How We Work
Many organisations are already exploring AI, but don’t yet have a shared understanding of how it should be used in practice.
We support teams across HR, change, workplace and leadership to introduce AI in ways that fit their culture, roles and ways of working - without rushing, over engineering or handing it off to IT alone.
Our focus is on adoption in practice: how people understand AI, how it’s actually used day to day, and how organisations avoid confusion, risk and under-use.
In most cases, organisations begin with a short, practical workshop, tailored for teams, leaders or HR and change functions, to build shared understanding and responsible habits around AI.
These sessions can stand alone, or lead into more targeted support where needed.
Whether the aim is to reduce admin, support better judgement, respond to growing AI use or create clearer expectations, we help organisations move forward with clarity rather than noise.
Why This Matters
AI is already being used across organisations - often without clear guidance, shared understanding or consistent approach.
This is often the point at which organisations pause and look for independent, people-focused guidance.
of managers vs 16% of employees use AI - exposing a major knowledge gap
of UK workers secretly use AI - risking trust and data
call AI a priority - but just 10% have scaled GenAI
of leaders lack a clear AI strategy - despite calling it essential
Who's Behind This?

Kirsty Hayward
Founder, SensAI | Change & AI Adoption Consultant
I’m Kirsty Hayward, a change and transformation consultant with experience delivering large-scale workplace and organisational change across banking, pharma, professional services, non-profits and design & build.
Alongside major change programmes - including HQ relocations, hybrid working and global workplace initiatives - I founded SensAI to help organisations make sense of AI in the context of real work.
My focus has been on what happens after strategy: whether people understand the change, use new tools properly, and feel supported to work differently day to day.
Through SensAI, I work with teams to introduce AI in ways that are practical and aligned with how organisations actually operate, supporting adoption and reducing risk over time.
What's Really Holding Teams Back From AI?
It’s rarely just skills gaps or unclear roadmaps.
More often, it’s uncertainty about what’s acceptable, what’s expected, and who remains accountable. This often shows up as quiet experimentation, hesitation or people opting out altogether.
Our free guides outline the most common AI-related concerns and risks we see inside organisations, and how to spot them early before they slow adoption or create unnecessary risk.
Our Core Workshops
Three practical workshops designed to help teams and leaders build confidence, shared understanding and responsible habits around AI.
AI Without Losing Your Brain
A practical session for teams
A session exploring when AI can be helpful, when it can go wrong, and how to stay in control of your own thinking at work.
The workshop covers:
What AI is (and isn’t), explained without jargon
Common mistakes and risks, including bias and over-reliance
Human judgement, empathy and creativity - and why they still matter
A simple ethical check to support safer decisions
Format: 90 minutes

AI for Leaders: Confidence & Responsibility
For senior leaders, directors and heads of function
A focused session to help leaders set clear expectations, guide teams responsibly and avoid mixed messages around AI use.
The workshop explores:
What leaders need to understand about AI now
Real dilemmas organisations are already facing
How leadership behaviour shapes culture and trust
How to talk about AI clearly with teams
Practical next steps to embed responsible use
Format: 90 minutes

AI Readiness & Ethical Impact
For HR, change, transformation or communications teams
A structured workshop to understand how ready your organisation really is for AI - and where ethical or cultural blind spots may exist.
The workshop includes:
Five key dimensions of AI readiness
A facilitated scorecard activity to surface risks and strengths
Discussion of real-world ethical hotspots
Action mapping to agree realistic next steps
Format: Half-day (in person)

Advisory & Ongoing Support
Alongside our workshops, we offer additional support for organisations that want to go further.
These services are typically used after a workshop, once teams have built shared understanding and want help embedding responsible AI use in practice. This support is designed to complement our workshops, not replace them.
AI Readiness Check
A short diagnostic to understand how AI is currently being used across your organisation - and where clarity, guidance or guardrails may be needed.
This is useful when AI use is growing informally and leaders want a clearer picture before deciding next steps.

Mini Pilot Sprint
A low-risk way to explore selected AI tools and understand how they work in practice before wider rollout.
We guide teams through a short pilot and reflection, helping surface confidence levels, blockers and practical considerations.

Ongoing Advisory
Light-touch, independent support for organisations navigating AI adoption over time.
This can include check-ins, async reviews or ad-hoc input on ethical risk, adoption challenges, internal communication and emerging considerations.
Designed for teams who want a trusted sounding board - without hype, pressure or over-engineering.
