About

A trainer who does the work.

Jeff Honey · Founder & lead trainer

I started AI Training because most businesses now have AI tools, and very few people have been shown how to use them on their real work. I build with these tools for clients every week, so that's what I teach.

Finance first, then data, then AI

An accountant who builds the tools, and teaches them.

I'm an accountant by trade. I spent years in banking and commercial finance before founding Decision Lab, where I work hands-on across AI and automation, Power BI and custom software.

That background shapes how I train. I've sat where your finance, operations and leadership teams sit, so the examples come from real work: month-end commentary, board papers, supplier emails, messy spreadsheets. Not party tricks.

When I run a session, the person in the room is the person who does this for a living. You get straight answers about what each tool is good at, what it gets wrong, and what's safe to put into it.
