Two complementary stages

Understand before using. Practise before delegating.

Stage 01

Demystify AI

An interactive seminar to establish a shared vocabulary and look critically at AI responses.

View the content
  • Live quiz: compare your confidence with AI answers.
  • How a machine learns and how a model responds.
  • Demonstrations: text, images, voice and agents; capabilities and limitations.
  • Data, sources, the cost of errors and human approval: agree on usage principles.

Stage 02

AI: where do I start?

A practical day covering four use cases, with two guided workshops per topic and a tangible output from every exercise.

View the content
  • Brief: specify the task, the context and the expected result.
  • Show: provide an example of a successful result.
  • Check: define review criteria and keep the final say.
  • Build on your work: save instructions and reuse examples.

Hands-on learning

Four use cases. Eight guided workshops.

Exercises use a kit of realistic, fictional data. Every output is reviewed and checked before it is accepted.

01

Writing & communication

Draft a sensitive email or a note, with a tone and style suited to its recipient.

The two workshops: the sensitive email; reproducing your style without explaining it again.

AI writes. You sign off.

02

Meetings & documents

Turn a transcript into meeting minutes and extract the essentials from a long document.

The two workshops: steering committee minutes; a one-page requirements summary.

Discussed does not mean decided.

03

Analysis & reporting

Question a data export, spot anomalies and prepare a report using your own template.

The two workshops: making sense of an export; the monthly report.

No figures without a control table.

04

Research & monitoring

Carry out research with sources and prepare recurring monitoring on a topic relevant to your work.

The two workshops: research with sources; the Monday briefing.

No link, no information.

After the session

Materials to put learning into practice back at work.

  • Training materials and practical guides

    Reusable instructions and the key habits to retain for each use case.

  • The workshop kit

    Fictional documents and data to repeat the exercises and share them with your team.

  • An individual action plan

    Three habits to start on your return and one use case to establish within a month.
