Thread Group

Your people are already using AI.
We make it safe, skilled and second nature.

Thread Group builds AI capability programmes around your organisation: your approved tools, your policies, your appetite for risk. Training, advisory and the habits that keep client data where it belongs.

Why now

Unofficial AI use doesn't wait for policy. The firms that get ahead of it train for it, inside the tools they've approved.

What we do

Built around your needs.
Here's what that can look like.

01

Cohort programmes

A half-day bootcamp that resets what people think AI can do, then a four-week cohort that embeds it in their real work. Run inside your approved tools, whether that's Copilot today or others as you adopt them.

02

Safe-use foundations

Clear, memorable rules for what goes into a prompt and what never does. Verification habits people actually keep. The difference between a policy on a shelf and behaviour under deadline.

03

Leadership & teams

Advisory for leaders navigating how to embed AI across the organisation, deep dives with specific teams, and one-to-ones for senior people whose use cases are their own.

These are illustrative. Every engagement is shaped around your organisation's tools, policies and priorities, with your risk and compliance colleagues in the room from the start.

A typical pilot

Kick-off to evidence in six weeks.

Week 0

Survey & setup

Map how people already use AI, sanctioned or not. Set everyone up properly.

Week 1

Bootcamp

A half-day that moves people from dabbling to building, hands-on, on real work.

Weeks 2–5

Embedding

Weekly sessions: workflows, verification, and the judgement of what to hand over.

Week 6

Report

What changed, where the risks sit, what the next cohort should look like.

A pilot typically runs with around 100 people in mixed group sessions, with leadership advisory alongside.

Built for regulated firms

Proactive beats reactive.

Your tools, your rules

We train inside the tools you've approved and the policies you've set. No workarounds, no grey areas.

Client data stays put

People learn precisely what can and can't go into a prompt, and why, until it's reflex rather than recall.

Accountability stays human

AI is confident even when wrong. We train verification as a habit and give leadership evidence, not anecdotes.
