March is B Corp Month, a time to celebrate businesses using their work as a force for good 💙🌍

At Connect Three, being a B Corp shapes how we show up for our clients, our community and the planet. It’s about action, not just intention.

So far, we’ve funded 30,662 trees through Ecologi 🌳✨ and we’re not stopping there.

It’s one of the many ways we’re making sure growth and positive impact go hand in hand.

Yesterday we hosted our first AI Masterclass with our clients. We explored how leaders can move beyond the jargon and hype to plan for the real impact of AI in their organisations.

We covered:
🔹 The biggest AI trends shaping culture, leadership and operations.
🔹 Why AI skills will separate the stand-outs from the left-behinds.
🔹 Practical tools (including our Workplace AI Toolkit) to take the first steps.

Thank you to Aimee Doole, Martin Welsh and Hugh Welsh for joining us to share a powerful case study from showcasing how AI is driving innovation and competitive advantage for them today. As well as utilising a KTP programme and now the development of a Personal Assistant, C3 have also been supporting an AI cohort within Booth Welsh to play, test and innovative for the business with some great results.

Our key takeaways:
💡 AI isn’t about replacement, it’s about reimagining how we work, lead and grow.
💡 Finding your competitive hook is critical to success.
💡 The organisations who experiment, upskill and embed AI now will define their industries in the next 3–5 years.

“AI is powerful, but Culture is Human.”
We’re building a community of businesses ready to embrace this change. Who’s ready to lead the way?
