AI Workshops & Training for Leadership and Teams

Generic prompt courses evaporate by Monday. Our workshops run on your systems and your data, so what your team learns is what your team ships.

Companies keep sending their people to AI courses, and the people keep coming back with prompt tricks, a certificate, and no change in how anything works. Two weeks later the enthusiasm is gone. The problem is not the trainees, it is that the course was about AI in general, and their work in particular never appeared in it.

An AI training workshop built on your real systems

Specialty Tokens runs AI workshops and training as the entry tier of our engagement model, the format we call Training, alongside Tech and Transformation. We are a forward-deployed AI engineering firm in Vienna, and the sessions are taught by the people who build production AI systems for clients: founders Nik Redl (strategy and delivery) and Thomas Schlossmacher (engineering and platform).

The defining choice is what the training runs on. Not slides, not toy datasets, your systems. Before the workshop we connect approved AI tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, or Gemini to the tools your team already works in, through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). That means the exercises are your actual work: the report someone assembles every Monday, the inbox that gets triaged by hand, the data that gets copied between the CRM and a spreadsheet. Participants leave with automations that already run, in their own environment.

The program has two tracks, because leaders and operators need different things. The leadership track is about judgment: where AI genuinely carries business weight, what it costs, what to govern, and what to ignore, the questions a board or management team must answer before any budget makes sense. The operator track is hands-on: the people who run the processes learn to delegate the repetitive parts to AI, with the guardrails that make that safe.

We ran this kind of enablement with Speedinvest, the pan-European VC, a team whose job is judging technology, which sets a usefully high bar for the trainers.

A workshop is deliberately the smallest way to work with us, and it is designed to produce a next step rather than a warm feeling. Most sessions end with a shortlist of processes worth automating, ranked by effort and payoff. Some companies take that list and run with it themselves, everything we teach is theirs to keep, with no per-seat fees and no dependency on us. Others hand the top of the list to our AI agent development practice, or take the free AI self-assessment first to see the whole picture in writing.

Either way, the goal is the same: a team that stops treating AI as a course topic and starts treating it as a colleague.

What you get.

  • Your systems, not sandboxes

    Exercises run against the tools your team actually uses, the ERP, the CRM, the ticket queue, so the skills survive contact with real work.

  • A leadership track and an operator track

    Executives get the judgment questions, where AI carries weight, what it costs, what to govern. Operators get hands-on time building automations they keep.

  • Taught by the people who ship

    Founders Nik Redl and Thomas Schlossmacher run the sessions, the same people who build production AI systems for clients, not career trainers.

  • A bridge into building

    The best workshop outcome is a shortlist of processes worth automating. When you are ready, agent development picks up exactly there.

  • The first step of something bigger

    Training is the entry tier of our engagement model. When enablement should become an AI-native rollout, transformation is the next step.

Leadership

We get serious companies through the shift. Here's who leads it.

We run Specialty Tokens as one practice: engineers, consultants, and operators across strategy, integration, agents, and rollout. Our directors set the standard and stay close to the work: the people who scope an engagement are the people in the code, and accountability never leaves the room.

The practice behind them

  • Strategy & advisory

    Audits, roadmaps, and board-level briefings that turn AI ambition into a shippable plan.

  • Integration engineering

    Custom connectors and the MCP layer that wire AI into ERPs, CRMs, and legacy systems.

  • Agents & automation

    The agents and skills that run your workflows end-to-end on top of the integration layer.

  • Enablement & rollout

    Training, change management, and the production runs that make adoption stick.

FAQ

Common questions.

What does an AI training workshop at Specialty Tokens cover?

Two tracks. Leadership sessions cover where AI actually carries business weight, what it costs, and how to govern it, grounded in the company's own processes rather than industry anecdotes. Team sessions are hands-on: operators work with approved AI tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, or Gemini against the company's real systems and data, and build automations they keep.

How is this different from a generic prompt-engineering course?

Generic courses teach techniques in a sandbox, and the skills rarely survive contact with real work. Specialty Tokens builds each workshop around the client's actual systems, ERP, CRM, accounting, support, so participants leave with working automations in their own environment, not with a certificate and a list of prompt tricks.

Who should attend, leadership or the whole team?

Ideally both, in separate formats. Leadership needs the judgment to decide where AI is worth deploying and how to govern it; operators need the hands-on ability to use it well. Adoption sticks when decisions and skills land together, which is why Specialty Tokens runs the two tracks as parts of one program.

Can a workshop lead into implementation?

Yes, that is the design. Training is the entry tier of Specialty Tokens' engagement model, followed by Tech (integrations, agents, MCP) and Transformation (embedded, end-to-end AI-native rollout). A workshop typically ends with a shortlist of processes worth automating, which a build engagement can pick up directly.

Do participants need a technical background?

No. The operator sessions are built for the people who run the processes, finance, operations, support, sales, using approved AI tools connected to their systems. Specialty Tokens handles the technical wiring; participants focus on the work itself.
