About this event

Most organisations don't need a complex AI strategy or a team of specialists to begin seeing value. The biggest opportunities often come from improving everyday tasks that waste time, slow teams down, or create friction across the business.

Not every problem needs an agent. We'll explore when chat, skills, workflows and agents are the right fit, and how to identify opportunities where AI can create meaningful business value. You'll learn a practical framework for uncovering opportunities, prioritising where to start, and building solutions that deliver measurable value without overcomplicating the process.

Together, we'll examine real business scenarios, explore different ways AI can be applied to the same challenge, and work through a structured approach to identifying opportunities within your own organisation. You'll leave having mapped potential use cases, prioritised the most impactful opportunity, and created a simple AI-powered solution designed around a genuine business need

What You'll Learn:

  • Where AI can create the greatest productivity gains in a growing business

  • How to identify and prioritise high-value AI opportunities

  • The differences between chat, skills, workflows and agents

  • How to build and test a simple AI-powered solution

What you'll leave with

  • An AI opportunity canvas tailored to your business

  • A working minimum viable solution, addressing a real-world challenge

  • A framework for identifying future AI opportunities
