AI Training for Business Teams: Copilot & Claude

Your company bought the AI tools. The licenses are active. And usage is flat.

You’re in good company: as of 2026, 58% of small and mid-sized businesses say they use generative AI (US Chamber), but Census Bureau data puts the share actually using AI to produce goods or services at roughly 9%. That gap between saying and doing is where your subscription spend is sitting right now. Training is how you close it.

What AI Training Actually Delivers

This isn’t feature tours. It’s your team using AI on their real work, during the session, and leaving with finished work and new habits.

Marketing trains on your campaigns. Finance trains on your spreadsheets. Sales trains on your prospects and proposals. When peer-reviewed research measured AI assistance on real support teams, productivity rose 15%, with the biggest gains for less-experienced staff (Brynjolfsson et al., QJE 2025). The lift is real, but it only shows up when people know how to use the tools on their own tasks.

Two Training Tracks

Track 1: Microsoft Copilot

For teams on Microsoft 365 whose Copilot licenses are outrunning their Copilot usage. The full program is covered on the Microsoft Copilot training page: role-specific hands-on workshops, a readiness assessment and strategy, executive briefings, and a Copilot Champions program that keeps adoption climbing after I leave. Teams building agents and automations can go deeper with Copilot Studio training.

Track 2: Claude and AI Agents

For teams that want to work with Claude, and for the growing number that want AI agents doing real work. This track covers prompting that holds up on business tasks, building repeatable AI workflows your team owns, working with Claude Code and Claude Cowork for technical and operations teams, and the judgment calls: what to delegate to an agent, what to keep human, and how to check the work. If your team is on ChatGPT instead, the ChatGPT training program covers the same ground for that stack.

Training Formats

• In-person workshops. I come to your office. Teams learn better together, and I adapt in real time to the questions in the room.
• Remote sessions. Live and interactive over Zoom or Teams. Works well for distributed teams.
• Hybrid programs. In-person kickoff, remote follow-ups, virtual office hours. Best for multi-location companies and longer programs.

Pricing

Single department: $3,500–$5,000 per session. A 2-to-3-hour interactive workshop, up to 25 participants, role-specific content, custom materials, 30-day follow-up support.

Multi-department program: $12,000–$18,000. Training for 3 to 5 departments, customized content per team, executive briefing, champion identification and training, 60-day support.

Organization-wide rollout: $25,000–$50,000+. Comprehensive needs assessment, phased training plan, champions program, train-the-trainer sessions, quarterly adoption reporting, 6-month support.

Custom scopes are available, and travel is additional for in-person work. Every engagement starts with a fixed-price proposal, so you know the number before you commit.

Where Training Fits in the Bigger Picture

Training engagements have a way of surfacing what else is going on. A workshop uncovers the pilot that stalled eight months ago, or the shadow AI tools nobody inventoried. That’s usually the point where one of the other services picks up: a rescue sprint for the stalled rollout, a governance sprint for the exposure question, or a fractional Chief AI Officer to own the whole thing month to month.

If you’re earlier in the journey and still deciding what AI should do for your business, start with the AI consulting hub instead.

Who This Is For

• SMB and mid-market teams (50 to 500 people) whose AI spend outruns their AI usage
• Companies that rolled out Copilot or ChatGPT with a generic webinar and watched adoption stall
• Leadership teams that need to justify the AI line item with usage and outcome data
• Teams adopting Claude or AI agents that want to start with good habits instead of unlearning bad ones

I’m based in North Carolina and train teams nationally, in person and remote.
