With AI, it’s not an option to opt-out. So, the question really is:
How can you opt-in successfully?
Alcea works with your organisation, bringing your people together to learn, engage, and own the AI journey for their teams and organisation.
We have designed a three-stage setup and adoption process for AI tools that guide everyone in your business through the introduction to and solution of artificial intelligence – working with your teams, including them, every step of the way.
Adopting artificial intelligence into your business is a transition into the future. There are three stages to introducing and implementing AI tools successfully into your organisation.

In the third and final phase of AI tool adoption, following the deployment of the AI tool, three key activities remain. Support, measurement tracking, and capturing lessons learned. 

Should your team need additional support to make the most of the new tool to increase and continue developing efficiencies of working, we are on hand to support as needed. This is the time to complete the measurement and tracking of the project and assess its success based on the criteria agreed upon in phase one.

I am the Queen of Reinvention, certified in Human Design and Emotional Intelligence. I’m also a long-time student of Abraham Hicks (The Law of Attraction). Entrepreneurs hire me because secretly, they know they’re capable of so much more, but either they don’t know what’s stopping them from taking the next move or they do and they’re ignoring their intuition. Is this YOU? That’s totally normal. That’s where all my clients begin. I like to ask challenging questions, so let’s start. Do you value yourself? Do you fantasise about a different or much better life when you have space and time for yourself? I’ve been here myself Friends and colleagues would say to me - you’re so successful, how do you do it? But I didn’t feel successful. I had nothing other than my work. I’d worked globally in the boardrooms of several blue-chip companies, as an Executive Coach and team-building expert. I was highly trained and knew I was talented. Twenty years ago I was using some pretty advanced energy and play techniques which got great results. I helped grown men in grey suits get out of their heads and into their gut and their intuition. I had great fun at work. Away from that environment, I had a secret life going on in my head which meant I was desperately trying to find someone to love me. In 2013 I began dating my husband, John. We dated way back in 1983 and somehow 30 years later, John discovered me online. That&apos;s a story for another time. I found John and the Law of Attraction at the same time. Neither of us was in a good place, but we made a promise to ourselves that we were going to help each other, communicate openly and find happiness together. The Law of Attraction most definitely helped us both examine our behaviour and what we were attracting, but it wasn’t until I was introduced to Human Design that the magic happened. I began to see I wasn’t valuing my uniqueness. I began to see I was hiding and keeping myself small. I began to see the life that I’d kept secret from others WAS how I was meant to be As The Queen of Reinvention, I help women understand their uniqueness and how to make their secret life come true.
