How to use AI in business

Are you making the most of AI?

AI isn’t just the future of business. It’s already changing how successful businesses operate. From saving hours on everyday tasks to improving productivity, generating leads and unlocking new opportunities for growth, artificial intelligence has the potential to transform the way your business works.

But with so many AI tools, platforms and possibilities available, knowing where to begin, or what to do next, can feel overwhelming.

That’s where Element16 Media’s AI consultancy service comes in.

We help business owners, leadership teams and employees understand how to use AI in business, identify where it can make a genuine difference and develop the confidence and skills to put it into practice. Whether you’re completely new to AI or already experimenting with AI tools, our tailored AI consulting services and practical AI training for businesses are designed around you.

No unnecessary jargon. No generic, off-the-shelf training. Just practical AI knowledge from someone who uses it to run and grow a successful business.

AI for business growth

What could AI do for your business?

You don’t need to become an AI expert to benefit from artificial intelligence. You simply need to understand where it can help your business work better. Our AI consultancy focuses on three key areas.

AI tools for business growth

Grow your business and increase revenue

What if your business could generate more opportunities, improve its marketing and make better use of the resources you already have? AI can help you explore new ways to:

Improve sales and lead generation
Create more effective marketing content and campaigns
Identify opportunities for business development
Improve customer communication and engagement
Support research, planning and decision-making
Free up valuable time to focus on winning new business

AI for business growth isn’t about replacing your expertise. It’s about giving you more time and better tools to put that expertise to work.

AI automation for small businesses

Save time, reduce costs and improve efficiency

Think about how much time your business spends on repetitive administration, researching information, drafting documents, producing reports or managing everyday processes. Now imagine if some of those tasks could be completed in a fraction of the time. We help businesses identify opportunities to:

Automate repetitive and time-consuming tasks
Streamline everyday workflows
Reduce unnecessary administration
Improve the speed and consistency of routine work
Use AI tools to support business efficiency
Reduce avoidable operational costs

For many businesses, the biggest opportunity isn’t a complete technological overhaul. It’s making small, practical improvements that add up to significant time savings.

AI training for employees

Give your people the skills and confidence to use AI

The best AI tools in the world won’t deliver much value if your team doesn’t know how to use them effectively. Our AI training for employees, managers and business leaders helps people understand what AI can do, where it fits into their roles and how to use it confidently and responsibly.

The fundamentals of AI
Practical applications for real workplace tasks
Where AI fits into each person’s role
Using AI confidently and responsibly

The result? A better-informed team, improved productivity and a business that’s more prepared for the future.

Your AI business consultant

Meet your AI consultant: Ben Wiser

A new generation of business thinking. Real-world experience.

There’s a big difference between someone who teaches AI and someone who actively uses it to run a successful business.

Ben Wiser, founder and CEO of Element16 Media, leads our AI consultancy and brings practical business experience and a fresh, technology-first perspective to every consultation. As a Gen Z entrepreneur and founder of a successful business, Ben has grown up in a world where technology moves fast, innovation is constant and adapting to change is second nature.

More importantly, he puts that thinking into practice. Ben runs StandBased®, a successful business where agile technology and AI are part of everyday operations. He understands first-hand how the right tools, processes and working practices can help businesses operate more efficiently and create opportunities for growth.

That means his consultancy isn’t built around abstract theory or simply demonstrating the latest AI trends. It’s informed by the challenges, opportunities and decisions involved in actually running a business.

Ben’s approach as an AI strategy consultant is straightforward: understand what a business needs, identify where AI can genuinely add value and make the technology accessible to the people who will use it. Whether you’re a business owner who has never used an AI tool or a management team looking to improve company-wide productivity, Ben will help you separate the hype from the practical opportunities.

Practical experience. Fresh thinking. AI that works for your business.

AI training courses for businesses

AI training and consultancy built around your business

Your business is unique. Your AI training should be too.

One of the biggest problems with generic corporate AI training courses is that they often teach people about technology without explaining how to apply it to their actual jobs. At Element16 Media, we take a different approach.

Before any training begins, we take time to understand your business, your challenges, your current experience with AI and what you want to achieve. Whatever your starting point, we’ll work with you to identify the most useful approach.

Your leadership team

You might want your senior leadership team to understand the opportunities and risks associated with AI.

Your employees

You might need to train employees to use various AI tools more effectively.

Your processes

Or you might want to explore how AI automation could improve processes across your organisation.

Our AI business consulting services can explore

01 AI fundamentals Understanding artificial intelligence, what it can do and where it can help.
02 Choosing the right AI tools Lots of AI tools do similar things, and some do them far better than others. We help you choose the best AI tools for your business.
03 Effective prompt writing Getting more useful, accurate and relevant responses from AI tools.
04 AI productivity training Completing everyday tasks more efficiently.
05 AI automation for small businesses Identifying repetitive processes that could benefit from automation.
06 AI for marketing and sales Exploring opportunities for content creation, lead generation and business development.
07 AI strategy consulting Identifying priorities and creating a practical direction for AI adoption.
08 Responsible AI use Understanding confidentiality, GDPR, data protection, accuracy and the importance of human oversight.
09 AI adoption in the workplace Helping teams introduce new tools and ways of working with confidence.

Where appropriate, sessions can include hands-on demonstrations, practical exercises and examples based on your own business activities.

