Are you driving a Ferrari like a go-kart?

AI tools like Claude aren't just chatbots. They're operational infrastructure — capable of reading your email, managing your calendar, drafting documents, running analysis, and executing work in the background while you sleep. Most people are using about 5% of what's available.

Here are some signs you're treating your AI like a go-kart when it's really a Ferrari:

You haven't given your AI any context about who you are, what you do, or how you work

You haven't built any skills — reusable instructions that let AI handle recurring tasks automatically

You haven't connected AI to the platforms where you actually work (email, calendar, Slack, your CRM, your accounting system)

You haven't scheduled any work to run on your behalf in the background

You tell it what to do step by step instead of describing the outcome you want

You copy-paste between tools instead of letting AI move information for you

You use AI for one-off questions but never for repeatable workflows

If three or more of those sound familiar, you're leaving serious productivity on the table. The good news: it's fixable in a day.

AI Enablement Training — $1,500/person

3-person minimum ($4,500). One day to change how your team works.

6-Hour Hands-On Workshop

In-person or virtual. This is not a lecture. Your team will use Claude to solve real problems from their actual roles — live, in the room, with guidance.

Pre-Work Requirement

Every participant submits a real challenge before the session: "This is something I struggle with — I want AI to help." We build the training around your team's actual pain points.

David's AI Cookbook

A curated prompt library, framework guide, and tool recommendation set your team keeps permanently. The reference manual that keeps people productive after the training ends.

Tailored AI Playbook

A next-steps document specific to your business — where AI fits today, what to prioritize next, and what to build toward. This isn't generic advice. It's a roadmap.

3 Weeks of Group Office Hours

2 hours per week. Bring questions, share wins, troubleshoot problems. The peer learning that happens here accelerates adoption faster than any solo effort.

2 Hours of 1-on-1 Coaching

Per person. Bring your actual work — your messy spreadsheet, your real email workflow, your reporting process — and we'll build AI into it together.

All office hours and 1-on-1 coaching must be used within 30 days of training.

How It Works

01

Submit your challenge

Each participant identifies a real workflow they want AI to improve. This becomes the foundation of the training.

02

Train together

A full-day, hands-on session where your team learns to work with Claude effectively — from prompting fundamentals to advanced workflow automation. Real examples from your submitted challenges are worked through live.

03

Lock it in

Office hours and 1-on-1 coaching over the next 30 days ensure AI becomes part of how your team actually works — not a one-day novelty that fades by Friday.

Your state may help pay for this.

Many states offer workforce development grants that can cover part or all of professional AI training costs. In Louisiana, McCandless Consulting is a registered provider with Elite Training, which helps organizations access state funds for exactly this kind of program. Similar programs exist across the country — if you're in Texas, Arkansas, Mississippi, or elsewhere, ask us and we'll help you explore your options.

AI Enablement for Software Development Teams

Training business users is where we start. But McCandless Consulting has also enabled software development professionals in AI adoption across organizations of all sizes — from small businesses to publicly traded companies.

Whether your engineering team is integrating Claude into code review, accelerating development workflows, building AI-powered features, or standing up agentic systems — we can help.

Engineering engagements are scoped to your team's specific stack and needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does our data stay private?

Yes. Claude's Team and Enterprise plans do not use your data for model training. Enterprise adds custom data retention (including zero-retention options) and SOC 2-aligned audit capabilities.

What's the minimum cost to get started with Claude?

Claude Team plan is $25/user/month (monthly) or $20/user/month (annual). Minimum 5 seats. A 10-person pilot costs roughly $200–250/month. No long-term contract required.

What about enterprise controls (SSO, SCIM, audit logs)?

Claude Enterprise requires approximately 50+ seats and a 12-month commitment with custom pricing via Anthropic sales. Includes SAML 2.0 / OIDC SSO, SCIM provisioning, domain capture, role-based access, and custom data retention.

Can we start on Team and upgrade later?

Yes. Team is the natural pilot tier. Migrate to Enterprise when seat count and control requirements justify it.

What about employees using free or personal AI accounts today?

That's exactly the risk this addresses. The most common scenario is employees using free ChatGPT or Claude accounts without verifying data training settings — which means company data may be used to train AI models. A Team workspace gives IT visibility, control, and a training-excluded-by-default environment.

Does this require IT infrastructure work?

No. Claude is fully hosted — nothing to install or maintain. Team plan setup takes about 15 minutes with a credit card. No sales call, no contract negotiation, no infrastructure.
