The Business Automation Blueprint: Where to Start with AI

## From Automation Ideas to Working Systems

Interactive follow-up workshop.
You’ve identified where automation could make a difference in your business. Now it’s time to turn those opportunities into practical, working solutions.
This hands-on follow-up session builds on our introductory workshop and takes a deeper look at how businesses can design and implement AI-powered automation in real-world processes.
Rather than focusing on what automation could do, we’ll focus on how to actually make it happen.

We’ll work through real business processes, identify the steps that can be automated, decide where AI or intelligent agents add value, and explore how different tools and systems can work together.
You’ll see practical examples of workflows being designed and built, while learning a repeatable framework you can apply within your own organisation.
Participants are encouraged to bring a repetitive task, inefficient process, or automation idea from their own business. During the workshop, we’ll explore how these could be transformed into practical automation projects.
By the end of the session, you should have a clearer understanding of what to automate, how to design the solution, and what your next implementation steps should be.

### What You'll Learn

• How to turn an automation opportunity into a practical workflow
• How to map a process before automating it
• Where AI and intelligent agents fit within business workflows
• How to connect existing tools, systems, and data
• How to design human approval and oversight into automated processes
• How to evaluate complexity, cost, risk, and potential ROI
• How to move from prototype to reliable business automation

### What We'll Work On

We’ll explore practical automation scenarios across areas such as sales, marketing, customer service, finance, administration, and operations.
Where possible, we’ll also work through examples and challenges brought by participants - taking a real business process and exploring how it could be automated step by step.

### Who Should Attend

This workshop is ideal for business owners, founders, directors, operations leaders, department heads, and technology professionals who understand the potential of automation and are ready to move from ideas to implementation.
No advanced technical knowledge is required.
If you attended the introductory session, this is the natural next step. If you didn’t, you’re still welcome - particularly if you already have a business process or automation opportunity you’d like to explore.

### What to Bring

Bring your laptop and, ideally, one repetitive task or inefficient process from your business that you’d like to improve.
You may leave with more than an idea - you may leave with the foundations of your first automation.
