Getting More Done with AI: Practical Productivity for Growing Businesses
AI is everywhere, but for many businesses the challenge isn't understanding what AI is, it's knowing where to start.

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
