AI Business Upgrade programs

AI Business Upgrade Programs / AI 陪跑課程 for Hong Kong SMEs

AI 陪跑課程 is for SMEs that want structured business upgrade support, not another one-off AI class and not a software-first project. InnovateXP helps your team clarify SOPs, define KPIs, run practical AI trials, and decide whether automation, CRM, or SaaS is actually needed after the workflow is validated.

Bring one workflow you want to improve, or ask us to help identify the best starting point.

Target Audience

  • SME owners who want to adopt AI but do not know which workflow should come first.
  • Operations, sales, marketing, and admin teams that need hands-on support after training.
  • Schools or service businesses that want guided AI practice with real internal scenarios.
  • Teams that need a consultant to bridge business process, AI tools, and technical implementation.

Pain Points

  • AI ideas keep appearing in meetings, but no one owns the first real implementation.
  • The team needs confidence and review habits, not just a list of tools.
  • Existing workflows are messy, so automation needs process clarity before software.
  • Management needs visible progress without committing to a large transformation project too early.

Deliverables

  • AI workflow selection and readiness assessment.
  • Step-by-step implementation roadmap for one priority use case.
  • Advisory sessions with tasks, review checkpoints, and adoption feedback.
  • Prompt library, workflow documentation, and decision log.
  • Lightweight prototype or operating playbook depending on the chosen workflow.

Expected Outcomes

  • A real AI workflow moves from idea to tested operating habit.
  • The team learns how to use, review, and improve AI output responsibly.
  • Managers gain visibility into what can be automated next and what should stay manual.
  • The business builds internal AI capability instead of depending only on outsourced IT service.

AI Upgrade Program Pricing

Pricing is scoped around advisory programs first. Quick-cash offers and tool trials (EventXP HK$4,000, SmartSales HK$5,000) are separate entry points. Each package assumes one company and 3–5 core working participants. Discovery workshop attendance is HK$6,800 for up to 10 people, HK$13,600 for 11–30 people, and quoted separately for 31+. Venue cost is extra. Custom software, CRM setup, AI assistant development, large data moves, connections to other software, third-party tools, AI usage fees, servers, and subscriptions are quoted separately after the workflow and business case are validated.

30-day AI Upgrade Discovery Sprint

HK$6,800 (up to 10 people)

Best for a team that wants to validate one workflow before a larger program. Standard price covers up to 10 people. 11–30 people: HK$13,600. 31+ quoted separately. Venue cost is extra.

  • ✓One current workflow mapped from enquiry or trigger to completed outcome
  • ✓Baseline for time, delays, missed follow-up, rework, or other agreed measures
  • ✓A written decision on what to fix first and what not to buy yet
  • ✓A practical 30/60/90-day action plan

How we work

  1. 1.Complete a short questionnaire and agree on one workflow to examine.
  2. 2.Interview the owner and up to two people who actually do the work.
  3. 3.Map the current steps, handoffs, delays, repeated work, and decision points.
  4. 4.Review the findings together and choose the smallest useful next move.

What should improve

  • →Management sees where time, enquiries, or responsibility are being lost.
  • →The team agrees on one priority instead of debating a long tool list.
  • →You avoid buying software before ownership and success measures are clear.

3-month AI Upgrade Foundation

From HK$29,800 after diagnosis

Best for 3-5 core participants improving 1-2 workflows and building the first reviewable adoption result.

  • ✓Clear working steps, named owners, and handoff rules for 1–2 workflows
  • ✓Monthly planning, trial, measurement, and adjustment
  • ✓One practical team session using real work examples
  • ✓Monthly outcome summary with decisions and next actions

How we work

  1. 1.Set the starting measure and agree who owns each step.
  2. 2.Test the revised workflow with a small number of real cases.
  3. 3.Train the people involved, collect feedback, and fix the parts they avoid using.
  4. 4.Review results monthly and document a repeatable version the team can keep.

What should improve

  • →Less follow-up depends on one person's memory.
  • →Turnaround and handoffs become more consistent and easier to check.
  • →The team finishes with a working habit, not only a recommendation report.

6-month AI Upgrade Accelerator

From HK$58,000 after diagnosis

Best for a small core team or department representatives improving 3-4 related workflows that need adoption tracking and management visibility.

  • ✓Three to four related workflows across one team or department
  • ✓Rules for normal cases, exceptions, approvals, and cross-role handoffs
  • ✓Suitable system connections or AI support only where the business case is clear
  • ✓Up to two practical workshops and a management progress review

How we work

  1. 1.Prioritise the related workflows and set shared measures for the department.
  2. 2.Run improvements in short cycles, with staff testing each change in real work.
  3. 3.Connect existing tools only after the operating steps and owners are stable.
  4. 4.Give management a regular view of usage, delays, exceptions, and next decisions.

What should improve

  • →Several roles follow the same process instead of keeping separate versions.
  • →Management can see whether people are using the new way and where it breaks.
  • →The business gains evidence for scaling, pausing, or investing in a larger system.

FAQ

How is AI advisory different from AI training?
Training teaches concepts and hands-on tool usage. Advisory follows your team through implementation so one workflow becomes a repeatable operating habit.
Do we need technical staff?
Not always. Some sprints produce prompts, playbooks, and no-code workflows. More technical use cases can include chatbot prototypes, dashboards, or integrations.
How long does an AI 陪跑課程 take?
A focused sprint can start with four weeks. Larger workflows may continue with additional implementation cycles.
Can you work with our existing tools?
Yes. We start from your current workflow and select tools only where they support adoption, governance, and measurable improvement.
