Inštitut za produktivnost

What Inštitut za produktivnost does

Inštitut za produktivnost d.o.o. is a privately held Slovenian professional-services firm founded in 2001 and headquartered in Kranj, specializing in practical training, consulting, and coaching on artificial intelligence, productivity, and soft skills. The company delivers a catalog of open public workshops (5-hour practical ChatGPT sessions at 197 EUR per participant, with early-bird and group discounts) and custom in-house workshops (3–6 hours, in-person across major Slovenian cities or online/hybrid) tailored to client needs. Its product portfolio spans a general practical AI workshop, an advanced AI agents and automation course, a Microsoft 365 Copilot workshop, and a suite of domain-specific programs for leadership, lawyers, accountants, HR professionals, educators, marketers, and technology/production companies. A free AI Competency Assessment Tool at aikompetence.manus.space measures users' knowledge and application of AI and returns a developmental profile, serving both as a standalone utility and an inbound lead generator.

The business operates on a professional-services revenue model combining per-seat open workshop fees, quote-based custom enterprise engagements, and a content/email newsletter subscription stream. Distribution is direct-to-consumer for open workshops (self-serve registration via the website and Google Forms) and direct enterprise sales for in-house engagements, supported by a content marketing ecosystem built on Dr. Klemen Podjed's personal brand — a Doctor of Economics and ICF coach with 30+ years of experience and 450+ workshops delivered to 200+ clients — and Sabina Podjed's project leadership. The company is explicitly positioning around EU AI Act AI-literacy compliance and is the only disclosed Slovenian training provider in the input set combining that regulatory angle with a proprietary competency measurement instrument. There is no external funding, no parent company, and the operating footprint is limited to Slovenia.
