The Gap

Most are experimenting. Few are winning.

McKinsey · State of AI, 2025
88%

of companies now use AI regularly.

PwC Global CEO Survey, 2026
12%

of CEOs have seen an impact on both costs and revenue.

Professionals struggle to combine ambition for AI with the practical understanding to put it to work. And the training on offer does not close that gap, because it comes in two flavours:

Option 1 / Theory

“AI will change everything”

Inspiring keynote-style awareness. But you walk out with nothing concrete to act on.

Option 2 / Technique

“Click here, press that”

Tool tutorials and how-tos. Useful mechanics, but no strategic judgement about what matters.

We work in the missing middle: you experience what AI can do, then decide what to do about it, and learn to incorporate AI like a team member.

AI does not pose a technological challenge. It poses a personal development challenge, and that is the gap we close: Stefano's AI knowledge and future-of-work expertise, combined with Tommaso's coaching and learning experience.

What We Offer

Two ways of working together

Executive session

3 hours · In person · For decision-makers
Stefano Piano delivering an executive session

Three hours, no slides. We solve a real strategic problem your organisation is facing, live, and your leadership team leaves aligned on three things worth doing.

  1. A live demonstration by Stefano, with AI applied to a problem your organisation is grappling with right now.
  2. Case studies of organisations like yours.
  3. A working session facilitated by Tommaso that moves your leadership team from scattered opinions to alignment on three concrete, prioritised next steps.

See Stefano in action at Pycon, a major tech conference with 250+ people in attendance.

Small group coaching

10 hours · Groups of 10 to 15
Stefano Piano teaching a small group session

Over ten hours, we accompany a small group to AI proficiency. Stefano brings the AI expertise; Tommaso follows the process throughout, from the first learning session to individual coaching where a team member needs it. Each participant develops two use cases from their own work, through a step-by-step curriculum:

  1. The bases of prompting.
  2. Setting up agents and assistants.
  3. An overview of the AI stack.
  4. Bringing everything together in AI workflows.

The cadence adjusts to your team's needs and availability.

About

Stefano Piano

I am an AI practitioner and economist. Most recently I led the world's largest practical AI community at Mindstone, where I designed, delivered and assisted with 20+ AI demos and workshops, including for HumanX, The Home Depot, Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group and the Pritzker Organisation.

I am an Adjunct Professor at ISEP, the top school for software engineers in Paris, and I have delivered lectures, panel interventions and AI demos at Harvard, Kedge, Pycon, Vivatech and SMAU, and other conferences, with live demos for 1,000+ people. I spent five years at the OECD working on the future of work, skills and new technologies, began my career as an economist at Frontier Economics, and hold degrees from the LSE, Cambridge and Warwick.

See me in action: a live demo on the future of work in Lisbon, and the Practical AI Summit I hosted with HumanX.
