My name is Alan. I have spent 20 years running operations, not writing code. Now I use AI to run business processes and build my own tools, and I teach people like me to do the same.

Tools I made for the teams I ran, with no engineering background.
A timesheet app that replaced a paid tool: contractors log hours, managers approve them, and bills go straight into Xero.
A weekly plan that writes itself: every Friday at 3pm it reads the week's meeting actions and the calendar and posts next week's plan to Slack.
A policy-heavy government application, drafted with AI and checked by hand: three days of work in under three hours.

I am from the last generation to grow up without the internet, so I teach from zero and I do not skip the basics.
I have spent more than 20 years making businesses work. At a department store chain I co-led a redesign of back-office processes across 152 stores that saved £2.7m with no compulsory redundancies. I ran a healthcare region caring for more than 30,000 patients a year. As COO of a start-up I opened the world's largest, fastest city-centre zip wire, grew the team from 2 to more than 60 people twice, and served 75,000 customers with no serious incidents. Then I spent six years running operations at a childcare marketplace, where I halved the support team while the business kept growing.
I am not an engineer. I started using AI on the problems in my own job and built my own tools: an AI agent that tagged every support email and saved my team leads about 8 hours a week, and a timesheet and billing app that won the most creative prize at a demo day. Then I took the whole company with me. People saw the tools working before anyone asked them to change, and all 50 staff ended up using AI, more than half of them with advanced features.
I have spent much of my career on compliance, safeguarding and data protection, so I teach people to use AI without putting their employer at risk. I trained as a coach, I have developed managers for years, and I mentor Executive MBA students at Warwick Business School, where I earned my MBA with merit. My leadership purpose is to be "a guide through the currents, a hand to reach for and the inspiration to swim further". It is also a fair description of how I teach.
Away from work: rugby union, Deep Space Nine, and the Yorkshire pudding I am still trying to perfect.
No. Neither course assumes you have written code. If you can use email and a spreadsheet, you can do this.
Claude, made by Anthropic. You will need a Pro, Max, Team or Enterprise plan for either course, because we use features the free plan does not include. If your company already has Claude, you can use that.
Live, online, in a group of 4 to 8. Sessions are not recorded. If you miss one, you still receive the slides and handouts.
Both. The examples cover both, so it works whichever your company uses.
Yes. Pay by card and claim it back, or email hello@bittenbythevibe.com and I will invoice your employer.
Come to all four sessions. If it still has not been worth your time, tell me within 14 days of the last one and I will put it right with some one-to-one support. If you are still not satisfied after that, I will give you your money back.
If fewer than 4 people book, you can switch to another time slot or date.
