A full-day working session to draft your organisation's AI use policy. EU AI Act, UK AI principles, ICO guidance, ISO/IEC 42001 — translated into something your team will actually follow.
Your team is already using AI. Some of them are pasting customer data into ChatGPT. Some are running automated decisions through Copilot without an audit trail. None of them are doing it deliberately wrong — they just don't have a policy to follow, because no one has written one. The first time the ICO or a customer asks, the answer 'we don't have a policy' is not the answer you want.
This workshop is built on the major UK and EU AI governance frameworks — the EU AI Act (in force for high-risk use from August 2026), the UK AI principles (Bletchley Declaration), ICO guidance on AI and data protection, and ISO/IEC 42001 (the AI management system standard published in 2024). We map them into a single, usable policy template.
The day is built around drafting your policy. Delegates work the EU AI Act risk classifications against their actual AI use cases in the morning, draft policy sections in the afternoon, peer-review each other's drafts, and leave with a policy v1 ready for board sign-off — not a workbook.
Built on EU AI Act + UK AI principles + ISO/IEC 42001Every TESS workshop is designed backwards from the change you want to see in your team's behaviour. Here's what coaching graduates do differently on the Monday after.
EU AI Act, UK principles, ICO, ISO 42001, NIST AI RMF — a one-page map of which apply and where.
EU AI Act risk classes — high, limited, minimal, prohibited — applied to your actual use cases.
What your team can do, what they can't, what they need to ask permission for — in plain language.
Training data, customer data, PII, retention — aligned to UK GDPR and ICO guidance on AI.
AI champion, approval gate, escalation path, incident response — a workflow your team will actually follow.
What to do when AI gets it wrong — pre-mortem, escalation, customer comms, ICO notification.
Full-day format shown. The half-day version focuses on the morning blocks with a condensed live round at the end.
Genuinely the first time I've left a coaching course able to do it on Monday. The live rounds with feedback made the difference. My 1:1s have completely changed shape.
Pricing depends on group size, delivery mode (live online vs in-person) and whether we tailor the curriculum to your sector. Closed cohorts start from a few hundred pounds per delegate for half-day workshops and scale from there. Book a 15-minute discovery call and we'll give you a concrete figure within 24 hours.
AI Policy Drafting is a full-day workshop by design — the drafting work in the afternoon is what produces the policy v1. A half-day intro covering the framework map and risk classification only is available when you want a leadership team brief before commissioning the drafting work.
We're flexible. Most cohorts run with 10–20 delegates, but we regularly deliver for smaller groups of 2–4, particularly for senior teams or specialised sectors. The live coaching rounds work better with even numbers, but we'll make any group work.
Live online is our default and works well for coaching — breakout rooms make the practice rounds work cleanly. We also deliver in-person at your site or a venue you choose, particularly when the cohort already work in the same room.
Typical lead time from a first call to delivery is 2–4 weeks. We can move faster if you need to — the limiting factor is usually your calendar, not ours.
Yes. The frameworks (GROW, TGROW, observable behaviours) stay the same; the examples, exercises and case studies are tailored to your sector, tools and your team's real work. We discuss this on the discovery call and rebrief the practitioner before delivery.
Yes. Every delegate receives a CPD-certified digital certificate on completion. The certificate references the hours of learning and the frameworks covered, so it can be added directly to a CPD record for any chartered or professional body.
We allocate a TESS coaching practitioner based on your sector. All practitioners are independently qualified coaches (ILM Level 5 or equivalent) with active corporate coaching practices. We'll send the named practitioner's bio after the discovery call.
Two ways in. Book a 30-minute discovery call below, or fill out the form and we'll reply within 24 hours with cohort options for your group.
