The scope

What does Training include?

Training connects an AI tool to a task the participant needs to complete.

The scope starts with the audience, their existing access and the work they want to practise. It should give people a way to try the task, review the result and know when to ask for help.

A defined audience

Agree who is attending and what they already know. Leaders choosing where AI belongs need a different session from people learning to use it in a daily workflow. The brief identifies that difference before the agenda is set.

Work to practise

Choose examples that relate to the team’s responsibilities. A marketing team might practise preparing a brief or reviewing a draft. Another function may need to work through its own information and decisions. The agreed examples determine the exercises.

A review habit

People need to examine the output as well as write a prompt. Training makes room to compare the result with the intended task, identify missing context and decide which parts require human judgement.

A next step at work

Agree what participants should try after the session and who can answer questions. If the organisation needs ongoing adoption support, connect the training to the Program rather than expecting the session alone to change working habits.

How it starts

Agree the work before it begins.

Use these four steps to turn the business question into a scope your team can review.

  1. 01

    Identify the audience

    Name the roles, their starting point and the decision the training should support.

  2. 02

    Choose the tasks

    Agree the everyday work and examples participants can use in the session.

  3. 03

    Practise and review

    Work through the task, examine the output and discuss the points where judgement matters.

  4. 04

    Apply and follow up

    Set the next task to try at work and decide whether the team needs additional support.

The record

Training inside working teams.

LOKAL has trained approximately 1,500 people in the last two years, counted from attendance records.

Before LOKAL, Joshua Pielago ran an internal AI adoption programme at a global technology company across five APAC markets in 2025–26: approximately 4,000 people trained and more than 300 working bots shipped. That was his employer’s programme, not LOKAL’s. These are separate records with their own scope.

What to bring

The context your team already has.

Bring what is available. The consultation identifies what else is needed before the scope is agreed.

  • The roles attending, their existing AI access and their level of familiarity.
  • Two or three examples of work the team wants to improve, with any information boundaries explained.
  • A person who can help participants apply the work after the training and answer internal questions.

Connected work

Choose the next step around the need.

The stages connect, but your team does not need to begin every piece of work at once.

The Blueprint ↗

Start with planning when the organisation has not decided where AI should be used.

The Program ↗

Connect the session to adoption across a team with a lead and a review rhythm.

Common questions

Before we start.

These questions help establish the people, responsibilities and starting point for the work.

Can we use the tools we already have?

Tell us which tools participants can access. The training brief starts with the team’s existing environment and the tasks they need to practise. Any additional access is discussed before the agenda is agreed.

Is this for leaders or the whole team?

The audience is part of the scope. A leader making adoption decisions needs different work from a participant learning a recurring task. We agree the audience and the intended outcome before choosing exercises.

What happens after the session?

Agree one next task participants can try and who will support them. If adoption needs continued coordination, the Program provides a way to connect training, practice and review.

What happens next?

Start the form with your work email, then tell us about your team and the work. We reply within one business day to arrange a 30-minute consultation. That conversation establishes the context and the next step for an agreed scope; it does not commit your team to a program.

Your next step

Tell us what your team needs.

Start with your work email. The form then asks about your organisation and the work, so we can come to the 30-minute consultation prepared.