The aim isn’t simply to show your team what AI can do. It’s to help them use it productively in their own roles.

AI implementation for businesses

Four simple steps to smarter working

How our AI consultancy process works. We keep our approach clear, collaborative and focused on what your business actually needs.

Step 1
Contact

Tell us about your business and what you’d like to achieve.

Complete our enquiry form and provide as much information as possible about your organisation, your current use of AI and any challenges or opportunities you’d like to explore.
Don’t worry if you’re unsure what training you need. Helping you identify that is part of our job.
Step 2
Scope
£500

We identify where AI could deliver the greatest value.

Before recommending any training, we’ll work with you to understand how your business currently operates and where AI might make a meaningful difference.
This initial scoping stage can explore your team’s existing AI knowledge, current tools, workflows, business challenges and potential opportunities for improvement.
Together, we’ll establish your priorities, identify the most relevant areas for training and determine the likely time and resources required. This ensures you’re investing in learning that’s relevant to your business rather than paying for training you don’t need.

Initial consultancy and scoping fee: £500
Step 3
Training

Practical, tailored sessions delivered in a way that suits you.

Once we’ve agreed the scope, we’ll recommend a training programme based on your objectives. This could involve a single focused workshop, AI training for senior management, sessions for individual teams or a series of workshops covering more advanced applications.
Sessions can be structured to accommodate different levels of knowledge, roles and business requirements. Whether you’re learning the basics of everyday AI tools or exploring more advanced opportunities for AI implementation, the focus is always on practical knowledge your business can use.

Online video sessions £235 per hour

On-site training £295 per hour + mileage
Step 4
Review
Included

Making sure the training has delivered value.

Following the training, we’ll gather feedback from participants to understand what they’ve learned, how confident they feel and whether any areas would benefit from further attention.
We’ll also revisit the objectives established during scoping to help assess whether the training has achieved what we set out to do. Our aim is to get the training right the first time, providing your team with the confidence and knowledge to move forward.
And if new requirements emerge as your business develops, additional consultancy or training can be discussed.

AI adoption consultancy

More than AI training. A smarter way forward.

AI technology is evolving quickly, and the opportunities available to businesses are changing with it. Learning to write a good prompt is a useful starting point, but effective AI adoption goes further.

It means recognising where technology can improve the way your business operates, understanding its limitations and giving your people the skills to make informed decisions.

Through our tailored consultancy approach, we can help you explore the next steps in your AI journey, from identifying potential automation opportunities to considering how AI could fit into your longer-term business strategy, and what AI business transformation could realistically look like for you.

You don’t need to adopt every new AI tool.

You need to identify the right opportunities for your business, and know how to act on them.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Do I need any previous experience with AI?

Not at all. Our AI workshops for businesses can be designed for complete beginners, existing AI users or teams with mixed levels of experience. We’ll establish your starting point during the scoping stage.

Is AI consultancy suitable for a small business?

Absolutely. Our AI consultancy for small businesses and SMEs focuses on practical, achievable improvements. You don’t need a large budget, an IT department or an extensive technology strategy to start benefiting from AI. For small business owners, AI should save time, not add complexity.

How do I implement AI in a small business?

Start with where you are, not with the latest tool. Our scoping stage looks at your workflows, your team’s experience and your goals to find the few places AI will help most. Tailored training then gives your people the skills to use it, and a review checks it has worked.

What if I don’t know which AI tools my business needs?

That’s exactly why we begin with scoping. Rather than recommending software or training immediately, we’ll explore your existing workflows, challenges and goals to identify where AI could be most useful. Lots of AI tools do similar things, but some do them far better than others, so we’ll help you choose the best AI tools for your business.

Can you train our entire team?

We can explore training for business owners, senior leaders, managers, employees or specific departments. The most appropriate session format and group arrangements will be agreed during the scoping process.

Can the training be delivered online?

Yes. Online AI training is available via video meetings at £235 per hour. This allows businesses throughout the UK to access our consultancy service without travelling.

Do you offer AI training at our premises?

Yes. On-site AI training is available at £295 per hour, plus return mileage from our Midlands headquarters. Travel requirements and any additional expenses will be discussed before booking.

Where are you based? Do you work across the UK?

Our headquarters are in the Midlands, and we work as an AI consultant for UK businesses of every size. If you’re looking for an AI consultant near you, we can deliver on-site training at your premises, and online sessions mean we work with businesses anywhere in the UK.

Will we need paid AI subscriptions or specialist software?

Not necessarily. The tools needed will depend on the subjects covered and the practical exercises agreed during scoping. We’ll identify any software or account requirements in advance.

Will employees learn how to use AI safely?

Responsible AI use is an important part of workplace adoption. Depending on your needs, training can address confidentiality, GDPR considerations, data handling, checking AI-generated information and knowing when human judgement is essential.

Can AI really save my business money?

AI can help reduce time spent on repetitive tasks, streamline processes and improve efficiency. The potential savings will depend on your existing workflows, the tools selected and how effectively they’re used. Our consultancy is designed to help you identify realistic opportunities rather than promise results that can’t be guaranteed.

What happens after the training?

We’ll gather feedback and review the training against the objectives agreed during scoping. If additional learning or further AI implementation support would be beneficial, we can discuss suitable next steps.
