Certified Partner programme

Your clients ask what to do about AI. Now you can show them, and prove it worked.

The Groundwork Certified Partner programme gives independent advisors an adoption platform with real usage telemetry, an engineering bench behind them, and a credential clients can check. Groundwork is built by Future Workshops.

Actual client team, anonymised. 87% not using AI in week one. Twelve weeks later, none.

“Clients buy me.”

Which is flattering, right up until you try to take a holiday or grow past your own diary.

“Everyone's an AI consultant now.”

And your clients can't tell who actually knows what they're doing.

“The workshop landed. Then nothing.”

You leave, habits fade, and there's no evidence trail and no recurring revenue.

What certification gets you

01

A credential that separates you.

Groundwork Certified Partner: 18 years of Future Workshops delivery behind it. Listed in our partner directory, badge for your LinkedIn profile.

02

A platform that does the repeatable part.

Weekly personalised coaching reports for every person, built from real Claude usage, plus an org-level adoption dashboard your client's board can read. Your sessions start from what actually happened last week.

03

An engineering bench behind you.

When your client needs a connector into their finance system or a production tool, Future Workshops builds it. You stay the trusted advisor; we're your delivery muscle.

04

Deal flow both ways.

Your clients are registered and protected: yours, permanently. And when we meet a company that fits your niche, we pass it to you. It happened in our first partner meeting.

Open doors with the Groundwork Baseline.

As a partner you can offer any qualifying client their organisation's adoption chart, free, within a week. You run the debrief; the chart does the convincing. It's the easiest first yes in AI consulting.
