Build practical AI capability that sticks
Educators, not consultants
Avocado AI helps organisations across New Zealand & Australia build the skills, habits, and confidence to use AI well in real work through facilitated cohorts and an Online Learning Platform.
3-workshop leadership cohorts, 12-week team cohorts, with ongoing support.
AI rollouts can stall because they focus on tools, not people
Buying access to AI tools is easy. Building safe habits, stronger judgement, and practical day-to-day use across your organisation is the harder part.
That's why practical capability uplift matters.
What this looks like in practice
Leadership cohort(s)
  • 3 x 3-hour facilitated workshops
  • one month apart
  • practical work between sessions
  • shared AI Playbook
  • graduation share-back
  • 12 months platform access
Delivered in partnership with Hatch Talent - specialists in leadership development.
Team cohort(s)
  • 12 weekly 1-hour facilitated sessions
  • live demos, pair exercises, real-task practice
  • use cases submitted between sessions
  • shared company AI Playbook
  • 12 months platform access
Online learning platform
  • self-paced learning
  • weekly support calls
  • reinforcement, catch-up, wider rollout
A model that scales with your organisation
Small business
Start with one facilitated team cohort to build shared understanding, safer habits, and real momentum
Small/medium business
Combine facilitated leadership and team cohorts, then widen access with the Online Learning Platform if more people need to come along.
Large/Enterprise
Use multiple facilitated cohorts across leaders and teams, and broader Online Learning Platform rollout to build capability at scale.

How the learning feels
This is live, practical learning built around your real work.
Live and hands-on
Demos, exercises, pair work, real tasks.
Built on your context
Your workflows, your documents, your questions.
Designed to stick
Between-session practice, shared playbooks, accountability.
ChatGPT or Microsoft Copilot
Some organisations are free to choose their AI environment. Others are committed to Microsoft. We support both.
If you want to compare both before broader rollout, we can help you do that properly.
What organisations leave with
A live, shared company AI Playbook with real use cases
Reusable assistants, workflows, or GPTs/agents built around real work
Safer prompting and review habits used in day-to-day work
Named AI champions and team sharing rituals
A practical operating rhythm for ongoing adoption
Evidence of wins, time saved, or quality improved
