Creative Ideaz Launches Birmingham AI Bootcamp

Creative Ideaz, a Birmingham-based digital marketing and transformation firm, announced on November 4 the launch of a half-day, in-person AI Bootcamp for business owners, managing directors and CEOs. The programme is designed to help leaders identify practical uses for AI in their organisations. The announcement follows the UK government’s 2026 AI Adoption Survey, published October 29, which found that 32% of UK businesses used at least one AI technology, up from 16% in 2025. AI use was concentrated in administration, marketing and IT, while many businesses remained at an early or exploratory stage.

Creative Ideaz said the Bootcamp addresses the gap between awareness and implementation through live demonstrations, business-process exercises and hands-on use of an AI assistant. Participants examine repetitive or slow tasks where AI and automation may be worth investigating. The government survey found that 71% of businesses using or planning to use AI cited improving efficiency and productivity as a reason for adoption. Among businesses that had adopted AI, 67% reported limited skills, expertise or knowledge as a barrier; the figure was 78% among businesses planning adoption. Among non-adopters, 65% cited the lack of a clear business case or proven return on investment.

The survey also found that 81% of businesses using or planning to use AI apply some level of human input or oversight to AI-generated outputs. Kash Sangha, Creative Ideaz’s group program director and co-founder, said business leaders need practical ways to determine where AI is useful in their own operations. The company says the session helps participants distinguish potential uses from “noise” and leave with areas to explore further.

The session requires no technical background and covers familiar tasks including email, administration, enquiries, reporting and follow-up. Participants can try an AI assistant on a task of their own and identify repetitive, slow or error-prone processes in their working week. Creative Ideaz says the session does not deploy a complete AI system; it is intended to help decision-makers choose a direction and decide which opportunities need deeper investigation.

The Bootcamp is held at 10 Brindley Place in Birmingham, costs £149 per seat at the published price, and keeps cohorts small for questions and practical discussion. Attendees may then join a Business Process Map session to identify relevant uses for AI and automation, or a more detailed AI Discovery Day for larger businesses, which reviews processes across departments and assesses opportunities against commercial impact and implementation requirements.

The government survey said adoption is expected to remain incremental, with businesses testing and piloting before deeper integration; 65% of businesses using or planning to use AI expect AI-related budgets to increase. It also found that 81% use AI in administration, 71% in marketing and 66% in IT. Half of current adopters reported an overall productivity increase, which the survey described as mostly incremental rather than transformational. Creative Ideaz presents the Bootcamp as a low-commitment starting point before investment in software, automation projects or wider digital transformation.
