YOU CAN TAKE IT AND GIVE NOTHING BACK
The research questions are optional and asked separately, after the session. A company that answers none of them still gets everything above. We would rather have the relationship.
TMI / THE AI LEADERSHIP INITIATIVE
WE WILL TEACH
YOUR LEADERSHIP TEAM
FOR NOTHING.
We come to your office, sit down with your leadership team for a morning, and explain what AI actually does, what it costs, what it breaks, and where it would and would not help a company like yours. No fee, no commitment, and nothing to buy at the end of it.
We are not asking industrial companies to buy AI. We are making sure they understand it before their competitors do.
WHAT A PARTICIPATING COMPANY GETS
A MORNING,
AND WHATEVER FOLLOWS IT.
This is the whole programme. There is no second tier, no paid version of the session, and no part of it held back for companies that go on to hire us.
- 01A SESSION WITH YOUR LEADERSHIP TEAMWe come to your office. Your owner, your managers, whoever runs the floor and whoever runs the office, in one room for a morning.
- 02EVERY QUESTION ANSWEREDAI, data, software, security, what it costs, what it breaks, what your competitors are doing. Including the questions people are embarrassed to ask in front of their team.
- 03REAL EXAMPLES FROM YOUR INDUSTRYWhat this actually looks like in machine shops, oilfield service, manufacturing, trucking and construction. Not a technology keynote.
- 04WHERE IT COULD APPLY HEREWe work through your own operation out loud and say where AI would help, where it would not, and what would have to be true first.
- 05AN AI READINESS SNAPSHOTA short, plain read on how prepared the company is, written after the session and yours to keep.
- 06WHAT COMES NEXT, AS IT COMESBriefings, roundtables and executive luncheons with other owners in the region, for as long as you want them.
THE PART MOST FIRMS WOULD LEAVE OUT
WHAT WE GET
OUT OF IT.
Free education from a company that sells services is a trade, and an owner is right to want to know what the other half of it is before anybody sits down. So here it is, in the same size type.
WHAT YOUR COMPANY GETS
- The education, in your building, for your whole leadership team
- Every question answered by people who build this for a living
- Your readiness snapshot, yours to keep
- Access to the briefings and the rooms as they happen
- No fee, no commitment, and nothing to buy at the end
WHAT TMI GETS
- Permission to ask you a standard set of research questions
- A picture of how industrial companies in this region are adopting AI
- What leaders are actually asking, and where the real obstacles are
- The relationship, and the chance to be useful later
- Findings we can aggregate into industry research
Over time that research is meant to become an Industrial AI Adoption Report: a published picture of how established industrial companies are actually preparing for this, built from what owners tell us rather than from what vendors claim. It does not exist yet. This is how it would get built.
WHAT WE WILL NOT DO
THE RULES OF IT,
IN WRITING.
Every line below is a commitment rather than a description. If TMI breaks one of them, you should say so publicly and we would deserve it.
WE DO NOT TAKE YOUR OPERATING DATA
The research is a standard questionnaire about adoption, tooling and obstacles. We do not ask for your records, your customer list, your financials or access to your systems, and none of that is part of this.
WHAT YOU TELL US STAYS YOURS
Anything specific to your company is confidential and does not move between companies. What we publish is aggregated across many of them, with nothing that identifies one.
YOU AGREE IN WRITING, BEFORE ANYTHING IS COLLECTED
What is collected, who owns it, how it may be used and whether it may be published or licensed is written down and signed before the first question, not buried in a footer.
THIS IS NOT A CHARITY AND WE WILL NOT PRETEND IT IS
TMI is a company that sells services, and this programme is how a lot of companies will meet us. It is a commercial education and research programme, not a nonprofit, and nobody is asked to buy anything to take part.
WHY WE DO IT THIS WAY
THREE HONEST
REASONS.
- BECAUSE MOST OF THIS MARKET IS BEING SOLD TO, NOT TAUGHTEstablished industrial companies are being approached with AI products by people who have never walked their floor. The owners we meet do not need another demonstration. They need to understand what the thing is before somebody quotes them for it.
- BECAUSE WE WANT TO KNOW WHAT IS ACTUALLY HAPPENINGNobody has a good picture of how industrial companies in this part of the country are really adopting AI. We would like one, built from what owners tell us rather than from what vendors claim, and we are willing to teach for it.
- BECAUSE IT IS HOW WE WOULD WANT TO BE APPROACHEDIf somebody came into a business we were running and taught the team something useful for a morning with nothing to sign, we would remember it. That is the whole strategy and we are not going to dress it up as anything else.
AND IF YOU WANT MORE THAN A MORNING
NOTHING BEFORE THE AUDIT
COSTS ANYTHING.
The session is where most companies meet TMI. Nobody is moved along it, and stopping after the education is the normal outcome rather than a failure.
AI Leadership Session
A morning with your leadership team, in your building.
Fit Call
Fifteen minutes, if you want to talk about working together.
Intelligent Company Audit
Thirty days inside the business, fourteen deliverables.
Implement, build, train or license
Only what the audit found, priced in writing first.
ASK FOR A SESSION
TELL US WHO
IS IN THE ROOM.
A morning on site cannot be booked off a fifteen minute calendar, so this is the one place on the site that asks for more than an email. We reply the same working day, and we will tell you honestly if we do not think it is worth your team’s morning.
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT
We reply the same working day
We agree a date that suits your crew
We research the company before we come
Nothing is sold in the room
NO FEE. NO SOFTWARE PITCH. NOTHING TO SIGN TO FIND OUT.
BEFORE YOU ASK
THE QUESTIONS
OWNERS ASK FIRST.
- What does it cost?
- Nothing, and there is nothing to buy at the end of it. We are not going to leave a proposal on the table. If you want to talk about working together afterwards you can book a Fit Call like anybody else, and plenty of companies never will.
- Then how is TMI not just selling to us?
- We are hoping you will remember us, and we are saying so on this page rather than pretending otherwise. What stops it being a sales call is that nothing is for sale in the room: no proposal, no pricing, no follow-up sequence you did not ask for. If somebody from TMI pitches you in a session, tell Mia and it will not happen again.
- Why is the audit $25,000 if the education is free?
- Because they cost us different things. Teaching your leadership team costs us a morning. Auditing your company costs us thirty days inside it, and a firm that offers that free is being paid by somebody else or is selling you something at the end of it. We would rather be straight about which is which.
- What exactly do you collect?
- A standard questionnaire: what you have adopted so far, what software you run, where work gets stuck, how ready your data is, what your people would need to be trained on, and what you expect to spend and when. No records, no financials, no system access, and nothing at all until you have agreed in writing to what happens to it.
- Can you publish something about my company?
- Not identifiably, and not without separate written permission. The research is published in aggregate across many companies. Your name appears nowhere in it unless you have signed something that says it may.
- Who should be in the room?
- The owner, and the people who would have to live with any of this: operations, the office, whoever looks after your systems, and the son or daughter taking it over if there is one. Eight people is a good room. Thirty is a conference.
