Description
A practical 10-week short course that teaches executives, PAs and administrative teams how to use generative AI to save time, improve decision quality and scale routine work. Through hands-on labs, real workplace templates and governance checklists you will learn
to design safe prompts, automate repetitive tasks, produce polished communications, and embed AI into everyday workflows without sacrificing accuracy or compliance.
What You Will Learn (6 modules)
● Module 1 — Foundations of Generative AI for Business: how generative models work, common capabilities and limits, real-world use cases for executives and admins.
● Module 2 — Prompt Design and Output Shaping: prompt patterns, context engineering, iterative refinement and quality checks for reliable outputs.
● Module 3 — Automating Administrative Workflows: email drafting, meeting summarisation, calendar optimisation, minute taking and routine reporting automation.
● Module 4 — Document Generation and Data Summaries: creating briefs, slide outlines, executive summaries and data-driven narratives from spreadsheets.
● Module 5 — Governance, Ethics and Risk Controls: data privacy, sensitive information handling, verification workflows and organisational AI policy basics.
● Module 6 — Implementation and Change Management: pilot design, ROI measurement, staff adoption strategies and building an AI productivity roadmap.
Learning Outcomes
By the end of this course you will be able to:
● Design effective prompts and review outputs so AI becomes a reliable assistant rather than a source of errors.
● Automate common administrative tasks to reclaim hours each week for higher-value work.
● Produce professional documents and presentations faster, with consistent quality and brand voice.
● Set up simple verification and escalation checks to manage factual accuracy and sensitive content.
