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.

VAT, special price until 30 November 2026.

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.

Most importantly, the engagement moved us beyond experimentation and 'AI hype' into a focused, actionable roadmap. The final readout and roadmap provided clarity on priorities, training needs, and governance foundations, enabling us to confidently plan our 2026 AI initiatives with measurable outcomes in mind.

AI Lead, Mining Services Company

The feedback from our leadership team has been extremely positive. The session successfully challenged all of us to think differently about the role of AI in transforming how we work, personal mastery and how we create value across our business. The practical focus, engaging facilitation, and collaborative learning environment made for a highly impactful experience.

Global Advertising Agency

I thoroughly enjoyed the workshop and found it to be one of the most practical and advanced AI programmes I have attended. What stood out for me was the strong focus on how to implement different AI agents into everyday work and business environments, moving beyond theory into real-world application. I would highly recommend this course to leaders and professionals looking to understand not only the potential of AI, but also how to effectively implement it to drive business value.

Regional Sales Manager, Multinational Industrial Technology Company

The numbers back it up. Finance leaders at a major South African financial institution scored our facilitation 9.2 out of 10, and 14 of 17 would recommend the programme to a colleague.

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.
