About this Event
What is the AI Accelerator Workshop?
The AI Accelerator Workshop is a hands-on session designed to help business leaders cut through the noise and understand how artificial intelligence can create tangible value within their organisation.
Rather than focusing on future possibilities or technical theory, the workshop explores how AI can be used today to save time, reduce costs, improve customer experiences and eliminate repetitive tasks.
You'll discover the difference between AI tools, AI automation and AI agents, and learn how businesses are using them to streamline operations, automate administrative processes, improve decision-making and uncover new opportunities for growth.
What will you learn?
✅ Practical AI applications being used by businesses today
✅ How AI automation can remove repetitive manual work
✅ Real examples of AI agents solving everyday business challenges
✅ Where AI can improve productivity, efficiency and profitability
✅ How to identify the best AI opportunities within your own organisation
✅ Security, governance and responsible AI considerations
✅ How to build an AI roadmap that delivers measurable business outcomes
What will you leave with?
- Three AI opportunities tailored to your business
- Ideas for automation and efficiency improvements
- Examples of AI agents relevant to your industry
- An understanding of the potential cost and time savings available
- A clear framework for identifying which AI projects are worth pursuing
Whether you're completely new to AI or already experimenting with tools such as Microsoft Copilot, the AI Accelerator Workshop provides practical guidance, real-world examples and actionable next steps to help your organisation accelerate AI adoption with confidence.
Agenda
Welcome & Problem Discovery
Info: Show-of-hands across the workflow: document drafting & review, billing/time recording, compliance & risk, client communications.
Slido Survey #1
Info: Baseline sentiment check on AI adoption, repeated at the end to show the shift.
Room Discussion
Info: Who's already using AI/automation in their business? Frame the philosophy: start small, fix the most painful bottleneck first.
Case Study — Finance/Matter Integration
Info: Phased build walkthrough: POC in Claude → added functionality → migration to Copilot Studio for security and firm-wide access.
Canasta Cards Exercise
Info: Tables work through specific "business problem" cards, pick their top pain point, discuss as a group — competition with a prize for the highest scorer.
Case Study — Voice Agent Demo
Info: Live demo: a voice agent takes an enquiry, books a consultation in real time, and drafts a follow-up summary email.
Agent Showcase
Info: Quick-fire tour of relevant agents from Jera's library (e.g. intake triage, document review support, billing narrative drafting).
The Pause
Info: A moment of silence where each attendee writes down their top three things to fix in their practice.
Deep Dive Exercise
Info: Walk the room through analysing one process step-by-step using the 5Rs framework.
Next Steps — AI Accelerator
Info: Introduce the two paths (Copilot / Copilot Cowork), the 20-day prompt email programme, and the 1:1 → POC → full build → support pathway.
Slido Survey #2
Info: Repeat the opening survey to reveal the sentiment shift.
Lunch
Q&A & Close
Info: Recap key takeaways, open floor Q&A, one-word takeaway round, then unlock the second card deck (via booking a meeting), introduce the feedback agent, and share contact details.
