Build Made Simple

You have an idea for a tool — a checker, a calculator, a scorecard — and no developer to build it. In this half-day workshop you build it yourself with Claude, step by step alongside Sheena, the same way she built the AI Readiness Tool. You leave with a working tool and the knowledge to build the next one.

Ideal for: People with ideas, not developers — you want a working AI tool without writing code.

Common questions

Questions, answered

The Adoption Lab is the training arm of Change Made Simple. It runs short, practical courses and workshops for people leading teams through change, with a focus on AI rollouts. Every programme is built around the questions that come up in real rollouts.

It's for team leads and managers whose teams have been given AI tools, the HR and people professionals supporting them, and consultants guiding clients through AI change. Most managers already lead their people well, and this gives you a method for leading them through a change this fast.

No. The programmes are about the people side of AI: how your team feels about it, what they need to hear, and how new habits form. Build Made Simple is the one hands-on build, and it is designed for people with ideas rather than developers.

Leading Your People Through AI Change is open now. It is a self-paced online course that takes 2.5 hours, costs A$249, and includes five modules, five worksheets and your own Detailed Change Action Plan. The three live programmes are coming soon, and dates are announced by email.

The online course gives you the full methodology in your own time. Leading Change, Live covers the same five steps in a half-day online session, where you work on your real project with your peers and live coaching. Ask Me Anything is a monthly live coaching session for people taking the online course. Build Made Simple is a separate half-day workshop where you build a working AI tool with Claude.

All programmes run online at the moment. If you would like the course or a workshop run in person for your organisation, get in touch and we can arrange it.

The self-paced course is A$249. Prices for the live workshops and coaching will be confirmed when dates are announced. If you would like to start for free, the AI Readiness Scorecard and the Change Action Plan are both on the Change Made Simple site with no sign-up.
