What to Expect:

• Practical AI for Your Business (11:30 - 12:30)

Discover real-world applications of AI that can drive efficiency, improve customer experience, and unlock new opportunities. Learn from examples and case studies that show how businesses like yours are already benefiting.

• Leadership for the Digital Age (1:30 - 2:30)

This course will help you discover your own leadership style, how to navigate change and set and communicate a vision for your work, whether you’re leading a team or leading a single element of a project.

What You’ll Walk Away With:

By the end of the session, you’ll be able to:

✅ Understand AI Fundamentals

• Explain what AI is (and isn’t) in simple terms

• Identify where AI is already being used in business and everyday life

• Spot opportunities to apply AI in your own role or team

✅ Apply AI in Real Business Contexts

• Recognise practical use cases for AI across different functions

• Evaluate which AI tools or approaches might be relevant for your business challenges

• Start experimenting with AI tools to improve productivity and decision-making

✅ Use Prompting Techniques Effectively
