Connectus Business Solutions is running a series of free workshops alongside Automated Analytics to help SMEs to become AI ready and resilient.
The workshops aim to break down complex technologies into actionable next steps for business owners and decision-makers and will address sector-specific concerns such as cost, skills, job displacement, and regulatory uncertainty.
The free sessions are being held throughout the second half of 2025 at locations across the north of England and the Midlands kicking off at the home of Doncaster Knights, Castle Park, Doncaster on the 18th of September.
Connectus explains the need for education measures, citing the desire of 45% of SMEs to integrate AI solutions by mid-2025, despite nearly half of leaders still reporting a lack of confidence, skills, or support required to use AI effectively.
CEO Roy Shelton said: “AI is no longer the domain of multinationals and tech giants. It has become a foundational capability for future-ready businesses of all sizes, But for many SMEs, the path to adoption remains unclear.”
“We view this as part of our wider responsibility. By demystifying the most advanced technologies, we’re helping SMEs unlock sustainable growth through responsible AI integration and by working with Automated Analytics we can achieve great change.”
