AI is a big opportunity for your business. Start with your hands on the wheel.
The businesses getting the most from AI did not wait for a perfect plan. They picked a real problem, started small, and made sure they could see what it cost and what it did. GenWA™ works with you to do the same, at a pace that suits you.
Simple. Understandable. Executable.
AI can give your people hours back every week.
Drafting, summarising, analysing, answering customers, preparing reports: work that used to take an afternoon can take minutes. For a business of 50 to 500 people, that is capacity you can put into growth, service and quality.
Without a plan, three things quietly go wrong.
- You cannot see the cost. Licences, usage and duplicate tools add up month by month, and nobody owns the number.
- You cannot see the data. Customer and staff information ends up in tools you did not choose, under terms you did not read.
- You cannot answer the question. When a customer, insurer, partner or board member asks what your AI is doing, there is no record to show them.
With a plan, the same tools work harder.
- You pay for what works. The right model for each job, one view of spend, and a budget each team can see.
- You stay in charge of your data. Clear rules about what goes where, enforced rather than hoped for.
- You can say yes faster. A record of what AI did and who approved it makes every new idea easier to approve.
Rules already apply to AI use: UK GDPR for personal data and, for businesses that trade into the EU, the EU AI Act. We help you understand which apply to you; we do not give legal advice.
How businesses use AI well, and what to avoid.
What works
- Start with one repetitive, painful job rather than a grand programme.
- Give each use of AI a named person who is accountable for it.
- Choose the right model for the task, not the most expensive one by default.
- Measure time or money saved before you scale anything up.
- Keep people in the loop where judgement, risk or vulnerable customers are involved.
- Train your people, then give them approved tools so they stop reaching for unapproved ones.
What to avoid
- Buying licences for everyone before you know who needs what.
- Letting every team choose its own tools and models.
- Pasting customer or staff data into free consumer accounts.
- Launching a large programme with no way to measure the value.
- Treating a policy document as if it were a control.
- Waiting for the rules to settle before you begin.
Choose the level of commitment that suits you.
Each step stands on its own. Start with a session for your board, or go straight to a plan. Whichever you choose, you keep what you learn.
Prices are indicative ranges, exclude VAT and depend on your company size. They are reviewed from time to time. We always confirm the price in writing before you commit.
A board session, a literacy half-day or a four-week team programme. The lightest way to begin.
Four weeks with your board: where AI pays in your business, where it must not be used, what to buy and what it returns. The fee is credited against year one if you go on with GenWA.
The rules, owners and controls that let your people use AI with confidence, set up with your team.

We are here to help you say yes.
Good control is what lets a business move quickly with AI. We help you see what is happening, set the rules, and keep the evidence, so every new idea is easier to approve. When you are ready to build, our Incubator and Accelerator are there to help you go further.
Questions people ask when they are starting.
Do we need a technical team?
No. Most of the businesses we talk to are 50 to 500 people with no in-house AI team. We work with the people you have.
Our people already use AI tools. Is that a problem?
It is common, and a good sign that your people want to work this way. We start by finding out what is in use, so you keep what works and tidy up what does not.
Will AI replace our people?
The aim is to give your people their time back for the work that needs judgement and relationships. People stay accountable for decisions that matter.
What if we are not ready for a big commitment?
Then start with training. Each step stands on its own, and the AI Strategy and Planning fee is credited against year one if you decide to go on with GenWA.
Start well. Then go faster.
