About The Event

AI Compass High Impact Workshop: Practical AI Skills for the Workplace

Where human insight meets AI power

Artificial intelligence can save hours of repetitive work, improve how information is analysed and help professionals produce documents, reports and policies faster. But getting meaningful results from AI requires more than simply knowing how to use ChatGPT or Copilot.


The AI Compass High Impact Workshop is an intensive four-week practical AI training programme designed specifically for HR, Labour Law, Employee Relations, Compliance and business professionals.


Across four live online sessions, delegates progress from understanding how AI works to prompt engineering, Microsoft Copilot, process mapping, automation and building bots. The emphasis throughout is on practical workplace application: using AI responsibly, identifying processes that can be improved and building tools and workflows that can be applied immediately.


The programme also addresses AI governance, compliance, data and workplace law considerations, helping professionals use AI productively without losing sight of the risks and responsibilities that accompany its use.


What you will learn

  • Session 1 – The AI Foundation | 4 November 2026: Understand the history of AI, what artificial intelligence is, how it works, commonly used AI platforms, and key considerations around AI, law and data.

  • Session 2 – Prompting Like a Professional | 11 November 2026: Learn prompt engineering, build reusable prompt libraries, understand how to prompt different platforms, and explore the different features available across AI tools.

  • Session 3 – Deep Dive on Copilot & Process Mapping | 18 November 2026: Explore Microsoft Copilot in greater depth and learn how to map workplace processes using design thinking and EQ to identify opportunities for smarter AI-enabled workflows.

  • Session 4 – Bot Building & the Future of AI | 25 November 2026: Learn the foundations of bot building and automation, explore coding with AI using basic tools and user interfaces, and examine where AI is heading next.


Practical AI skills you can use at work

By the end of the programme, delegates will be equipped to use AI more confidently and responsibly in their roles, save time through smarter workflows, create high-quality documents, reports and policies faster, and design AI-enhanced HR, Labour Law and Compliance processes.

Delegates will also learn to build reusable prompts and productivity tools and develop an AI adoption roadmap that can guide the responsible introduction of AI within their organisation.


Why attend AI Compass?

AI Compass is designed to be application-focused, with an emphasis on the AI tools and techniques that can be used in business today.


The programme combines practical AI capability with considerations around compliance, governance and workplace law, making it particularly relevant to professionals working in people-intensive and regulated environments.


Rather than leaving with AI concepts alone, delegates leave with actionable tools, templates, techniques and workflows that can be implemented in their day-to-day work.


Who should attend?

The programme is designed for HR professionals, Employee Relations practitioners, Labour Law professionals, Compliance Officers, Managers, Executives, Business Owners and Transformation Leaders who want practical AI skills for the workplace.
