From AI Ideas to Action: A Practical AI Workshop for Micro/SMEs
with Patrick Shields
Many businesses are already experimenting with AI. The bigger challenge is knowing where AI can create real value, what to prioritise and how to move from experimentation to structured adoption.
In this practical and interactive workshop, participants will explore how AI can support their own organisation and use AI Right™, a new AI adoption and management platform developed specifically around the needs of micro, SMEs and independent organisations.
During the session, participants will complete a short AI readiness assessment for their organisation and receive a personalised report identifying their current position, key priorities and practical next steps.
The workshop will also explore how businesses can identify worthwhile AI opportunities, involve employees in discovering where AI could help, manage implementation and governance, and begin measuring the value AI is actually creating.
Participants will leave with:
- A personalised AI readiness report for their organisation
- A clearer understanding of where AI could create business value
- Practical priorities and next steps.
- An introduction to a structured approach for moving from AI experimentation towards implementation and measurable progress
