AI is treated as an assistive tool. Participants consider the needs of colleagues, customers, stakeholders, and other intended audiences when reviewing generated content.
Responsible
The session addresses verification, confidentiality, privacy, bias, and appropriate human oversight when using generative AI.
Workflow-Oriented
Participants examine how AI assistance fits into a task, from defining the objective and preparing instructions to reviewing the output and completing the work.
Applied
Prompt-writing exercises, workplace scenarios, and structured review activities help participants practise the concepts covered during the session.
07 | From Individual Learning To Team Practice
In-House Session
Want to train your entire team?
Strive Wisdom can deliver this session as an in-house programme for organisations that want to explore generative AI within their own working environment.
The session can be adapted to relevant organisational responsibilities, existing workflows, approved AI tools, and professional requirements. Examples and exercises can be selected to reflect appropriate business tasks while taking account of confidentiality, information security, and internal AI-use policies.
An in-house format also provides an opportunity for teams to discuss common use cases, review expectations, and identify where human verification and approval should remain part of their processes.
