Deep Dive · Behavioural AI

Anyone can use AI. The ones who stand out understand people.

The best prompt starts with understanding people. In this Deep Dive, you'll learn how behavioural design makes you a sharper AI user, and a more effective one. Because the real edge isn't the tool, it's knowing what makes people tick.

Who is this for?

This training is specially designed for

Professionals who want to get more from AI Who use AI every week but, honestly, the output never really feels like theirs. Too generic. They know there's more in it.
Team leaders & managers Who have said "just use AI" but see that their team has barely changed how it works as a result. And aren't quite sure why.
HR directors & L&D professionals Who have already bought training, rolled out tools, and are still waiting for the behaviour change it was supposed to deliver.
Change managers Who know it's a people challenge, but don't have the language to name what's happening — and what's really needed to break through it.
Organisational consultants Who help clients with AI programmes and find that the real question is never about the tools, but about the people who don't want to use them.
Leaders in AI-intensive organisations Who have invested in tools and training and are still waiting for the workflow change that was promised.
What you can do with it

This is what changes after the training

Your AI output is no longer recognisable as AI Your tone, your context, your judgement in it. Colleagues ask whether you wrote it yourself. That's the difference between using AI and making AI work for you.
AI is no longer something you do when you have time You use it Monday for the report, Tuesday for the prep, Wednesday for the analysis. Not because you have to. Because it genuinely goes faster and feels better.
You stop thinking: they just don't want to change You now see what's really going on with that one colleague who drops every AI tool after two weeks. And you know what you can do, instead of explaining one more time how useful it is.
You understand why your AI rollout isn't getting off the ground It clicks: it's not the tool, not the willingness. It's something people are protecting in their work, something that weighs heavier than all the benefits you've already listed.
Someone on your team asks: how did you do that with AI? Not because you gave a workshop. But because you showed them something they want for themselves. That's how AI use really spreads — from person to person, not from policy to floor.
You know whether AI use has really changed, or only on paper Your director asks: how many people are using it? You ask back: but is the way they work actually changing? That distinction determines whether you're having the same conversation in a year's time.

Behavioural Science × AI: The combination that gives you the edge

AI is lightning fast. But without insight into how people make decisions, adoption never truly changes. When you understand what drives behaviour, you brief AI better, read output more sharply, and design change that sticks. This is exactly the combination you learn in this course. The difference is never in the tools. It's in the people.

SUE trainer delivering AI Adoption training
Step 1
Understanding why people don't change, even when they want to You get a lens that shows how behaviour change really works. Beyond rational arguments and good intentions. So you finally understand what's really happening on the shop floor.
Step 2
Briefing AI as an expert, not as a user You learn how to bring your professional knowledge and insight into people into AI prompts. So the output isn't generic, but the work of someone who truly understands what drives the audience.
Step 3
Designing adoption that truly sticks With a behavioural science approach you design the conditions under which people embrace AI. So it's not a one-off training, but lasting behaviour change.
Step 4
Becoming the conductor of AI expertise You learn how to deploy AI like an orchestra that amplifies your expertise. Not as a replacement, but as a force multiplier for what you already know and can do. So you're the conductor, not the performer.

Please note: the curricula overlap in themes, but are not identical. The online training builds knowledge step by step across 12 lessons divided over 4 modules. The team training is an intensive day in which the same behavioural science framework is applied directly to your own AI adoption challenge. Both paths lead to the same result, via a different route.

12 video lessons divided over 4 modules, each a maximum of 8 minutes. You build step by step the three skills most AI courses skip.

Module 1  ·  Understanding why adoption fails

Lesson 1

Why smart people still don't use new tools

You understand why AI adoption stalls and where the real lever lies.

Lesson 2

Seeing through the eyes of someone who doesn't want to change

You recognise the three mechanisms that block change — including in yourself.

Lesson 3

When humans and AI truly make each other stronger

You see what winning human-AI combinations do differently from the rest.

Module 2  ·  Learning to diagnose behaviour

Lesson 4

Discovering what people are actually trying to protect

You learn to look beneath the surface and name what someone is really protecting.

Lesson 5

Making the invisible forces behind resistance visible

You map the four forces behind AI behaviour for every situation.

Lesson 6

From assumptions to sharp behavioural diagnoses

You translate a diagnosis into the right intervention — not a generic one.

Module 3  ·  The three human skills

Lesson 7

The art of asking sharp questions to AI

You know which skills set you apart from someone who merely uses AI.

Skill 1  ·  Briefing

How to get better answers from AI

You learn to brief AI so that your expertise shapes the output.

Skill 2  ·  Reviewing

When an AI answer is good enough and when it isn't

You evaluate AI output on three levels as someone who knows what good looks like.

