Finer Vision relaunches as Mediazoo Group’s dedicated AI skills training and consultancy division, built specifically for in-house enterprise learning and development teams.

 
  • 60+ AI skills across 13 plugin packs, covering the full L&D programme lifecycle from needs analysis to programme marketing.
  • Two flexible deployment options: The Capability Programme (12-week certification, up to 15 delegates) and The Embedded Expert Deployment (six-week on-site consultancy), both designed to support organisations at every stage of their AI skills journey.
  • A free AI Maturity Assessment is the entry point for both models, generating a personalised readiness report and downloadable business case.
  • Finer Vision can deliver measured results: teams completing the programme could cut course development time by up to 60–70 per cent, eliminate four to five department dependencies per programme, and achieve as much as 3.6x Year 1 ROI.

Giles Smith, CEO of Mediazoo Group, said; “The organisations that will lead in the AI era are the ones investing in their people. Those who train their teams to use AI, not just buy tools, will pull ahead. Finer Vision exists to build that capability at scale for every organisation.”

18/03/2026: Mediazoo Group today announced the relaunch of its Finer Vision business as its dedicated AI skills training and consultancy division, built specifically for enterprise learning and development teams.

Most organisations have invested in AI tools. Far fewer have invested in the skills to use them. Research by Uncertainty Experts found that many L&D professionals find themselves in one of three positions: concerned that AI will replace their role, overwhelmed by the number of competing tools and claims, or simply waiting for someone else to act first. Finer Vision is built to move teams out of that position and into confident, practical AI use

The launch responds to a structural problem affecting most enterprise L&D functions. While AI tools are now widely available, many L&D teams lack the skills to use them across their daily work. They remain dependent on other departments for business cases, compliance reviews, SCORM builds, and programme marketing. Finer Vision’s skills catalogue is built to tackle that dependency directly.

Recent research from PwC found that 96 per cent of UK employers have an AI skills gap, while Gartner reports that although nearly 90 per cent of organisations now use AI in their operations, just 9 per cent have reached true AI maturity. Against that backdrop, the pace of change accelerated sharply in early 2026, as the three major AI platforms converged and AI agents began replacing workflows that traditional software was built to serve.

John Gordon, Chief Product Officer at Mediazoo Group and Principal at Finer Vision, said: “The AI skills gap is not about tools. Most enterprises already have access to Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini. The gap is in knowing how to use them across the full programme lifecycle, from needs analysis through to programme marketing. A team should not need to wait three weeks for something that with the right skills, they can do themselves in hours. This is not about replacing people. It is about giving L&D teams the skills to operate as strategic business partners, not order-takers.” 

Finer Vision’s skills catalogue maps directly to how L&D teams actually work. The programme covers every stage of the programme lifecycle: from understanding what an organisation needs, through designing and building the learning, to governing the process and scaling its reach. All 13 plugin packs are platform-agnostic, working with Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, and other AI tools. Organisations are not locked into a single vendor.

Finer Vision offers two flexible deployment options, designed to support organisations wherever they are on their AI skills journey, with a free assessment as the entry point for both.

The Capability Programme is a 12-week certification programme for up to 15 delegates. Teams train alongside Finer Vision consultants across four structured stages: programme launch, skills training and certification, leadership labs, and results and ROI. By week 12, each delegate has built the organisation’s governed AI data model and earned Finer Vision AI Skills Certification. Every session is hands-on, and every skill ends in a real deliverable.

The Embedded Expert Deployment is a six-week on-site consultancy. A senior consultant and a mid-level consultant work in pairs alongside client L&D practitioners on real programme deliverables. Knowledge transfer happens through the work itself. By week six, the team operates independently. Thirty days of post-engagement email support is included.

The entry point for both is a free online AI Maturity Assessment. It measures where an L&D team currently stands, generates a personalised readiness report, and produces a downloadable business case with projected ROI, giving L&D leaders the evidence they need to build the internal case for investment.

Giles Smith, CEO of Mediazoo Group, said: “We spent two years transforming how our own teams work with AI before we offered this to anyone else. We built the skills, deployed them across our workforce, and measured every result. Tools do not change organisations. Capability does. Finer Vision exists to build that capability for every organisation, not just the ones with large technology budgets.”

The launch of the new Finer Vision aligns with the UK Government’s expanded AI Skills Boost programme, which aims to equip 10 million workers with AI skills by 2030. Government research found that only 21 per cent of UK workers feel confident using AI at work, with just one in six UK businesses actively using AI as of mid-2025.
