Confidently apply AI to elevate your projects, streamline your workflow, and future-proof your role.
Artificial Intelligence is becoming a core professional tool across industries. This interactive online series will guide EIANZ members – whether you're just starting or ready to scale AI use – through the practical steps of applying AI more extensively in your daily work.
The programme is designed to move you from basic understanding to confidently building and deploying AI-powered tools that create measurable value.
Why This Matters
AI is rapidly changing how we work. Those who learn to apply it effectively gain a clear advantage. This series builds your capability in real time, using your actual work context, not hypothetical examples. You'll walk away with tools, workflows and mindsets you can apply immediately—no tech background required.
Participants will work across multiple AI platforms such as OpenAI, Gemini, and Microsfot Co-Pilot etc (OpenAI recommended). The sessions will be recorded and session summaries will be provided to all registered delegates.
Please note this workshop will run over for 4 consecutive Tuesdays for 2.5 hours on the following days:
Tuesday 20 May, Tuesday 27 May, Tuesday 3 June & Tuesday 10 June 2025 at 12:00pm - 2:30pm (AEST)
Session Overviews
Session 1 | From AI Curiosity to Application
• Overview of AI adoption, transformation, and performance optimisation. Understand how AI is reshaping role and accelerating workflows
• Explore AI’s input-output logic using real examples from your work. See what AI can already do to support decision-making and writing
• Identify tasks that are repetitive, manual, or time-consuming. Begin spotting areas the areas where AI can make immediate impact
• Develop clarity around your role’s potential AI-enhanced future. Shift from general awareness to 'AI-first' thinking
Shift from general awareness to ‘AI-first’ thinking
Session 2 | Prompt Design & Tool Building
• Learn to use AI as a cognitive assistant for layered problem-solving. Move beyond basic Q&A to deeper, more contextual outputs
• Master the key principles of effective prompt construction. Understand how clarity and context shape quality responses

• Explore automation for compressing time and reducing manual tasks. Identify where 100x improvements can come from process redesign
• Learn to optimise workflows across teams or projects. Move from isolated use to organsation-wide application
• Build AI-powered systems that scale your impact. Redesign processes with AI embedded across touchpoints
Session 4 | Future-Proofing Your Role/Organisation with Strategic AI
• Understand how AI will reshape job roles over the next 5 years. Anticipate what it means for your expertise and influence
• Shift from AI user to orchestrator of AI-driven processes. Learn to coordinate, manage, and govern multi-agent systems
• Apply AI to support strategic planning and complex decisions. Use frameworks and models enhances by AI-generated insights
• Define a pathway to lead AI integration in your organisation. Future-proof your contribution by evolving with the technology
