🧠 AI in Practice Lab #1 – From Personal to Practice: Unlocking ChatGPT for Your Work
Time & Date: 11:00 Wednesday 22 October
Most professionals are already experimenting with ChatGPT — but few are using it in a way that actually sticks inside their daily workflow. This hands-on session is designed to bridge that gap. In this 45-minute AI in Practice Lab, you’ll learn how to turn your ChatGPT account into a practical work assistant — and see what the next level looks like once your organization is ready for a shared workspace.

💡 What You’ll Learn

• Personal Setup: Stop starting from scratch. Learn how to customize ChatGPT so it understands your role, your tone, and your goals — turning it from a novelty into a real assistant.

• Use Memory: Don’t waste time retyping. Memory is one of the most useful yet least utilized features in ChatGPT.

• Projects, Canvas, and Connectors: See how ChatGPT connects to tools you already use.

• Next Steps: Get a peek at what ChatGPT for Business unlocks — team workspaces, shared libraries, compliance controls, and “copilots” powered by your own data.

You’ll walk away with a working setup you can use right away — and a clear roadmap to scale it across your team when you’re ready.

👥 Who It’s For

• Professionals in law, compliance, finance, healthcare, public service, or software who want practical, responsible ways to use AI at work.

• Team leads and innovators exploring how to bring AI into their organization.

• Builders and advisors helping clients move from “testing ChatGPT” to deploying AI in practice.

Many organizations have already rolled out Microsoft Copilot — but few have seen the real return. Instead of transforming workflows, it’s often sitting idle or underused. This 45-minute hands-on session is designed to change that.
In AI in Practice Lab #3, you’ll learn how to move beyond “check-the-box” adoption and make Copilot an active part of how work gets done — streamlining writing, analysis, and collaboration across Microsoft 365.

💡 What You'll Learn
• From Access to Impact: Understand why most teams struggle to see results from Copilot — and how small shifts in usage can create immediate productivity gains.
• Prompting with Context: Learn how to give Copilot the right signals so it reflects your organization’s language, standards, and workflows.
• Real Use Cases Inside Microsoft 365: Watch how Copilot can summarize meetings in Teams, draft proposals in Word, analyze data in Excel, and update plans in PowerPoint — without leaving your workflow.
• Scaling with Structure: Explore how leading firms are building internal Copilot playbooks and governance models to help their teams use AI confidently and responsibly.
You’ll leave with practical templates, prompt examples, and a framework for helping your team turn Copilot from a mandated tool into a meaningful advantage.

👥 Who It's For
• Professionals and team leads in firms where Copilot is already deployed, but adoption or value remains low.
• Innovation, IT, and transformation leaders responsible for enabling better AI use across the organization.
• Advisors and consultants helping clients turn Copilot access into measurable business outcomes.
