Transform Your Workforce with AI

AI Accelerator

Most workforce AI training is generic, forgettable, and gone by Friday. The AAAI AI Accelerator is a structured, five-track program that moves your teams from basic AI awareness to real, measurable productivity. Foundational AI fluency, Microsoft Copilot, strategic AI leadership, governance & risk management, and responsible AI. Online or onsite. Built around your business, not a template. The result: teams that execute with AI, not just play with it.

2026 AI Kickoff Discovery

Your competitors are moving on AI. The question isn't whether your business should, it's where to begin or how best to accelerate your journey. We work with leadership teams to assess where you are, identify the highest-value opportunities, and build a roadmap ready to execute. You get a practical plan your teams can act on from day one. Discovery to implementation. Strategy to skills. If you're serious about AI in 2026, let's talk.

The 72-Hour AI Masterplan™

Most companies spend months planning AI and end up with a document nobody executes. In three days with us, your leadership team walks away with a fully documented roadmap, prioritised use cases, a 90-day execution plan, and governance built in from day one. No endless meetings. No bloated consulting bills. No stalling. Just a clear, executive-ready strategy that connects AI to your real business priorities and is ready to act on immediately.

The group discussions and presentations were great. They brought the modules together and it was great learning from each other and the presenters. Thank you Greg and the other presenters. It really was absolutely worth the cost and the 3 days out of office!

I really enjoyed the AI Strategy course at Henley Business School. It was interactive, informative and just the right amount of time. AAAI’s lecturers were very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Thanks for a great course. It is a great introduction to AI.

Our Purpose

Africa is not behind on AI. It is at a turning point. The African Academy of AI exists to help organisations build AI capability on their own terms. We believe that requires three things: the right strategy, the right guardrails and the right skills. We work with leadership teams at owner-led businesses, medium sized businesses, enterprises, business schools and foundations across the continent to move AI out of experimentation and into daily operations.

‍We help you decide where to start and what to prioritise, and we help you build a workforce that can put AI to work long after a workshop has ended.

‍Our team brings expertise in AI strategy, governance, responsible AI, data and change management. We partner with GIBS, Henley Business School Africa, the UCT Graduate School of Business and other members of the Association of African Business Schools. In 2026, we have educated nearly 5,000 people through our clients, our business school partners and industry conferences.We do not import AI thinking from elsewhere. We build it in Africa, for Africa.
