Alcea Consulting Limited
Hi, I’m Rachel! After 25 years in education as a teacher, trainer, and facilitator, I’ve always been passionate about creating engaging learning experiences. My journey into AI began when I discovered tools that helped me teach diverse groups of children, enhancing their learning and tailoring support to their unique needs. Seeing the transformative power of AI in education ignited my excitement for how it can empower individuals and businesses alike. Now, I’m thrilled to bring that expertise to Alcea, helping SMEs discover the power of AI to innovate and grow. Outside of work, you’ll find me on a country walk, spending time with my teenage children, or gardening ideally with a well-earned cuppa. Let’s chat about how AI can transform your business!

Beyond the buzz: Building strategic, safe and human-centred AI adoption in your business
AI adoption isn’t a technology project; it’s a business transformation. At Alcea, we believe that unlocking AI’s true value starts with two things, your business strategy and your people, not the software. In this session, we’ll share how aligning AI with real-world use cases that serve your business goals delivers meaningful results. But strategy alone isn't enough. The mindset of your leadership team: curious, open, and unafraid to explore, is crucial. We’ll explore why C-suite buy-in, paired with organisation-wide awareness and upskilling, sets the stage for AI that is safe, ethical, and impactful. From boardroom to front line, every team member plays a role in making AI work and keeping your data safe. Join us to learn how taking everyone on the journey, from strategic clarity to cultural readiness, drives sustainable productivity, smarter decisions, and future-fit businesses.
