Before buying, head office decides which tasks the companies do in the same way and which need separate exercises. At Syntalith team training costs from €1,150 net a day. With 20 people each saving 1 hour a week, it pays back in 0.4 months after licence costs.

The same customer request, two correct replies
Two companies practise replying to a customer who asks to move a date. In the first, the author gives the date from the operations confirmation. In the second, the author first collects the availability of the contractors. The shared discussion is about a clear reply and its sources, but the drafts come from different materials, and the reader in each company judges how useful they are.
A similar job title does not mean identical work. Two purchasing departments may both prepare comparisons of offers, but one compares services and the other compares parts for production. The shared skill is defining the question, choosing the sources and checking the basis of the conclusion. The CIPD describes learning needs at the level of the person, the team and the organisation and recommends looking at them together.

Payback of a €1,150 training

The hours saved are the scenario's assumption, which we check by timing the tasks before the training and after 30 days. €34.90 an hour is the EU average hourly labour cost for 2025 according to Eurostat. Claude Team licences at $20 per person a month, at the ECB rate of 1.1205 USD per euro on 22 October 2026.
We measure the hours in the scenario before the training and after 30 days, on the same team tasks. If after a month checking AI texts takes as long as writing from scratch, we change the exercises or the scope of the tool.
According to a study in Science (2023), ChatGPT cut the time 453 professionals spent on writing tasks by 40%. In a group of companies we measure this effect separately in each company, because the tasks differ in their materials.
One shared course or separate sessions
Splitting the practice by task is often more sensible than a separate course for each company, and in other cases the differences justify separate sessions. It is worth assessing AI skill levels regardless of the company, because each one has beginners and experienced users. Taking part in one group does not mean that all the companies approve the same tools and data. The class can run in ChatGPT or Claude, if the company approves them for work.

Where to start
We prepare the proposal after a call with head office and representatives of the companies. For the call, describe the tasks of two companies you want to cover with a shared programme. We run the workshop as part of team training. For the free analysis, a description of one task the team does every week and of the tools it uses is enough. You get the written training programme within 2 working days.
