AI, GEO & Agentic Commerce

A 2-hour session for boards, executives, and commercial, procurement, and risk teams who need to understand what happens when AI agents start sourcing, choosing, and buying on behalf of an organisation and the people it serves.

This is the shift from a person deciding and purchasing to an agent acting on a goal, whether that goal is restocking a supply chain, engaging a professional service, or completing a routine purchase. It is already live in the major AI platforms.

No hype, no sales-pitch, just a clear picture of how it works and what it means for you.

This session covers:

What agentic commerce is, and why now.
How an agent completes a transaction and pays, without exposing credentials.
The protocol and platform landscape, and why you will need more than one.
Getting found and chosen by buying agents: Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO).
What it means for procurement, supply chains, and professional services.
The risk, liability, and AI governance questions
Practical first steps, as a buyer and as a supplier.

I customise the content and examples to your organisation and sector, with time for Q&A and discussion throughout.

Frequently asked questions:

What makes your AI training different?

Many AI training programmes focus on tools and features. My training focuses on practical application. Participants learn where AI creates genuine value, where it can go wrong, and how to apply it responsibly in professional environments. The emphasis is always on practical outcomes rather than technology for its own sake.

Who is the training designed for?

Programmes can be tailored for all staff, leadership teams, boards, technical professionals, managers, and subject matter experts. Training is suitable for both beginners and confident AI users, with content adjusted to suit the audience.

What AI tools do you cover?

Training most commonly includes Microsoft Copilot and Claude, and also extends to Google AI technologies. The focus is on teaching practical use in the tools available in an organisation.

Can the training be tailored to our organisation?

Yes. Every programme is customised to the audience, industry, and organisational objectives. I regularly deliver training for engineering, construction, infrastructure, health, professional services, government, education, and not-for-profit organisations, using relevant examples and real-world use cases.

Is the training practical or theoretical?

The training is highly practical. Participants see live demonstrations, explore real use cases, and learn techniques they can apply immediately. The focus is on helping people use AI effectively in their day-to-day work rather than understanding the underlying technology.

What will participants leave with?

Do you discuss privacy, security, and responsible AI use?

Yes. Topics typically include privacy, confidentiality, security, governance, human oversight, and organisational policies, helping participants understand how to use AI safely and responsibly.

Invest in the future of you and your organisation.
