From proof to ownership
6-8 months
A program with a clear beginning and end. 6 months of intensive collaboration, building, transferring, and training Champions, until you can do it yourselves. Continuing with us afterwards is a choice, not a necessity.

of AI pilots fail
Not because of technology, because of adoption
Most AI projects don't fail because the technology doesn't work, but because nobody takes ownership. No champions, no process for embedding it. After the pilot, everyone goes back to the old way of working.
What companies usually try
Do it yourself
Takes months longer, knowledge stays with 1-2 people, and it fades at the first deadline.
We accelerate and embed simultaneously. After 6 months it stands, even when we leave.
Training only
Inspiring, but after 2 weeks nobody does anything with it. Knowledge without implementation evaporates.
Training is part of our program, not the whole program. We build and train.
Hire a big consultancy
Months of analysis, PowerPoint deliverables, and a shocking invoice. Your team learns nothing.
We work alongside your team, not in front of it. Everything we build, you can maintain.
Hire an AI specialist
6 months recruiting, 6 months onboarding, single point of failure. And one person can't do everything.
We deliver a senior team immediately, while training your own Champions.
The Tandem Model
We start in front, but the goal is for you to ride on your own.
Month 1-2: SPAIK leads
We steer, build the first automations, and identify your Champions.
Month 3-4: Steering together
Champions take over more and more. We guide, you do increasingly more yourself.
Month 5-6: You in front
Champions are self-sufficient. SPAIK available for questions, no longer leading.
The Champions Program
Not dependency, but ownership. Your Champions learn to identify, build, embed, and sell internally.
Change Management & Adoption
How do you bring people along, and how do you free up budget internally for AI initiatives?
Design Thinking for AI Opportunities
How do you find the right problems to solve? Process analysis, impact estimation, prioritization.
Building & Managing AI Agents
Prompts, workflows, tools, testing, documentation, from idea to production and maintenance.
Governance & Responsible AI
Privacy, risk assessment, EU AI Act, escalation protocol, filled in sector-specifically.
Certification
Practical test + portfolio review. SPAIK Certified AI Champion certificate and LinkedIn badge.
Champion Enablement Kit
ROI templates, internal pitch deck, management FAQ, so Champions can also free up budget internally.
Champion Circle
Closed community for certified Champions. Knowledge sharing, best practices, quarterly meetups.
