Strategia Training AI helps organizations turn artificial intelligence into a practical business advantage.

Founded by certified AI trainers Lissa Druss and Andy Knott, Strategia Training AI brings together decades of experience in communications, journalism, law, business, education, public policy, and executive advising.

Our philosophy is simple: AI is only as effective as the people who know how to communicate with it, apply it strategically, and use it responsibly.

What Makes Us Different

AI may be a new technology, but the critical thinking, communication, judgment, and strategy required to use it effectively are not.

Our training goes beyond teaching AI tools. We help professionals apply AI to the work they already do—from research, communications, and analysis to business development, operations, planning, and decision-making.

The result is practical AI knowledge employees can put to work immediately.

Built on Real-World Experience

Strategia Training AI grew from the foundation of Strategia Consulting, an international strategic communications and public affairs firm advising corporations, governments, nonprofits, and business leaders.

That real-world consulting experience shapes how we train: around the way organizations actually operate, communicate, make decisions, and adapt to change.

Strategia Training AI also helps employers identify and navigate state workforce development programs that may offset eligible AI training expenses.
