Have a look at these links to find out more.

More on A.icehouse:
"You don’t need to master every new app, platform or update. You need practical and pragmatic AI knowledge that powers your business to navigate the evolution AI is asking of you.
AI is moving faster than leaders can follow. It can feel overwhelming, noisy, and hard to know what really matters.
A.icehouse is designed to give Kiwi SME owners and senior teams clarity, in practical and tangible ways. No hype. No waffle. We focus on AI literacy and skills first, then layer in the tools so you can build the confidence to make better informed decisions.
Back in 2000, Icehouse helped SMEs make sense of the internet and the knowledge era. Today, with applied AI expertise from Ten Past Tomorrow, we’re helping businesses make sense of AI and the intelligence era.
In A.icehouse you’ll find:
Plain-English explanations and demonstrations to build AI
literacy around what AI is, what it isn’t, and how it is reshaping
business models and industries, right now.
Practical AI skill training, so you yourselves become powerful
users of frontier AI tools to drive radical and immediate
efficiency and productivity in your own roles.
Pragmatic strategies and maps so you can drive the same AI-powered
efficiency and productivity as mentioned above, throughout your
entire organisation
Time-respectful sessions designed for busy leaders.
Honest conversations about unknowns and trade-offs, not hype or
silver bullets.
A mix of formats, from quick webinars, online courses, to live
in-person in-depth symposiums; so you can choose what fits your
time and needs.
A trusted partnership: Icehouse’s 20+ years of SME support with Ten
Past Tomorrow’s applied AI excellence."
