Business and AI – Reshaping the future of work

Generative AI is reshaping industries, transforming workflows and opening new possibilities for innovation. In this immersive workshop, tech expert Simon Tyrrell will break down what leaders need to know now; from practical applications and emerging trends to the ethical considerations shaping the future of work.

Business + AI is one of our most sought-after programs, designed to equip professionals with the skills and insights needed to stay ahead in a rapidly evolving landscape. It empowers participants to harness AI effectively, tackle complexity, and lead confidently at the forefront of technological innovation.

But with innovation comes complexity. Businesses face critical challenges, such as safeguarding sensitive information, addressing ethical concerns, and ensuring AI aligns with organisational values.

In this workshop, you’ll gain the knowledge, tools, and confidence to integrate generative AI into your business and stay ahead of the curve.

The day concludes with a hands-on session where you’ll create and apply your own AI-driven solution, showcasing its real-world potential. A follow-up online session with Simon will address roadblocks and challenges, providing additional support for implementing your learning.

Join us for an immersive one-day experience that equips you with the knowledge and tools to apply generative AI within your business and stay ahead of disruption.
