01The gap

Is AI doing enough for you?

You may already use AI to draft emails, summarise documents or brainstorm ideas. The real value starts where that stops: investigating problems, analysing information, uncovering insights and producing work that supports better decisions.

Most professionals already have access to AI. Few have a repeatable way to use it on work that matters. This workshop closes that gap.

Where most people stop

  • Draft emails
  • Summarise documents
  • Brainstorm ideas

Where AI-enabled work begins

  • Investigate problems
  • Analyse information
  • Uncover insights
  • Support better decisions

Judgement over hype

Every output is questioned, verified and reviewed before it informs a decision.

Responsible by design

You'll learn what to share with AI, what to keep out, and where governance matters.

Outputs you can defend

A structured approach that produces work you can stand behind in the boardroom.

02What you'll experience

  1. 01

    Understand what modern AI makes possible

    Cut through the jargon. Understand key AI concepts, explore what today’s tools can do, recognise their limitations and see where they can create practical business value.

  2. 02

    See an end-to-end AI workflow in action

    Watch a live demonstration of how AI can work with relevant information to investigate a business problem, surface findings, answer follow-up questions and help produce an executive-ready output.

  3. 03

    Build with AI, not just watch it

    Work collaboratively through a realistic business challenge. With facilitator guidance, learn how to frame a problem, provide context, work with information, investigate findings and develop a useful output.

  4. 04

    Learn to question AI, not blindly trust it

    Review AI-generated findings, recognise assumptions and gaps, and apply human judgement before using AI outputs to inform decisions.

  5. 05

    Turn experimentation into action

    Identify a real task or workflow in your own work where AI could help, and leave with a practical framework for continuing beyond the workshop.

03What you'll walk away with

A practical understanding of modern AI

Its capabilities, limitations and relevance to professional work.

Hands-on experience

Working through an AI-enabled business challenge rather than simply watching a demonstration.
