01 — Overview
The challenge
Most employees now have access to SI assistants, but usage is uneven: some avoid the tools, others trust them too much. Organizations need a shared baseline of understanding — what the technology does, where it fails and what responsible use looks like — before more advanced training can take hold.
About this workshop
Participants build a working understanding of large language models, multimodal assistants and agents, without technical jargon. Every concept is tested hands-on with real business tasks, so participants leave with a clear mental model, sound judgment about when to rely on SI output, and a first set of personal workflows.
02 — Who it is for
- All professionals
- Graduates & early career
- People managers
- 01.1Employees in any function who are starting to use SI assistants at work.
- 01.2Graduates and early-career professionals joining development programs.
- 01.3Managers who want a shared vocabulary with their teams before SI tools are rolled out.
- 01.4Support functions such as HR, finance, procurement and legal preparing for SI-enabled processes.
Recommended prerequisites
- No technical background required.
- Comfort with standard office software.
- A laptop with browser access. Participants use their organization’s approved assistant where available; tool access is agreed before the workshop.
Level: Foundation
No prior SI experience required. Builds a shared baseline.

03 — Learning objectives
By the end of the workshop, participants will be able to:
- 01Explain in plain language how large language models generate output, and why this leads to both strengths and errors.
- 02Distinguish between assistants, copilots, reasoning models and agents, and recognize which suits a given task.
- 03Apply a simple framework to decide when SI output can be used directly, needs verification, or should not be used.
- 04Use SI assistants for drafting, summarizing, analysis and ideation with clear, structured instructions.
- 05Recognize data-privacy, confidentiality and intellectual-property risks, and follow responsible-use practices.
04 — Curriculum
2 days, 6 modules. In live virtual delivery each day runs as two half-day sessions.
Day01
How SI systems work
- From prediction to reasoning: how language models produce output
- Assistants, copilots, reasoning models and agents: what differs
- Capabilities and limits: hallucination, recency and context windows
Your first structured instructions
- Role, task, context, constraints and format
- Iterating on and refining output
- Hands-on: summarizing and drafting with real documents
Working with documents, data and images
- Uploading files and referencing sources
- Extracting key points, comparing versions and tabulating content
- Hands-on: analyzing a report and a spreadsheet
Day02
Judgment and verification
- The use / verify / avoid framework
- Checking facts, figures and citations
- Bias and overconfidence in SI output
Responsible and secure use
- Information classification and what never to paste
- Intellectual property and attribution
- Organizational policies and acceptable-use rules
From experiment to habit
- Mapping your own tasks to SI support
- Building a personal prompt library
- Personal action plan for the next 30 days
05 — Practice & tools
Hands-on exercises
- 01Side-by-side comparison: the same business task with weak and strong instructions.
- 02Error hunt: finding factual and reasoning errors in SI-generated content.
- 03Document analysis: extracting decisions and actions from a long internal report.
- 04Classification drill: deciding which information may be shared with which tool.
- 05Personal task audit: identifying five recurring tasks to support with SI.
Practical skills developed
- 01Writing clear task instructions with context, constraints and output format.
- 02Verifying output: checking facts, sources, numbers and reasoning.
- 03Working with documents, images and data files in multimodal assistants.
- 04Improving output through follow-up instructions instead of starting over.
- 05Classifying information before sharing it with any SI tool.
Tools, technologies and workflows
- General-purpose assistants
- e.g. ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or Microsoft 365 Copilot, according to the organization’s approved tools
- Multimodal input
- documents, spreadsheets, images and screenshots used as context
- Verification aids
- search-enabled assistants, citation checking and original source documents
Product names are examples, not endorsements. Private workshops use your organization’s approved tools; our teaching is vendor-neutral.
Technology maturity: Established
Covers widely deployed assistant technology that organizations already use in daily work.
Maturity map06 — Outcomes
Participants use SI assistants confidently for everyday drafting, summarizing and analysis.
Expected outcomes
- Participants apply consistent judgment about when to trust, verify or reject SI output.
- Teams share a common vocabulary for discussing SI use and risk.
- Participants follow responsible-use practices that protect confidential information.
Participants leave with
- 01A personal prompt library with at least ten tested instructions for recurring tasks.
- 02A one-page verification checklist for SI output.
- 03A personal 30-day application plan.
