AI Online Lab Advanced:
Smarter Workflows. Better Decisions.

Three live online labs for confident AI users: advanced prompting techniques, AI for analysis and decision support, and building repeatable workflows and assistants.

You want to keep growing, not feel left behind by the next tool. AI can open possibilities for your work, but confidence means knowing when to use it, what to check and what information to protect. We meet people at their starting point and make space to try, question and learn.

Why this course matters

Once the basics are in place, the real value of AI comes from how well you design the work around it.

What you’ll explore in the Lab

AI Online Lab Advanced is for professionals who already use AI regularly and want to go further.

Across three live online sessions, participants master advanced prompting techniques, use AI to analyse information and support better decisions, and design repeatable workflows and custom assistants for the tasks their team does again and again. The focus throughout is on quality and judgement: structuring complex requests, testing outputs, recognising bias and gaps, and building approaches colleagues can trust and reuse.

a real challenge. a purposeful response.

The challenges this addresses

  • Regular AI users stuck at simple, one-off requests
  • Complex tasks broken into dozens of disconnected prompts
  • AI-assisted analysis trusted without testing assumptions, gaps or bias
  • Useful prompts and workflows living with one person instead of the team

What this can change at work

Help experienced AI users turn individual tips into reliable ways of working. The series develops advanced prompting, critical use of AI for analysis and decision support, and the design of repeatable workflows and assistants within your approved tools and guidance. Teams benefit from shared, tested approaches rather than every person reinventing their own. The business gains more consistent, higher-quality use of AI on meaningful work, with human judgement kept firmly in charge of decisions — without promising particular efficiency figures.

Complex tasks structured well

People break larger pieces of work into staged prompts with clear context, criteria and checks.

Analysis tested, not just trusted

AI-supported insights are challenged for assumptions, missing information and bias before informing decisions.

Workflows shared across the team

Proven prompts, templates and assistants are documented and reused, so good practice spreads.

Inside the workshop

Delivered live online for a maximum of 8 participants, with sessions spaced so people can try new approaches on their own work between each one. Every session is live, hands-on and facilitator-led: short demonstrations, guided practice in the AI tools your business has approved, breakout exercises and peer-to-peer learning on real tasks. Participants use non-sensitive examples, check outputs critically and leave each session with prompts, workflows and a personal action to apply straight away. Tools, examples and your internal AI guidance are agreed with you before delivery.

Outcomes

The capabilities delegates work towards through the training and practice:

  • Use advanced prompting techniques for complex, multi-step tasks
  • Analyse documents, data and research with AI while testing the results
  • Recognise bias, gaps and overconfidence in AI outputs
  • Design a repeatable workflow or custom assistant for a team task
  • Document and share AI approaches others can trust and reuse

the next conversation is where it counts —

Take it back to work.

Choose a real situation where you want to apply the learning. Use it to turn an outcome into a manageable first step, then reflect on what changes.

Choose

Start with one priority: Use advanced prompting techniques for complex, multi-step tasks.

Apply

Try the approach in a relevant task or conversation. Note what felt useful and what you would adapt.

Review

Reflect on what happened, seek feedback where appropriate and choose your next step. Follow-up support can be discussed separately.

Bring this topic to your next event

We can discuss adapting AI Online Lab Advanced: Smarter Workflows. Better Decisions. into a keynote or large-group session, focusing on the themes most relevant to your audience. Depth, activities, timings and any follow-up depend on the format and package you choose; an event session is not a substitute for the full course.

AI Online Lab Foundations:
Confident, Safe & Productive

Three live online labs for people starting out with AI: understand what it can and can't do, write effective prompts and use it safely to save time on everyday work.

3 × 2.5-hour live online sessions (7.5 hours)Maximum 8 participants

Course synopsis

Confidence with AI doesn't start with the cleverest tool — it starts with knowing what to ask, what to check and what to keep private. AI Online Lab Foundations is a practical introduction for professionals who are new to AI or using it occasionally. Across three live online sessions, participants learn how generative AI works in plain language, where it helps and where it falls short, and how to use it responsibly with company information. They then build prompting skills step by step and apply AI to everyday tasks such as drafting, summarising, planning and research. Every session is hands-on in approved tools, with time between sessions to try AI on real work and bring questions back to the group.

3 live sessions · 2.5 hours each

Outcomes — you'll be able to

  • Explain in plain language how generative AI works and where it falls short
  • Use AI safely in line with your organisation's guidance
  • Write clear prompts and improve results through iteration
  • Apply AI to everyday drafting, summarising and planning tasks
  • Check AI outputs for accuracy, tone and suitability

Prompting for Business Professionals

Write clear, structured prompts that get reliable, useful output from AI tools for everyday business tasks.

Half day · 3.5 hours per half day6–8 delegates

Course synopsis

A useful AI response starts with a clear brief and ends with your judgement. Useful AI work begins with a clear brief and ends with human judgement. This half-day workshop helps professionals structure prompts around the task, relevant context, audience, output format and constraints, then refine the response through purposeful follow-up questions. Delegates explore practical examples such as summarising information, drafting business updates and organising ideas, comparing outputs to see which instructions improve usefulness. We make room for the limits of prompting: even a well-written prompt can produce inaccurate or biased content, so checking evidence remains essential. Using approved tools and public or anonymised information, people develop reusable prompts suited to their roles and a clear approach to reviewing what comes back.

Key focus areas

  • What makes a good prompt
  • Context, role, format and constraints
  • Iterating and refining output
  • Checking accuracy and bias
  • Using AI safely with company data
  • Building a reusable prompt library

Outcomes — you'll be able to

  • Write structured prompts for common tasks
  • Refine output through follow-up prompts
  • Check AI output before using it
  • Leave with a personal prompt library

Included in every course

  • Interactive, facilitator-led learning
