Partnership

ISS & Caversham House

We work alongside ISS to help organisations unlock lasting value from AI. The Caversham House programme looks at understanding how organisations work today, builds capability through structured training, and keeps momentum with guided advisory, so that AI creates real, lasting change for the people using it.

1. Teardown: Go to the source

We start by deeply understanding how the business works today via interviews and process analysis.

1

Processes

How the business works today

What we look at

Workflows, handoffs, friction points, where effort goes.

2

Data

What you have and how usable it is

What we look at

What data exists, how accessible it is, how clean, how trusted.

3

Knowledge

What your people know

What we look at

Tribal knowledge, silos, undocumented workflows, reliance on key people.

4

AI readiness

Tools, process, people

What we look at

Existing tools, process maturity, skills and appetite across the team.

What your organisation gets

  • 1. A clear, objective snapshot of the current state
  • 2. AI readiness across tools, process, and people
  • 3. Governance and data risks to be addressed
  • 4. AI roadmap

2. Training: Your learning roadmap

A structured path from steering and governance through foundation skills, role pathways, and continuous practice, aligned with how your teams actually work.

What we offer:

  • AI Steering Committee and Governance: Set the direction at the top, a dedicated course for your steering committee to establish governance, policy and strategic vision from day one.
  • GenAI Foundation Course: Start together with a full-length foundation course, a shared grounding in AI for your whole organisation so everyone begins from the same place.
  • Learning Pathways: Go deeper by role through structured learning pathways for executives, team leaders and all staff.
  • Microlearning: Stay sharp with continuous microlearning, with new courses added every month and just-in-time pop-ups as the AI landscape shifts.

Every course concludes with a practical takeaway - such as a checklist, ready-to-use presentation content, or access to a bespoke tool - to help you apply what you've learned immediately.

How the learning works

  • All courses are online and self-paced, with built-in peer-sharing so learners never go it alone.
  • Intentional onboarding in live remote sessions before the start of the AI Steering Committee & Governance course and all-staff GenAI Foundation course.

Learn by doing

Action steps using your own tools and tasks. Knowledge checks are scenario-based, not recall.

Practical takeaways

Every course ends with a takeaway (a checklist, a template, bespoke presentation), so learning translates directly into action.

Build the habit

Learning pathways, microlearning, just-in-time courses. Small consistent kata beats one-off training every time.

3. Guided advisory

Putting the roadmap into practice

The opportunity

A strong roadmap is only the starting line. Real value comes from putting it to work and letting it evolve with the business.

How it runs

A senior advisor in the room fortnightly. Each session picks the next use case, reviews the last one, shares what worked, and decides what to back, adjust or scale.

What it produces

Routine work handed off to AI. Teams freed to spend time with customers, with each other, and on the work only people can do.

Senior advisor, fortnightly

Each session makes AI-driven work decisions, freeing teams from routine tasks to focus on customers, collaboration and uniquely human contributions.
