AI for Productivity: Learning What to do with AI Tools
You’ve heard about AI. You’ve probably tried it. But are you actually getting the most out of it? AI is quickly becoming part of how work gets done, and knowing how to use it effectively is becoming less of a nice-to-have and more of a real advantage.
There’s no shortage of AI tools, tutorials and “10 ways to use ChatGPT” posts out there. The harder part is figuring out what’s actually useful for your work, which tool to use, and how to turn it into real productivity gains.
This session is a full-day, hands-on training designed to help you turn AI into a practical productivity partner for your everyday work.
You’ll work with AI across the tasks you already do; research, writing, document analysis, data and Excel, reporting, planning and more, while learning how to choose the right tool, prompt effectively and build workflows that save you time. And you won’t leave with just notes. You’ll leave with practical resources and AI-assisted workflows you can take back to your own role and start using.
Across 8 practical modules, you’ll move from understanding the tools → working effectively with AI → creating with AI → building AI-assisted workflows.
You’ll get hands-on with leading AI platforms including ChatGPT, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, Claude, Perplexity and more; learning not just what each tool does, but when and why to use it.