Skill 3  ·  Anchoring knowledge

How to get smarter from every AI interaction

You build a habit that sharpens your AI skill with every session.

Module 4  ·  Making behaviour truly change

Lesson 11

How new behaviour spreads through teams

You deploy three behaviours that increase AI adoption in your team ninefold.

Lesson 12

Small experiments that cause big breakthroughs

You design one experiment that permanently changes how you see AI.

Start the training

To change something, you first need to know precisely what's going on. Not as an assumption, but as an analysis. Your own AI situation is the thread running through the day.

Diagnosis session during AI Adoption team training
Part 1 — morning

Diagnosis

In the morning you learn to see precisely why people don't pick up AI, even when they say they want to. Not as an assumption, but as an analysis of your own situation.

  • 01You see at a glance why AI use in your organisation stalls, even when people say they're willing
  • 02Why your professional expertise is your strongest AI advantage — and how to activate it rather than replace it
  • 03The three reasons people don't pick something up, even when the benefits are crystal clear
  • 04What people are truly protecting in their work, and why that weighs heavier than any tool you hand them
  • 05You map the precise forces that hold back or drive AI adoption in your team
You work all morning on a real AI case from your own organisation
Part 2 — afternoon

Intervention

Insight without action changes nothing. In the afternoon the team translates the diagnosis into a plan that can be implemented the very next day.

  • 01You design a concrete wow moment: one experience someone will spontaneously want to share with a colleague
  • 02How to brief AI so that your expertise is in it, and evaluate output as someone who knows what good looks like
  • 03You determine which first step is realistic for your team — tomorrow, not in six months
  • 04Three things a manager can do that have more effect than any encouragement or additional training
  • 05How to see the difference between people who use AI and people who have genuinely changed how they work
You leave the day with a shared picture of what's happening and a plan that works the very next morning

We think you'll want to know this

The online training is a self-directed learning programme of 12 lessons that you follow at your own pace, with your own AI adoption challenge as the thread running through it. The team training is an intensive one-day session in which the entire team works together on one shared challenge from your organisation. The themes overlap, but the curriculum is not identical: the team training is more tailored to your specific context and is bespoke to the trainer.

The videos are in English, but subtitles are available in five languages: English, Dutch, German, Swedish and Finnish. Feedback on your exercises is provided in Dutch or English, according to your preference. The team training is available in both Dutch and English.

The 12 lessons each take an average of 20 to 30 minutes, supplemented by a direct exercise based on your own case. You can complete the training in a week, but you have lifetime access and can set the pace entirely yourself. You can always go back or revisit lessons whenever you need them.

The team training preferably takes place at our location in Amsterdam. This provides an environment free from office distractions, which significantly increases focus and learning effect. An in-company variant at your location is possible by arrangement. The day runs approximately 9:00–17:00 and is divided into a diagnosis phase and an intervention phase, with your own AI adoption challenge as the thread running through it. The price of €7,990 excl. VAT is per group, for 8 to 16 participants.

No, the Deep Dive is accessible without prior knowledge of the Fundamentals Course. You learn the relevant behavioural science concepts within the context of AI adoption. Have you already completed the Fundamentals? Then you deepen existing knowledge and learn to apply it specifically to AI adoption programmes.

Yes, all participants in the team training receive a personal certificate from SUE Behavioural Design Academy upon completion of the day. Participants in the online training receive their certificate after completing all 12 lessons.

The training is structured in modules that you work through at your own pace. Each lesson combines video, theory and a direct practical assignment based on your own AI adoption challenge. Additionally you receive tools, templates and e-books to apply insights immediately. You have lifetime access to all materials and can always go back or revisit lessons whenever you need them.

Yes. After completing the training you gain access to the SUE Behavioural Design Club, our community for professionals who apply behavioural science. You can exchange experiences, ask questions and benefit from additional learning material. You receive the link and instructions as soon as you complete the training.

After the training you have four working documents: an analysis of what's really happening in your AI adoption challenge, a concrete approach based on what weighs most heavily, an honest audit of your own manager behaviour, and a 30-day sprint you can start immediately. Astrid provides personal written feedback on your final assignment. For a team training: the team leaves the day with a shared plan that can be deployed the very next day.

For the team training, payment by invoice is standard. After the intake conversation you will receive a quote and invoice.

The online training is paid directly online at enrolment (credit card or iDEAL). After payment you automatically receive an invoice by e-mail.

Would you like to give multiple colleagues access to the online training at the same time? This is possible via our team licence. Contact us via the contact form for a quote.

Yes. Via a team licence, multiple colleagues get access to the online training. As a manager or team leader you receive progress reports for all participants, so you can track and support the learning process.

Team access is invoiced. Contact us via the contact form for more information and a quote.

SUE is a pioneer in making behavioural science practically applicable.
