Details
This four-part online workshop series is designed specifically for small and medium-sized businesses looking to understand and adopt AI tools with confidence. Over four interactive sessions, you'll learn how to save time, improve operations, and stay competitive using practical AI techniques.
Each 2-hour session combines clear explanations, live demos, and hands-on activities, so you walk away with tools you can use immediately.
Please note: AI Workshop 2 will run from 3.30-5.30pm and then all remaining workshops will run from 3-5pm.
It's not to late to still book for all four sessions as each session is being recorded so we can send you the recording for any sessions missed.
Training Series Overview
Session 1: Demystifying AI – From Buzzwords to Business Value
Cut through the jargon and see real-world AI in action — from ChatGPT to Microsoft Copilot.
Session 2: The Art of Prompting – Techniques for Effective AI Interaction
Master the skill of talking to AI tools with prompts that actually deliver value for your business.
Session 3: Making Sense of Your Business Data
Learn how to use AI to spot patterns and trends in the information you already have – from spreadsheets to customer lists. We’ll show simple ways to turn numbers into insights and clear visuals that help you make better business decisions.
For example: analysing sales data to see which products are growing, finding customer segments from your CRM, or creating simple charts that highlight costs and cashflow patterns.
Session 4: Bringing AI into Your Business the Right Way
Find out how to introduce AI tools step by step, without the hype. We’ll cover how to pick the right areas to start, avoid common risks, and make sure your plan is practical, ethical, and built to last.
For example: choosing the right first use cases, setting guardrails for data privacy, helping your team adopt AI confidently, and building an action plan that fits your size and budget.
