ArupThreeSixtyThe Problem With Most AI Training
Most corporate AI training fails because it teaches tools, not habits. Your team attends a workshop, tries ChatGPT for a week, then goes back to doing things the old way. The training checked a box. It didn’t change behavior.
My approach is different. Every workshop starts from your team’s actual workflows — the emails they write, the reports they build, the decisions they make. We redesign those workflows with AI integrated at each step. The result is behavior change that sticks because it’s tied to real work, not hypothetical demos.

Every format is customized to your industry, team size, and goals. Delivered in English or Cantonese.

How It Works
1. Discovery Call (Free, 30 min)
We discuss your team’s current AI usage, pain points, and goals. No commitment, no sales pitch.
2. Custom Workshop Design
I design the workshop around your team’s actual workflows, tools, and compliance requirements. You review and approve before we proceed.
3. Delivery
In-person or virtual. English or Cantonese. Half-day to multi-week programs. Your team leaves with workflows they can use on Monday morning.
4. Follow-Through
Post-workshop support to ensure adoption sticks. Pioneer Programs include weekly check-ins and real project coaching.
Signature Methodologies
Frameworks developed through real engagements, not textbooks. Each one solves a specific adoption problem.
Traffic Light Protocol
A data sensitivity framework for regulated industries. Green (public info), Yellow (internal, strip identifiers), Red (PII, full stop). Designed for instant decision-making.
See it in action →AI Pioneer Model
Train 10-20 curious, influential people deeply over weeks. They become internal champions who pull the rest of the organization forward. Scales faster than top-down mandates.
See it in action →70/30 Human-AI Split
Humans retain 70% ownership of thinking and decisions. AI handles 30% — first drafts, data synthesis, formatting. Prevents over-reliance while maximizing productivity gains.
See it in action →AI Maturity Model
A 4-stage framework: Awareness, Experimentation, Integration, Transformation. 80% of companies are stuck at Stage 1. The Pioneer Model moves them to Stage 2.

Hong Kong Government AI Training Support
The 2026-27 Budget earmarked HK$50 million for AI literacy and established a Committee on AI+ chaired by the Financial Secretary. While most measures target public awareness rather than corporate training, several funding paths are available:
- BUD Fund — Up to HK$150,000 per company for technology adoption, including AI training and implementation projects.
- Upskill Hong Kong (ERB) — The Employees Retraining Board is adding AI application courses to its curriculum for employed workers.
- RTTP — The Re-industrialisation and Technology Training Programme subsidizes up to 2/3 of training costs for technology-related programs.
Don’t wait for government programs to be fully rolled out. Companies that invest in structured AI training now will have a 12-18 month head start.

Most AI training teaches tools instead of workflows. Your team attends a workshop, tries ChatGPT for a week, then goes back to doing things the old way. The training checked a box but didn’t change behavior.
After 180+ workshops, the pattern is clear: one-off sessions produce awareness, not adoption. People forget 70% of new information within 24 hours. The fix isn’t better content — it’s a different structure.
The Pioneer Program model works because it’s built around change management principles: workflow-first exercises, weekly accountability, and internal champions who sustain adoption after the trainer leaves.

How much does corporate AI training cost in Hong Kong?
Pricing depends on format, duration, team size, and customization level. Half-day awareness workshops, full-day productivity sessions, and multi-week Pioneer Programs are all available. Contact for a custom quote. Some programs may qualify for TVP or other Hong Kong government funding schemes.
Are workshops available in Cantonese?
Yes. Sam delivers workshops in both English and Cantonese. Materials can be provided in English, Traditional Chinese, or bilingual formats. Most Hong Kong corporate clients prefer Cantonese delivery with English materials.
What makes this different from other AI training providers?
Three things: (1) Behavior change focus — workshops are designed around your team's actual workflows, not generic demos. (2) Practitioner-led — Sam uses AI daily in his own work and brings real examples. (3) Outcome measurement — participants report saving 5-8 hours per week after the Pioneer Program.
Can training be customized for our industry?
Every corporate engagement starts with a discovery call to understand your team's roles, tools, compliance requirements, and goals. Workshop exercises use your actual work scenarios — not textbook examples. Sam has delivered across banking, retail, engineering, education, tourism, and professional services.
How do I get started?
Book a free 30-minute discovery call to discuss your team's needs. No commitment, no sales pitch — just a conversation about whether training is the right next step for your organization.
Do you offer training outside Hong Kong?
Yes. Through Adaptig, Sam has a global trainer network spanning North America, Latin America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. In-person and virtual formats available. Bank of China engagement covered 13 countries.
