype. Our curriculum is built on the rigorous analysis of AI impact from Harvard, Wharton, BCG, and Microsoft.
This is the research that procurement teams and board members need to see.
75% of Knowledge Workers Use AI
The "Bring Your Own AI" trend is now a dominant security risk. Employees use personal accounts and unvetted tools to do company work, often pasting sensitive data into public models.

40% Higher Quality, 25% Faster
In pre-registered experiments with 758 BCG consultants, untrained staff using GPT-4 completed tasks 25% faster and produced 40% higher quality results compared to the control group.

The "Great Leveller"
AI closes the gap between your stars and your strugglers. The BCG study found that while top performers improved, consultants in the bottom half saw the biggest jump—a 43% performance increase.

The "Secret Cyborg" Phenomenon
Employees are hiding their AI use to avoid punishment. Mollick identifies that the most productive staff are often operating entirely outside governance to protect their advantage.

The Death of Apprenticeship
Juniors are outsourcing "grunt work" to AI. This destroys the traditional learning path where novices learn by doing. The result is a future skills vacuum at the senior level.

The Jagged Frontier
AI capability is not uniform. It performs at a superhuman level on some tasks and fails catastrophically on similar-looking ones. Without training, workers cannot distinguish between the two.

Why "Classroom" Training Fails
Passive learning does not work for AI. Research into experiential learning shows that simulation-based training improves knowledge retention by 75% and reduces training time by 95% compared to traditional lectures.

43 Minutes Per Day
This is not theoretical. In a live pilot across 90 NHS organisations, Microsoft Copilot saved staff an average of 43 minutes per day—time directly reinvested into patient care.

Move from Risk to ROI
Your staff are already using these tools. They are just doing it without your rules, your safety, or your knowledge.
Bring them inside the fence.
