About Elansio
I help UK SMEs turn AI into team capability and real business improvement.
I am Nathan Jones, founder of Elansio. I help SME leaders and cross-functional teams understand AI in plain English, identify the right use cases, and apply AI safely in real work.
This is not AI training for the sake of tools. It is practical, human-first AI adoption that improves how your business works.
Through workshops, advisory support, and structured follow-through, I help teams move from uncertainty and scattered experimentation to shared language, better decisions, and measurable progress.
Why I do this
SMEs create jobs. They serve communities. They take risks that larger companies will not. They deserve the same advantages that AI brings to the biggest players.
I have spent 10+ years at the intersection of business and AI, and I have seen what changes when teams truly understand how to use these tools in practice. Confidence grows. Ideas improve. Work gets better.
My mission is simple. Help SMEs build the capability to use AI well, safely, and with purpose.

What I help businesses achieve
I help leadership teams and teams on the ground move from AI noise to practical capability. Typical outcomes include:
Shared language
A shared language for AI across leadership and teams, so everyone speaks the same practical vocabulary.
Clear priorities
Clear priorities for where AI can improve work first, based on your real workflows and business goals.
Better decisions
Better decisions about tools, risks, and next steps, with confidence grounded in hands-on experience.
Faster output
Faster, better quality output in priority workflows, with stronger consistency across the team.
Stronger capability
Stronger consistency in how teams use AI day to day, building lasting capability rather than one-off knowledge.
Adoption roadmap
A practical adoption roadmap with ownership and momentum that turns learning into action.
How I work
I use my Demystify to Deploy™ framework to help businesses learn, apply, and embed AI in a way that sticks. The focus is always the same. Business outcomes first, tools second.
Demystify
We build a common language and practical understanding of AI across your team. I explain what matters, what does not, and where the real opportunities are in your business context.
Deploy
We work on your real tasks, documents, and workflows. Together we identify high-value use cases, test ideas safely, and create a realistic plan for adoption, ownership, and follow-through. This can take the form of an AI workshop for UK SMEs, an AI Espresso Shot, or a structured 90-day AI roadmap.
Partner, not product trainer
You know your business. I know AI adoption. Together we find the best fit for your goals, your people, and your constraints. I will tell you what is realistic, what is worth doing now, and what can wait.
What I believe and bring
10+ years in AI and business transformation across hospitality, retail, professional services, property, and education. These principles shape every engagement.

AI fluency beats AI tools
The tool matters less than the capability to use it well. I focus on building understanding so your team can adapt as the technology changes.

2
Real work beats theory
We work on your real tasks, your real friction points, and your real opportunities. Different industries, similar adoption patterns. Cross-sector experience helps me spot opportunities and risks quickly.

Confidence comes from doing
People do not become confident by watching slides. I design engagements that start with alignment, build capability through hands-on work, and turn learning into momentum.

Honest guidance beats hype
I will tell you what AI can do, what it cannot do, and where caution is needed. No inflated promises. Just clear thinking and practical action.
Who I work with
I work with UK SMEs that want to adopt AI in a practical and responsible way. Most clients are in the 5 to 250 employee range, and workshops usually work best with 5 to 20 delegates from across functions.
I am sector agnostic by design. I bring AI adoption expertise. Your team brings deep knowledge of your business. That combination is where the breakthrough happens. See client results from recent engagements.
How we can start
Most clients start with a short conversation about where they are now, what they want to improve, and what good looks like over the next 90 days. From there, I recommend the best next step. If there is no fit, I will tell you.

Frequently asked questions
Who is Elansio for?
Elansio is designed for UK SMEs that want to adopt AI in a practical, business-first way. I work with leadership teams and cross-functional teams that want real outcomes, not just tool demos.
What happens in an AI workshop?
We work on your real tasks and workflows, not generic examples. I help your team build a shared understanding of AI, identify high-value use cases, and leave with a clear plan for what to do next.
Do you deliver onsite or online?
Both. I deliver onsite workshops across the UK and online sessions where that is the best fit. I will recommend the format that gives your team the best learning and momentum.
What makes your approach different from product training?
I focus on adoption, not just product features. That means business outcomes, workflow thinking, team capability, responsible use, and practical follow-through. Tools matter, but only in the context of better work.
Can you help after the workshop?
Yes. Many clients continue with ongoing AI advisory, governance work, or a 90-day roadmap to turn workshop momentum into consistent day-to-day practice.
