Built around access, confidence and public benefit.
The Initiative focuses on donated time and practical expertise, with the needs of mission-led organisations at the centre.
Your team is already using AI.Make it safe, useful and yours.
You do not need another shiny tool demo. You need clear guidelines, guardrails and effective workflows.
I help small businesses, charities and community groups get there through free readiness calls, clarity sessions, team workshops, 30-day workflow sprints and light-touch ongoing support.
Hello, I am Frank.
I want to help you put safe AI adoption into practice: choosing tools, writing policies people can follow, building the first workflows and training teams without the hype or the mess.
You will speak directly with me. There is no sales team and no expectation that you arrive knowing the language.
After a half-day AI workflow consult
As a small business owner, I ironically felt that I was “too busy” and that our business was “too complex” to look at implementing AI for anything beyond a ChatGPT search sesh.
I highly recommend Frank's approach to problem solving with AI, it felt safe, structured, balanced and perfectly paced for someone new to this tech!
AI Unlocked for Small Business and Charities.
The book gives you the method. Ask for the editable toolkit when you want working files, starter templates and a sensible first place to begin.
A charitable wing for wider access to safe AI.
The AI Adoption Initiative is the charitable wing of this work: a way to help more charities, community groups and people who are otherwise left behind benefit from practical, responsible AI adoption.
Want the editable toolkit?
Ask for the starter toolkit or one editable resource you want to use first.
This is also a simple way to start a conversation if you want help applying the method to your organisation.

The risk is ordinary. So are the fixes.
Most AI risk in small organisations is not science fiction. It is ordinary, well-meaning shortcuts by busy people who were never told where the line is.
Shadow AI
People use unapproved tools and personal accounts because nobody has given them a safe, practical option.
Privacy leakage
A client detail, donor list or HR matter gets pasted into a public chatbot to “just get a quick draft”.
Tool-first adoption
A new app creates a burst of activity, a few party tricks and nothing people still use three weeks later.
Five ways AI can help normal work.
Tools change every few months. The underlying work does not: writing, thinking, finding, making and moving information.
Write
Get from blank page to editable draft: grants, reports, proposals, emails, newsletters and web copy.
Think
Explore options, stress-test plans, spot blind spots and turn vague intentions into a 90-day plan.
Find
Turn approved documents, policies and past work into answers people can actually locate and trust.
Make and move
Create useful assets, then automate drafts and handoffs before you ever automate decisions.
Rules first. Two workflows next. Then widen deliberately.
Discover
Map the work, the worries and the AI use already happening in the shadows.
Guardrail
Agree approved tools, human review and a traffic-light data rule your team can remember.
Build two
Create two low-risk, high-frequency workflows and document them on one page each.
Widen
Train champions, track time saved and grow carefully once the first habits stick.
Choose the amount of help your team actually needs.
Some teams need one decision untangled. Some need everyone in the room. Some need hands-on help turning the first workflows into something people will still use next month.
Readiness call
A short, plain conversation about what is happening now, what needs protecting and where AI could give time back without creating new risk.
No pitch deck. Just a useful next step, even if that step is not working with me.
AI Clarity Session
For one knotty decision: tool choice, policy wording, data rules, risk or which workflow to try first.
Bring the question. Leave with a recommendation you can explain.
Half-day workshop
Get people hands-on with real work, set the data line and choose the first workflows worth keeping.
The fastest route from “we should do something” to “this is how we do it here”.
30-day workflow sprint
We build the first two reviewed workflows together, train the team and leave behind instructions people can reuse.
Two working workflows beat a grand strategy nobody has time to read.
Bring the work that keeps piling up.
We will find the first safe, useful workflow, set the line around sensitive data and decide whether you need a clarity session, a workshop or hands-on help.
