Live workshop · 20 September 2026
Not another AI talk.
Two hours, live, with the two people who've run more than 50 of these for New Zealand businesses. You'll leave knowing which parts of your operation AI should touch first, which parts to leave alone, and what it would genuinely cost to do it properly.
20 September 2026 · 11am NZST · 2 hours · Recording included
Session detail
The software behind these teams was built by the people running this session.
Who this is for
This is for you if.
You run a business with a team, probably 20 people or more. Your people are using ChatGPT or Claude in pockets, and nothing has changed on the P&L. You've been told to "do something with AI" and you'd like that something to survive contact with a Monday. You don't want a tool list. You want to know what's worth doing, in what order, and what it costs.
If you're after someone to promise you an AI brain by lunchtime, this isn't it. Two hours is not enough time to transform a business. It is enough time to work out which three things are worth doing, and which twenty aren't.
The session
What we cover.
Where AI actually earns its keep inside a business your size, and the four places it reliably doesn't. We'll unwind the hype cycle while we're at it.
Ten-plus tools run live against real problems, not demos. You'll watch the work happen and you'll do some of it yourself in the room.
How to tell a task from a job. AI can write the LinkedIn post. It cannot decide what your business should be saying. Getting that line right is the whole game.
Outcomes, not notes
What you walk away with.
A one-page "next moves" doc for your business: three things to try this week, and what to ignore.
A custom GPT or automation you built during the session, not a handout you'll read later.
An honest read on which of your workflows are worth building software around, and which just need a decision.
Real numbers on what a build costs and how long it takes, from people who ship them every week.
The recording, so the people who couldn't make it can catch up.
Credentials
A delivery partner on the Government's AI Advisory Pilot.
The AI Advisory Pilot is an MBIE programme delivered through the Regional Business Partner Network. Eligible New Zealand businesses can have half the cost of expert AI support co-funded, up to $15,000. Incredible is one of a small group of providers delivering that work, and we were working with roughly ten of the first fifty businesses on the programme.
We'll explain how it works on the day, including whether your business is likely to qualify and who to talk to. Applications go through your Regional Business Partner, not through us.
$15,000 co-funding cap
The Government pays up to half
Co-funding of up to 50% of eligible AI advisory costs, capped at $15,000 per business. The pilot was expanded from 50 businesses to 150 and extended to 31 January 2027.
Source: MBIE and Beehive announcements, May 2026. Eligibility and places are limited, so confirm current terms with your Regional Business Partner.
The maths
What $195 gets you.
Our in-house team workshop runs at $295 a head with a minimum room. This is the same material, live and online, at a price a single curious CEO can justify without a business case.
One seat covers one person. If you want the whole leadership team in, talk to us about running it onsite instead.
Proof
The same thinking, in the real world.
We don't teach a framework we don't use. Everything in the session comes out of work we've shipped for New Zealand businesses this year.
1 to 2 min
Quote prep, down from 60+
A mobile-first quoting app for field reps. They now close deals in the room with the customer instead of going back to the office.
Tennant · Industrial cleaning equipment
15+ hrs
Freed every week
An AI layer watching three systems and keeping them honest. Week-long billing cycles became same-day.
Vertosa · Beverage distribution
125+
Apps shipped
Twenty years of building software, 50+ workshops delivered, and about 350 businesses through the room. We turn down roughly a quarter of the projects we're offered.
Incredible, since 2019

Paul ButtonGeneral Manager, Canopy Tours
Who's running it
Your hosts.
Not a facilitator reading someone else's slides. Both co-CEOs are in the room for every session, which is also why there are only so many of them.

Co-CEO · Technical
Twenty years in technology with two businesses built and sold along the way. Leads the technical team and was profiled by the NZ Herald as an AI trailblazer. No religious preferences about which tool wins.
Stephen Johnson
Co-CEO · Product
A software background spanning Fortune 50 companies and Y Combinator startups. Spends most of his week inside other people's operations working out which problems are worth solving and which are noise.
