About the workshop
As AI continues to reshape the higher education landscape, managers are uniquely positioned to lead its adoption in ways that enhance performance, communication, and strategic decision-making. This one-day workshop is designed specifically for higher education managers who want to harness the power of AI to lead more effectively and drive better outcomes across their teams and institutions.
Through real-world examples and practical exercises, you’ll explore how AI can support data analysis, improve reporting, enhance presentations, and optimise internal and external communications. You’ll gain the skills to develop well-structured prompts, use AI to summarise complex information, and improve the clarity and tone of written outputs, from team briefings to business cases.
In addition to technical skills, the workshop addresses the broader responsibilities of AI use in leadership. You’ll learn how to manage privacy concerns, mitigate bias in data and content, and apply ethical decision-making frameworks when integrating AI into your team’s processes. Whether you're leading academic departments, support functions, or cross-institutional projects, this workshop will help you build confidence and capability in a rapidly evolving digital environment.
