Your team is doing in a week what AI can do before lunch.
Reports, research, proposals, admin. The work eating your people's week is exactly the work AI does in minutes. I train your team to use it well, safely, so those hours come back.
SMEs, government agencies and corporates are already turning this into faster delivery. Running a larger organisation and want to move at the same pace? That's a conversation too.
The hours aren't lost to big problems. They leak out of small ones.
A senior officer spends half a day formatting a report. An analyst rebuilds research that already exists somewhere in the building. A manager answers the same email for the tenth time. Add it up across a team and you get hundreds of paid hours a month that never turn into outcomes. The tools to get them back already exist. Most teams just haven't been shown how to use them. That's the job the Playbook does.
The Manual Work Ledger
Put a number on the hours walking out the door.
Start from a team like yours, or enter your own numbers. What comes out is an estimate based only on what you enter: a starting point for a real conversation, not a promise.
For an SME / startup cohort
This is an estimate based on the numbers you entered. I'd rather show you a plain figure than an inflated one, and we pressure-test the real number together in a proper diagnostic.
How the numbers work: annual manual-work cost equals people × manual hours per week × 46 working weeks × hourly cost, where hourly cost comes from your average monthly cost. Recoverable value is that cost multiplied by the reduction you set. Capacity reclaimed converts recovered hours into full-time equivalents. Cost of delay is one month of recoverable value still on the table.
How the Playbook works
Diagnose. Deploy. Document. Scale.
A four-step method your team can start on Monday. Built from real delivery across public and private sectors, not from a slide deck.
Diagnose
Find where the hours actually leak: the repeatable, high-volume tasks in each role that AI can take on today.
Deploy
Put ready-to-use prompts and role playbooks into the real workflow, with simple guardrails for data, privacy and accuracy.
Document
Turn what works into templates and SOPs, so the gains belong to the organisation, not to whoever happened to be in the room.
Scale
Champions, a light operating rhythm, and a few honest metrics, so the hours saved keep compounding after I leave.
Ways to work together
Start small. Prove the hours. Scale what works.
Every engagement is built to pay for itself. Run your numbers in the Manual Work Ledger above: teams that put the hours to work often recover a programme's cost within a few weeks.
AI Opportunity Diagnostic
A focused review of where AI wins your team the most hours, with a prioritised action plan you can act on immediately. Book a programme within 60 days and the fee comes off in full.

Who I've trained, and where
AI capacity built across Africa and Europe, from government ministries to small trading hubs.
Government & public agencies
Directorate, trade-promotion and board-level teams. They use AI for faster reporting, research and citizen-facing work, with the governance public service requires.
Development programmes
Lead trainer and capacity-builder on multi-country initiatives. I equip the people who carry the skills back into their own institutions.
SMEs, startups & hubs
Founders and small teams getting hands-on with AI, from investor readiness to daily operations, through the continent's leading hubs.
Corporates & universities
In-house training, executive briefings and sessions on emerging technology, for corporate teams and business schools alike.
Countries: Ghana, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, South Africa, Rwanda, Kenya, Uganda, Burundi, Somalia. Home base: Accra and Vienna.
For development partners & programmes
Give your beneficiaries an AI advantage they'll actually use, long after the programme closes.
I plug into trade, digital and agribusiness programmes as the AI capacity component: training your SMEs, TPOs, cooperatives and business support organisations in practical, responsible AI, and leaving your team everything it needs to keep it running.
I've delivered the AI capacity component inside multi-country trade, agritech and digital programmes, including East African trade-promotion bodies, agritech cohorts in Ghana, and SME training in Sierra Leone. If that sounds like your programme, let's talk about your beneficiaries.
- Curriculum & TOR ready. Scope, modules and deliverables that drop straight into procurement.
- Trainer-of-trainers. Equipping local facilitators so capacity stays in-country.
- Governance guide. Data, privacy and accuracy rules funders ask about.
- Built for beneficiaries. Phone-first, low-bandwidth, English and French.
- Monitoring & results. Baselines, NPS and before/after evidence built for reporting.
- Multi-country delivery. Proven across West, East and Southern Africa.
Why work with me
The brand-name firms will send you a deck and a bill. I send your team back to work faster, the same week.
In tech, research and capacity building since 2007. Author of Momentum: Newton's Laws of Business Motion. Co-author of the Ghana AI Practitioners' Handbook. Digitalisation & AI Expert with the International Trade Centre. Published research with IEEE.
- Sized like your teamThe big consultancies build for organisations with thousands of staff and a matching budget. This is built for a team of twelve, a ministry directorate, or a growing corporate function.
- Context firstNearly two decades across public and private sectors means the AI I recommend fits the budget, systems and constraints you actually have.
- Africa and Europe, both waysRaised between Accra and Vienna, I move between how the two systems really work. That matters most for cross-border teams and partners.
- Built to outlast the workshopTemplates, champions and honest metrics carry the gains past the last training day. The goal is a habit, not a memory of a good session.
Two-minute AI readiness check
Where does your team stand today?
Five quick questions for an honest read on where you're starting and where the fastest gains sit. Answer them and I'll send you a straight next step.
Choose an answer for each question, then add your details below.
What changed after the training
Stuck for months. Unstuck in a night.
My website had been stuck for six months. One evening with these tools, and it was built and live.
An assessment that used to take my team 14 days now takes 2. Same quality, a fraction of the time.
I built skills far outside my own field, and finished work I simply couldn't have completed before.
Also said about training with Isaac
"A great facilitator and coach — engaging, brilliant and patient."
"Exceptional knowledge, skill and expertise, with a strong grasp of business development."
"He connected diverse perspectives and kept everything action-oriented. Highly recommend."
