OUR APPROACH
A method, not a menu.
Training fails in predictable ways: the wrong people in the room, generic content, no follow-through. The ASkills method exists to close each of those gaps in turn.
Diagnose → Match → Customize → Deliver → Reinforce
STAGE 01
Diagnose
Before we propose anything, we find out where your team's week actually goes.
What happens
- Structured interviews with a sample of the team and their managers
- A look at the real artefacts: the reports, briefs, decks and trackers
- Identification of the tasks where AI removes genuine hours, and the ones where it will not
- Agreement with you on what success looks like in writing
What you get
A short diagnostic read-out: the three to five workflows worth rebuilding first, and the objectives the programme will be measured against.
STAGE 02
Match
The trainer in front of your team decides how the day goes. We treat that as the critical decision, not an administrative one.
What happens
- Trainers are drawn from our vetted network of practising technologists
- Vetting covers technical depth, teaching ability and the ability to hold a room of sceptics
- We match on industry, function and the maturity level we found in the diagnostic
- The trainer is briefed on your context before they arrive
What you get
A named trainer whose background you can see, matched to the room rather than assigned by availability.
STAGE 03
Customize
A stock syllabus is the fastest way to lose a commercial team. So we build the material from your work.
What happens
- Exercises written around your workflows and your documents
- Tool choices aligned to what your company already licenses
- Prompts and examples reviewed against your data and confidentiality policy
- Content pitched at the level the diagnostic found, not the level the brochure assumes
What you get
A curriculum that reads like your business, using your language, your templates and your constraints.
STAGE 04
Deliver
In person, hands-on, in small cohorts. People work on their own tasks while someone experienced watches and corrects.
What happens
- Short input, then long stretches of supervised practice
- Everyone works on live tasks they are personally responsible for
- Failure modes are demonstrated deliberately, so nobody trusts the output blindly
- Managers join for the sections that concern how work gets reviewed
What you get
Work completed during the session that the team can use immediately, plus a prompt library built in the room.
STAGE 05
Reinforce
The gap between a good workshop and a changed habit is the fortnight afterwards. That is the part most training skips.
What happens
- A follow-up clinic to work through what broke when people tried it alone
- Manager check-ins so the new way of working is expected, not optional
- The prompt library is extended with what the team built after the session
- A written read-out for L&D covering coverage, capability and remaining gaps
What you get
Evidence of what changed, and a team that is still using the tools a month later.
Three things we are opinionated about
In person, deliberately
Adults adopt a tool when they use it on something that matters to them, with an expert watching. That is very hard to reproduce asynchronously.
Practitioners, not lecturers
Our trainers work in technology. They can answer the awkward question in the third row, and they have seen these tools break.
Commercial teams first
We came out of sales and marketing. We start where we can be specific, and expand from there.

The first conversation costs you half an hour and tells you whether there is a programme here worth running.
