Human First by Design, the AWE Intelligence learning approach.
Our Approach

Human First by Design

The tools will keep changing. Our approach gives people a way to keep learning: practise on real tasks, question the output and take responsibility for the decision.

01
Pillar 1 of 3

Practical AI skills

Build confidence through relevant examples and hands-on practice. Learn how to frame a task, write useful prompts, evaluate responses and apply AI where it adds value.

02
Pillar 2 of 3

Conscious leadership

Connect AI adoption to purpose, responsibility and the people affected by it. Explore how to lead change, communicate clearly and make considered choices about what to automate, where to experiment and when to involve others.

03
Pillar 3 of 3

Awareness and human wisdom

Our approach draws on neuroscience and behavioural research, alongside ancient wisdom traditions. We bring practical AI learning together with reflection, meditation and optional breathwork practices, with the aim of cultivating attention, emotional awareness and more considered decisions. These practices create opportunities to pause, notice assumptions and consider another perspective before acting. They complement practical skills, evidence and professional judgement.

Learn through deliberate practice

  1. 01Clarify the challengedefine the decision, context and what a useful result would look like.
  2. 02Explore with AIask questions, develop options and test alternative perspectives.
  3. 03Question the answercheck evidence, assumptions, omissions and consequences.
  4. 04Decide and reflectmake your own judgement, act responsibly and learn from the result.

What informs the approach

01

Grounded in research on attention

Studies of meditation and structured breathing have looked at their effects on attention, stress, mood and decision-making. We draw on this work to shape how we teach.

02

Skills and presence together

We help people build steady habits of attention and reflection alongside their AI skills, so they bring a clear, calm mind to every decision.
