Your people are using it to draft, summarise and tidy up their work. Some of that is good work done faster. Some of it is your information sitting in a tool nobody approved. And the people who could set the rules are the ones least sure what the rules should be.
Somewhere else entirely? Keep reading. Nothing on this page needs you to be technical, and if you can describe how your business works, you know enough to start.
01 / The problem
In most businesses there is a group who have got on with it. They have picked their tools, worked out what helps and in some cases written a first draft of the do’s and don’ts.
Then it reaches the people who would have to approve it, and it stops. Not because anyone objects, but because signing off rules for something you have not used yourself is an uncomfortable thing to do. So the draft sits there, nothing gets approved and everybody carries on with whatever they were using anyway.
Meanwhile adoption is uneven. Marketing and IT are usually away, everyone else is waiting to be told what is allowed and nobody says so out loud because nobody wants to admit they are behind.
Nobody wants to sign off rules for something they have never used.
02 / What good looks like
This is the whole picture, and there is nothing hidden behind an email address. Work out which of the eight you have already done and which you have not, and you will know more about where you stand than most businesses do.
Most businesses can do several of these themselves. The ones that stall usually stall in the same place: everyone agrees the policy matters, nobody has the confidence to write it and the quick wins never get picked because no one is sure which are safe.
03 / Where to start
Six routes, and they are not a ladder you climb. Pick the one that matches the problem you actually have.
Thirty days. Clear AI rules your people follow and working workflows built into quoting, documentation and production paperwork. Implemented inside your business rather than presented to it.
For manufacturing and engineering →The same thirty days, rebuilt around candidate data. Rules, consultant workflows, training and a roadmap for agencies handling CVs, salaries and right-to-work documents.
For recruitment agencies →One week. We map how AI is actually being used across your business, which tools, what data, where the risks sit and where the fastest wins are. You get a plain-English report and a baseline Trust Score. Book a Sprint within 60 days and the full £2,500 comes off the price.
Book the Review →Six one-hour sessions for boards and decision makers. Understand what AI actually does, decide the governance you need and finish with a prioritised list of projects worth running. An hour at a time, because nobody is giving you a half day.
The Exec Board programme →We come to your premises, so the only people travelling are us. Hands-on sessions built around your own products, processes and paperwork. Priced around 25 people and run for larger audiences when that is what the job needs.
In-person sessions and prices →The same hands-on approach run as a webinar, for teams spread across sites or shifts. Everybody gets into the same session on the same day without anybody leaving their desk.
Online sessions and prices →Prices are subject to change.
04 / Who we work with
Manufacturing, engineering, construction, textiles, education and recruitment. All of them had people using AI before anybody had agreed how.
Over 500 people trained across these businesses and others. Some wanted their whole team moving at once. Some had a board that could not sign off what its own people had drafted. Some had discovered what was being pasted into free tools and wanted it stopped.
The starting points differ. The situation rarely does.
Powerhouse Digital is led by Tim Bennett. We built and launched the BOB-E.ai agent platform in 2023, a year before we taught anybody else, which is the short version of why we are practitioners rather than consultants. A consultant tells you what the research says. A practitioner tells you what broke when they tried it.
“We were aware that AI was being used in the business, but we didn’t have any formal policy on usage around that.”
05 / Getting better answers
The gap between a useless answer and a genuinely good one is almost never the tool. It is what you asked for. CRAFT® is the method we teach in every session, five parts, easy to remember, and it turns lucky one-offs into results your team can repeat.
There is no rule saying you have to work through it in order. Plenty of people get their best results by settling the Target Outcome first and filling in the rest around it. Start wherever you are clearest and use the five parts as a checklist rather than a script.
06 / Also from Powerhouse
Multilingual AI agents for B2B. Lead generation and knowledge retrieval, running around the clock. Built in-house and launched in 2023.
AI Agents →Preventative maintenance for manufacturing and warehousing. Flags problems before they stop production.
IoT Solutions →In-person events and talks for business audiences who want to see what is actually working rather than what is being announced.
See events →What we are learning, what we are building and what we have decided is not worth your time.

You already know AI needs to happen in your business. What you probably do not have in house is somebody who has already done it, which is why most of this stalls somewhere between the enthusiasm and the results. Thirty minutes on the phone. Tell us what you are trying to roll out and we will tell you how to do it without the expensive detours.
No pitch deck. If the honest answer is that you need nothing from us, we will say so.
