AI Training & Adoption Strategist
Laura Gates, PhD
Helping consultancies and companies to drive AI adoption through tailored training and change strategy.
I provide these services as a specialist partner to consultancies and directly to organisations:
AI Training: Design and delivery of tailored, evidence-based training programmes that develop the confidence and competence teams need to integrate AI into their workflows.
Adoption Planning: Consulting on how to align AI initiatives with organisational culture, skills and structure.
Governance Enablement: Support for embedding responsible, compliant and context-aware AI practices.
Why partner with me
I bring dual expertise: 20+ years as an academic designing training programmes and leading complex research projects, combined with hands-on software engineering experience building AI systems.
My work bridges the creative and technical, bringing rigour, curiosity and communication skills to close the gap that undermines many AI initiatives: the disconnect between technical capabilities and human adoption. I understand both what AI can realistically do, and how to design training strategies that help people actually use it.
I specialise in the challenge that determines whether AI projects succeed: getting organisations to adopt AI tools, not just deploy them.
