Start with your problem

What is it costing you?

Professional servicesYour firm's AI strategy is stalling on skills61% of firms abandoned at least one AI initiative in the past year for lack of internal skills, and partners are the least AI-prepared group in the firm. Every stalled initiative is licence spend, partner time and client credibility already committed.

Professional servicesYour people are already using AI your firm hasn't approvedA third of lawyers, accountants and compliance professionals use AI tools their firm has not approved, and 91% believe their organisation is falling short of what AI can deliver. The cost of leaving it unsolved is not a fine on a schedule — it is unmanaged confidentiality, quality and disclosure risk on live client work, discovered late.

Government & public sectorAI adoption is blocked by people and foundations, not technology70% of government bodies cite difficulty recruiting and retaining AI skills as a barrier to adoption, and only 21% had an AI strategy. Programmes announced against that base slip quietly: the technology arrives, the institution cannot absorb it.

Healthcare & hospitalsRetention and workforce planning under a sustained shortageThe NHS vacancy deficit has been reported at over 112,000. Under that pressure, turnover and fragile small teams amplify every vacancy — the cost of weak retention and forecasting is paid in cancelled capacity and burnt-out teams, not just recruitment fees.

Finance & financial servicesAI is restructuring your workforce — the sector has committed to upskill it30–50% of tasks in most financial-services roles face significant automation, and the sector must recruit and retrain around 450,000 highly skilled workers over the next decade. The Financial Services Skills Compact commits signatory firms to upskill their entire UK workforce in AI over a rolling three years — a commitment with a named senior executive accountable for it.

Finance & financial servicesReporting itself is changing underneath your finance functionIFRS 18 takes effect in January 2027. A finance function that learns the new basis late does the work twice under deadline pressure — once on the old presentation, once on the new — in the first reporting cycle where there is no slack.
From a recent LRA programme
Leadership & managementFour in five of your managers were never trained to manage82% of UK managers entered management with no formal management or leadership training, and roughly one in three workers has left a job because of a poor manager. Untrained management is not a soft problem: it is paid for in turnover, grievances and lost output, team by team.
From a recent LRA programme
Leadership & managementYour managers cannot yet turn AI spend into productivityOnly 5% of managers report transformational gains from AI and 26% report none at all, while 68% of organisations are still experimenting or piloting. The licence spend is committed either way — the missing layer is managers confident enough to lead adoption team by team.
From a recent LRA programme
Leadership & managementProject delivery capability is a national bottleneck'Determining project requirements and plans' is one of the three most in-demand technical skills across Skills England's 150 priority occupations, and only 38% of business leaders say it is easy to find project professionals with the right skills — down from 62% months earlier.
Hospitality & tourismHospitality's people problem is structural — hiring alone will not fix itHotels and restaurants have the highest skills-gap rate of any UK sector — 6.2% of staff judged not fully proficient — and the gap sits inside the workforce you already employ. Every avoidable departure takes service consistency with it, and guests can tell.Hospitality & tourismIn the Gulf, human capital is hospitality's number-one priorityUN Tourism's Middle East member states ranked human capital shortages as their #1 priority for 2026–27. Properties that open without that workforce pay for it in service failures at exactly the moment a new destination is being judged.

EducationWorkload is the pressure pushing experienced teachers towards the doorFull-time teachers average 50.1 hours a week, and two-thirds (66%) of staff who had considered leaving over wellbeing pressures gave volume of workload as the main reason. Every experienced teacher who walks takes subject knowledge and pupil relationships that recruitment cannot quickly replace.

EducationAI arrived in your classrooms before your governance did49% of schools have no AI policy at all and 66% have none covering student use, even as two-fifths of teachers already use AI in their work. Ungoverned use is where the safeguarding incident, the data breach and the malpractice case are currently incubating.

Why this academy exists

A lifetime of building learning — now building AI-native companies.

  1. First courses — 1999 and 2000

    Hajre Hyseni has been an educational entrepreneur all his working life. He launched his first courses in 1999 and 2000 — and the instinct then is the instinct now: people learn technology by building with it, on real work.

  2. The first online learning platform

    At IPKO he led the team that designed the first online learning platform. It won an EU award for most innovative platform — early proof that learning, built properly, travels.

  3. Redesigning London e-commerce

    In London he led redesign work on leading e-commerce sites — Paul Smith, Virgin Vouchers, ECB Cricket, Carers, Cucina Direct and more — inside the years when buying online became normal, and organisations learned that new technology only pays when their people do.

  4. AI-native companies, today

    London Royal Academy is where that work points now: helping companies build AI-native companies — leaders and teams learning AI by building with it, on their own real work, until it is how the company runs.

That is the whole story — and it is also the method: the team behind the academy brings over 35 years of combined experience to it. Sessions work on real artefacts — your documents, your workflows — not slideware. The method is Understand → Experiment → Apply → Embed. Read the academy's story →
