AI Retreat (Oxford) Designing AI Models
About the retreat
The Artificial Intelligence Retreat shows you how to unlock the output of 200 staff using the team you already have. In just two days—no tech team required—you’ll develop an AI Business Plan and learn to automate the boring 60%, reclaim hours each week, and gain the competitive edge your rivals.
No tech team. Practical AI that pays for itself
While You're Fire-Fighting, Your Competitors are Cloning Themselves
As a business owner you will be juggling phones, buried in daily operations whilst competitors
are more relaxed, leveraging AI for growth. With the same headcount it's different maths - they've automated the boring 60%. This course will show you how.
A Unique Opportunity for B4 Members
Artificial Intelligence Retreat is a practical training and mentoring programme by B4 Platinum members Erdos Research built for businesspeople who can’t afford to pause their business but also can’t afford to fall behind.
This isn’t a generic course or a vendor pitch.
It’s designed to give you the three things every CEO needs to win:
- Top 1% Strategic Understanding: Cut through the noise and the hype to get the absolute clarity you need to lead. No confusion, just confidence.
- A Custom AI Business Plan for your Organisation: Forget templates and checklists, build a map around your specific workflows, your constraints, your customers, and your competitive landscape. This is the difference between guessing and winning.
- The Ability to Pick the RIGHT Opportunities: Thousands of companies are wasting money on the wrong tools and projects with zero ROI. Learn exactly where the profit is—and where it isn’t.
Typical opportunity:
- Capacity Unlocked: Three hours of admin a day disappeared.
- ROI Achieved: Course paid for itself in time savings.
- Growth Enabled: Now pitching for bigger contracts as capacity is no longer the brake.
