Mediazoo Group has relaunched Finer Vision as a dedicated service. A.I. Establish a skills training and consulting arm for corporate learning and development teams, positioning the movement to avoid widening the gap between AI adoption and society. workforce capacity.
The UK-based company targets organizations that have invested in AI tools but lack the in-house skills to apply them across their core L&D workflows. This offer is a combination of structured training, consulting, and assessment tools designed to embed AI into your daily work, rather than treating it as a standalone feature.
Focus shifts from tools to features
Finer Vision is built around a catalog of over 60 AI skills delivered through 13 plugin packs, covering the complete L&D lifecycle from needs analysis to program delivery and marketing.
This approach reflects broader industry patterns. Although access to platforms like Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini are now ubiquitous, many teams still rely on other departments for tasks like compliance, content building, and internal approvals.
John Gordon, chief product officer at Mediazoo Group and principal at Finer Vision, says, “The AI skills gap is not about the tools. Most companies already have access to Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini. The gap is in knowing how to use them throughout the program lifecycle, from needs analysis to program marketing.”
He added: “Teams don’t have to wait three weeks to do something they can do in hours with the right skills. This isn’t about replacing people. It’s about giving L&D teams the skills to act as strategic business partners rather than order takers.”
Introducing a training and consulting model
The division will start with two delivery models. The Capability Program is a 12-week certification course for up to 15 participants that combines structured training, leadership workshops, and measurable outcomes. Each participant completes the program with a managed AI data model and certification.
Embedded Expert Deployment offers a six-week, on-site consulting model where specialists work with internal teams on live projects. The objective is to transfer capabilities through the offering and it is expected that the team will be operating independently by the end of the contract.
Both pathways begin with a free AI maturity assessment that assesses your current capabilities, generates a readiness report, and creates a business case with a projected return on investment.
L&D under pressure to close AI skills gap
The reopening comes as multiple data points highlight the scale of the challenge. PwC reports that 96% of UK employers face an AI skills gap. Meanwhile, Gartner estimates that nearly 90% of organizations are using AI, but only 9% have reached maturity.
Finer Vision’s services are focused on reducing operational burden. The company says teams that complete the program can reduce course development time by up to 60-70%, eliminate some cross-departmental dependencies, and achieve up to a 3.6x return on investment in the first year.
Giles Smith, CEO of Mediazoo Group, said: “Organizations that will lead in the AI era are those that invest in their people. Organizations that don’t just buy the tools, but train their teams to use AI will move forward. Finer Vision is here to help every organization build that capability at scale.”
“We spent two years transforming the way our teams work with AI before delivering it to others. We built the skills, deployed it across our workforce, and measured all the results. Tools don’t change organizations; capabilities do.”
The launch is in line with broader UK policy direction, including the government’s AI Skills Boost programme, which aims to train 10 million workers by 2030. Current data shows that adoption of AI remains uneven, with only a minority of companies actively using AI and a limited proportion of workers reporting confidence in using it in the workplace.
