Brass Tacks: An AI Workshop for SMEs

Brass Tacks: An AI Workshop for SMEs

A practical afternoon for Yorkshire SME owners who'd like AI to actually save them time. Each attendee picks one workflow from a small predefined set — flows designed, tested and refined for the kinds of repeatable tasks Yorkshire SMEs quietly lose hours to each week — and leaves with it in hand, written down, theirs to operate. No technology experience necessary.

What's in the room

• One whiteboard
• A small predefined set of ready-built AI workflows — each one picked because SMEs lose hours to the same task every week
• One workflow per attendee, chosen to suit their own business from the predefined set

Who it's for

• Directors signing off on technology and operations decisions in Yorkshire SMEs
• Mid- and senior management running teams, rotas, customer relationships or production lines
• Process owners whose day-to-day repeats and who recognise the gap between how work is currently done and how it could be done
• Entrepreneurs and founders running or scaling a small Yorkshire business
• Tech leads and internal digital champions who've been asked to "find an AI play" and want a consequence-free first read
• Owners and operators ranging 5-to-60 staff — the person who signs the cheques and writes the rota
• Anyone who has never used an AI tool and would still like to leave with a workflow that works
• You don't need a technology background, a smartphone habit, or a working vocabulary in AI to be useful in the room

What you'll leave with

• One ready-built AI workflow — chosen from the predefined set to match your business
• The confidence to use it: every workflow is walked through back to the room before anyone leaves
• A peer network of the other Yorkshire operators in the room
