About the workshop
Artificial Intelligence is rapidly becoming an essential skillset across all levels of higher education. From streamlining administrative tasks to enhancing leadership decision-making, AI offers powerful tools to improve productivity, communication, and strategic outcomes. This two-day workshop is designed to equip both administrative professionals and managers with the confidence, skills, and practical knowledge needed to effectively apply AI in their roles.
Across two tailored sessions, you’ll explore the fundamentals of AI, bust common myths, and gain hands-on experience with tools that can automate routine tasks, improve written outputs, and unlock insights from complex data. You’ll practice developing prompts for meeting minutes, emails, reports, and communications, ensuring your use of AI is purposeful, efficient, and accurate.
Importantly, the program also addresses the risks and responsibilities of AI use in the workplace. You’ll learn how to manage privacy concerns, recognise and reduce bias, and apply ethical practices when using AI to support both operational and strategic decisions. Whether you're supporting faculty operations or leading institutional projects, this comprehensive program will help you navigate the opportunities and limitations of AI with clarity and confidence.
