Businesses eventually hit operational bottlenecks as manual processes, inconsistent decision-making, and siloed knowledge begin to drag down productivity and efficiency.

AI is now mature enough to automate and accelerate these processes but knowing where to start and how to do it safely can be overwhelming.

This practical and highly interactive workshop demystifies AI automation and shows you how to embed AI workflows directly into your growth strategy. You’ll discover where workflows can deliver the biggest impact, learn how to design them, and build your first workflow during the session. You’ll leave knowing exactly how AI can scale your business without scaling your workload.

What’s covered:

  • What AI workflows are (and what they’re not)
  • Exploring workflow types that unlock scalable growth
  • Identifying automation opportunities using an AI Opportunity Scorecard
  • Review platforms and products you can use to implement workflows
  • Mapping bottlenecks and friction points in your current business processes
  • How to design practical AI workflows using triggers, extraction, analysis, decisions and actions
  • Integrating workflows with CRMs, finance systems, emails, spreadsheets and third-party APIs
  • Human-in-the-loop approval and governance models
  • Risk management, data readiness and responsible use of AI
  • Hands-on workflow build: delegates design and create their first workflow
  • Testing, refining and deploying a workflow
  • Avoiding “AI chaos” with proper controls, versioning and performance monitoring
  • Creating a 90-day workflow roadmap to embed automation into a high-growth business

What outcomes will be achieved?

  • Understand how AI workflows work and where they deliver tangible ROI
  • Identify high-value workflows ready for automation in your organisation
  • Learn a clear, repeatable method for designing and implementing workflows
  • Gain confidence in integrating AI with your existing systems and processes
  • Build your first workflow and leave with a blueprint for further development
  • Create a practical 90-day roadmap to begin embedding AI across your organisation
  • Leave equipped with templates, scorecards and patterns you can apply immediately

Who should attend?

Leaders, founders, operations managers, marketers, finance teams, and product owners who want to embed AI into their processes to improve efficiency, consistency and scalability. No prior knowledge of AI or automaton is required.
