gap

// the real problem

It's not that your teams don't use AI. They do. Individually, inconsistently, and often without knowing what happens to the data they feed into external tools.

01

Beneficiary data entered into ChatGPT because someone needed a quick translation and didn't think it through. No protocol. No shared understanding of where the data goes.

02

Five staff writing the same sitrep five different ways. None using the prompt structure that would cut preparation time in half. The efficiency gains AI should deliver aren't materialising.

03

AI outputs treated as final. Hallucinations in donor reports, incorrect figures in logistics summaries, no verification step. The tool is used. The methodology isn't.

04

Zero institutional memory. When the person who figured it out leaves, the knowledge leaves with them. No shared prompt library. No internal reference. Nothing that survives a staff rotation.

// engagement formats

From a half-day introduction to a full organisational programme.

Every format is built from your actual documents and workflows. It is not adapted from a generic catalogue. The depth of the engagement depends on what your organisation needs and what it is ready for.

HALF-DAY · 3 HOURS · ALL STAFF

Introduction session

A focused entry point for teams that want to understand what AI can and cannot do before committing to a full programme. AI landscape, hallucination risks, data protection basics and a first live exercise on your own documents.

Deliverable — shared data protocol draft
FULL DAY · 2×3H · TARGETED DEPARTMENT

Department module

One department, one day. A 30-minute pre-session scoping with the department head defines which tasks to target — sitreps, financial summaries, procurement files, field reports. Every exercise runs on your actual files. The session produces a prompt library your team uses the following week.

Deliverable — department-specific prompt library
10-WEEK CYCLE · 9 SESSIONS · FULL ORGANISATION

Full programme

Compliance before productivity. Foundation before specialisation. Two all-staff sessions establish the shared language and data protection baseline. Six department modules build the specific workflows. A closing session produces the institutional reference your organisation needs to sustain adoption independently.

Deliverables — 6 prompt libraries · AI reference guide · lessons learned

// 10-week programme

Three layers. One sequence. Deliberate.

The order is not arbitrary. Compliance before productivity. Shared language before department-specific toolkits. Foundation before specialisation. Each layer depends on the one before it.

ReplicationOther missions on request
Week 1
Pre-programme scoping
A 30-minute intake with each department head. Pain points, highest-volume tasks, existing tool usage, data sensitivity profile. This is what makes the content work. Not a generic curriculum — a programme defined by your actual workflows.
Wk 2–3
Foundation curriculum — all staff
Session 1: AI landscape, ethics, bias, hallucination risks, what changes in daily workflows. Session 2: data protection, GDPR obligations, what goes into an AI tool and what never does. Every participant leaves with a draft data protocol for their department.
Wk 4–9
Specialised modules — one per department
Finance, Logistics, Procurement, Operations & Programme, Coordination, Technical. Each session targets the high-volume tasks identified in scoping. Every module produces one prompt library, tested against real department files, retained permanently by the organisation.
Week 10
Closing session — all staff
No new tools introduced. Cross-team lessons learned, updated AI reference guide, recommendations for next steps. The institutional memory the organisation needs to sustain adoption independently — after handover.

// specialised modules

One session per department. Content defined by your workflows, not a standard curriculum.

"A finance module built on generic templates wastes three hours. A finance module built on your actual reporting formats changes how the team works the following week."

S3 · FINANCE

Finance

Budget tracking, financial reporting, variance analysis, donor financial templates. AI-assisted drafting of financial summaries and reconciliation notes without exposing sensitive figures to external tools.

S4 · LOGISTICS

Logistics

Waybills, stock reports, supply chain documentation, movement tracking summaries. Structuring and synthesising logistics data at speed — without manual reformatting.

S5 · PROCUREMENT

Procurement

RFQ drafting, supplier communication, procurement reports, compliance documentation. Accelerating the document cycle without losing audit-trail quality.

S6 · OPERATIONS & PROGRAMME

Operations & Programme

Sitreps, 5W/4W matrices, proposal narratives, indicator tracking, field reports. The highest documentation workload in any humanitarian mission — and the clearest gain from structured AI-assisted drafting.

S7 · COORDINATION

Coordination

Meeting prep, stakeholder briefs, talking points, inter-agency communication. Synthesising inputs from multiple partners into coherent, sendable outputs in minutes rather than hours.

S8 · TECHNICAL

Technical & Expertise

Technical report drafting, literature synthesis, guidelines adaptation, training materials. For technical staff who carry significant writing workloads — and who can reclaim that time without sacrificing quality.

// who this is for

Organisations that carry high documentation volumes and operate where data sensitivity is a real concern.

This programme is not for tech teams. It is for the people who write the sitreps, manage the budgets, coordinate the supply chains — and who have been told AI is useful without ever being shown exactly how, and without anyone explaining what to do when it gets the data wrong.

Head of Mission
Understand what AI adoption looks like in your mission before it happens informally. Build the governance framework that makes it consistent and safe across departments.
Programme Director
Cut sitrep and donor report preparation time without lowering quality. Spend the hours reclaimed on decisions that require human judgment.
MEAL Coordinator
Automate the structural work in assessment analysis, indicator tracking, and monitoring reports. Build prompt-based workflows your team can run independently.
Department Head
Identify the two or three tasks in your department's weekly workload where AI delivers an immediate, measurable gain — and build the protocol to use it consistently.

// what this is not

Not this

A generic AI awareness session adapted for the humanitarian sector

Built for another audience and rebranded. No sitrep examples. No 4W files. No understanding of donor templates or beneficiary data obligations. Participants leave knowing what AI is. Not how their organisation should use it.

This

A programme built from your files, your workflows, and your organisation's actual risk profile

Every exercise runs on documents your teams produce. Every prompt is tested against your reporting formats. Every module produces a deliverable your organisation owns permanently. Participants leave with a working toolkit, not a certificate.

Not this

An ongoing managed service that creates dependency on an external provider

Kanon builds and transfers. It does not manage. The prompt libraries, the reference guide, the data protocols. Everything is yours at handover. The programme is designed to make itself unnecessary.

This

Institutional ownership from day one

At the end of the programme, your organisation has the shared language, the department-specific toolkits, and the internal protocols to sustain AI adoption without external support. Staff rotations don't reset the clock. The knowledge stays.

Tell me about your organisation. We'll take it from there.

A short message: your sector, team size, and the documentation workload that costs your teams the most time. That's enough to scope a first conversation. No form. No pitch deck. A direct exchange about whether this programme fits your context.

Response within 24 hours. For the 10-week programme, a scoping call with your operations or HR lead is the natural next step. For a half-day or department module, a brief exchange is usually enough.
