Dr Rod Lane leads the design and delivery of these AI workshops. He is Director of Innovation and Technology at the New Zealand School Boards Association and a former Associate Professor of Education at Macquarie University, Sydney.
Rod is an active researcher in AI in education, with peer-reviewed papers on the application of generative AI in schools published in leading international journals. He is a keynote speaker on AI governance, risk management and effective integration of technology in the classroom. He led the development of an AI-powered policy designer that is used by schools across New Zealand.
Rod’s career spans classroom teaching, teacher education and senior academic leadership. He has an understanding of best practice research and practical knowledge of how schools actually work.
Rod designs every workshop for the people doing the work — principals, teachers, IT coordinators, and administrative staff — so participants leave with the confidence, skills, and judgement to use AI effectively, safely, and in ways that genuinely improve student learning outcomes.
Rod is passionate about education and how technology can help school leaders and educators do their best work — improving learning outcomes, efficiency, and leadership.
We provide four core service areas through scheduled events or custom delivery for your organisation.
AI Implementation & Consulting
Implementation planning, governance frameworks, staff training, troubleshooting, and risk assessment for organisations adopting AI tools. Services include rollout support, acceptable-use policy development, role-based guidance, and compliance checking.
Digital Literacy & Capability Building
Role-based digital skills training for leadership teams, administrative staff, and front-line workers navigating digital transformation. Programmes include technology literacy, capability development pathways, and transformation training for change champions.
Digital Strategy Development
Strategic planning, AI integration roadmaps, and governance-ready frameworks for organisations planning digital change. Services include organisational AI strategy, implementation milestones, and decision frameworks with clear ownership and timelines.
Automation & Process Optimisation
Business process automation consulting, workflow design, and implementation support for high-volume administrative tasks. We identify automation opportunities, design sustainable solutions, and provide governance frameworks for safe rollout.
All services include: templates, frameworks, practical action plans, and role-based guidance you can implement immediately.
Our services are designed for people responsible for capability, operations, governance, and change, including:
· School boards and education leaders
· Leadership teams and managers driving digital change
· Boards and governance groups strengthening digital and AI oversight
· Operations and administration teams improving systems and processes
· NGOs and community organisations building capability and resilience
If you're not yet sure what support you need, we can help you identify the right next step—whether you're exploring AI tools, building digital capability, or considering automation.
Our practice reflects Te Tiriti o Waitangi principles—supporting inclusive, culturally grounded approaches to governance, capability building, and responsible technology use.
We consider equity, access, and context so digital transformation works for every community—not just the best-resourced.
What's the difference between scheduled events and custom delivery?
Scheduled events are open-registration workshops and webinars available through our booking system above. Custom delivery is tailored to your organisation's specific context, team size, timing needs, and can be delivered online or in-person.
Do you work with organisations outside the education sector?
Yes—we work with government agencies, NGOs, community organisations, and educational institutions across Aotearoa New Zealand. Our expertise in education governance has equipped us to support any public or community sector organisation with similar accountability, resource, and stakeholder challenges.
How do I know which service or approach is right for us?
