AI for Work: Practical Tools to Save Time and Work Smarter

AI for Work: Practical Tools to Save Time and Work Smarter

Many professionals know they should be using it, but most aren’t sure where to start, which tools to trust, or how to use AI responsibly in their organization. This interactive half-day workshop is designed to change that. Instead of technical theory, we focus on practical applications you can use immediately. Participants will see how tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Microsoft Copilot, and other AI platforms can help streamline communication, generate ideas, create content in your own voice, and reduce repetitive work. Throughout the session, we’ll explore real examples from businesses and walk through live demonstrations showing how AI can support everyday tasks. Participants will also have the opportunity to try the tools themselves and practice writing prompts that produce useful results. We’ll address important considerations such as accuracy, bias, privacy, and responsible use so participants understand both the opportunities and pitfalls when introducing AI into their workflows. By the end of the workshop, attendees will have a clearer understanding of how AI fits into their daily work, where it can create immediate value, and how to begin using it confidently.

Bring your laptop and your favorite AI platform to the virtual workshop and be ready to experiment.
