What you’ll leave with

A workshop built on outcomes, not slides

Every segment pairs a concept with a live activity, so participants apply it to their own tasks and tools as they go.

01

Know what AI can’t be trusted with

Understand what generative AI actually does — and where it falls down without warning.

02

Prompt with confidence

Practise effective prompting live, on your own real workplace tasks.

03

Spot hallucinations early

Build simple, repeatable verification habits your whole team can use.

04

Protect confidential data

Know precisely what should never go into an AI tool — and why.

05

Navigate IP & vendor traps

Understand ownership of AI output and the terms-of-service pitfalls vendors don’t flag.

06

Draft your AI use policy

Leave with a strong, structured organisation-specific policy draft — written live, in the room.

Session structure

Three hours, one usable outcome

No filler, no generic slide deck. Every segment builds directly toward a strong working draft of your policy — with a real break built in, not rushed to fit the clock.

Foundations & Risk

What generative AI does well, where it fails silently, and the confidentiality, IP and bias risks non-technical teams need to know before they touch a prompt box.

Capabilities & limitsConfidentialityBias & fairness

Practical Prompting

Live prompting practice on participants’ own tasks, plus hands-on hallucination-spotting and a simple verification routine to take back to the desk.

Break

A proper pause before the drafting workshop — time to reset, and for us to pull together the themes raised so far.

1:25

Governance & Oversight

Distinguishing appropriate from inappropriate workplace AI use, and establishing sensible human oversight before any policy gets written down.

Draft & Wrap

Working section by section through a structured policy template as a group — building a strong working draft for your organisation, ready for internal sign-off, with 30 days of follow-up support to help finalise it.
