Workshop description

This half-day workshop can be delivered online or in person and is popular for college teaching staff, IT Managers and students (who can also be delivery partners and interact with business attendees where workshops are presented in person).  It will be 3 or 4 hours in duration and led by an expert facilitator.

Many owners and leaders in small businesses think AI is somewhere around the corner. But AI is already here, and many businesses are already making use of it. Not the science fiction version with robots walking the streets and flying through the air, but tangible tools that can help a business become more effective.

This is an important workshop to attend if you want to find out more about artificial intelligence and its uses in the business world.

 

  • How can we use AI to build closer relationships with our customers?
  • How can AI help us measure our customer relationships more effectively and act to improve them?
  • How can AI help us in product and service design?
  • How can we use it to improve our marketing and advertising?
  • How can AI help us become more intelligent in our use of information and data?
  • How can AI help us make more informed decisions more quickly?
  • How can it support small businesses in becoming more sustainable and cost-effective?
  • How can it take some of the repetitiveness and drudgery out of work?
  • What are the problems and challenges, risks and dilemmas it brings with it?

I’ve enjoyed it and learnt a lot, I like the format, and you are a relaxed, likeable team. For me, there are a few takeaways. The broad concepts and ideas seem pretty straightforward forward, and that’s credited to the way the content has been curated/presented. The detail is a minefield, the course has ‘straightened my hat’ a few times. Probably, the ethics session was the most eye-opening (I’m now listening to ‘Weapons of Math Destruction’) … and no doubt more to come. I’m very interested to learn more and make no secret of the fact I am focussed on the practical application for my fledgling business. This means understanding can current AI authentically assist creative thinking or, is it strapping a carrot to a donkey’s head i.e. chasing something that seems within reach but cannot really be achieved? Anyway, I think it can work and look forward to proving it … ever the optimist. Overall, great course, thoroughly enjoyed it. The fact is, there’s very little ‘free’ these days that offer real value, so, much appreciated.

"Artificial Intelligence for Businesses - How to scope, plan, derisk and deploy AI in your business", the course was very interesting. I am planning to open my own business advising businesses to implement AI technologies in their operations. The course has helped me to gain practical insights and strategies for scoping, planning, and deploying AI technologies in a business context, which is extremely useful for my business consulting in order to stay ahead of the curve and remain competitive in the industry. Moreover, the fact that the course offered by the MKAI Team, which is part of The Inclusive AI Community, suggests that the course was taught by experts in the field who have a deep understanding of the importance of inclusive AI practices. Overall, it sounds like the course was a great investment which helped me to gain a competitive edge on business operations on how to incorporate AI technologies effectively and inclusively.

I didn't have much knowledge of AI before taking the course. It has been fascinating to learn about the innovative and futuristic products out there and how we can make the most use of them. The facilitators in the group are very generous in sharing their knowledge, expertise and wisdom with us and helping us think and question. Even though it is an online course, it has a very warm and welcoming atmosphere, which is rare compared to other further education classes. Thank you for designing this course for us. I feel so grateful to be a part of the wonderful MKAI community.
