When fewer people touch the work, the questions they used to ask go too: why it failed last time, whether that claim is true, whether it needed doing at all. Charlie Jacks gives teams a cast of characters and ready-to-run sessions that keep those questions, and the skills behind them, in the room. Including for the people who don't use AI yet.
The castTap a figure to read the full plate · Meet all six
A good team was always a recipe, and NEIL has just joined it. Don’t put a human in the loop. Put them in the design. Read the recipe
In 75 minutes the team agrees who checks what, the rules it already works by, what it will keep doing itself, and one practical next step. Any manager can run it straight from the pack.
£79 one team
Any manager can run it, with no slides and no training. People who don't use AI yet are part of it from the start, and leave knowing what's OK to try.
£395 up to 100 staff
Every manager having the same conversation, in the same month, without booking a trainer for each team. Before AI arrives, three months on, new and merging teams, the away day and the board.

Charlie Jacks has worked behind a shop counter, in schools, in a factory office, freelance, in IT support, web design, systems, marketing and operations. Has managed teams, reported to directors, and built AI systems that people use every day.
The cast comes from watching the same people turn up in every one of those workplaces. The sessions come from needing them, and not finding them anywhere.
Eighteen patterns that explain why marketing feels the way it does, and why that feeling is not unique to where you work. With a small cast you will start to recognise by Chapter Three.
How work really works now AI is in the room, from whichever seat you're in. Plus first word when the packs launch.
