Why This Matters

AI is already in your business

  • Through employees.

  • Through vendors.

  • Through the software you already use.

Most businesses don’t realize how much AI is already influencing decisions, handling data, and creating risk behind the scenes. And when something goes wrong, the liability doesn’t land on the AI tool. It lands on the business.

This workshop helps business leaders get ahead of that reality.

What This Workshop Is About

A Practical, no-hype session designed to help business leaders:

  • Understand where AI is already being used in their business

  • Identify hidden risks they may not be thinking about

  • Put simple guardrails in place to protect data, clients, and the business

  • Use AI confidently instead of avoiding it or letting it run unchecked

This is not technical training.
And it’s not an “AI tools demo.”

It’s about control, clarity, and responsible use.

What This Workshop Covers

In this 2 hour, in-person workshop, you’ll walk through five focussed modules:

  • Module 1: An AI Reality Check

    See where AI is already showing up in your business, often without formal approval.

  • Module 2: Hidden AI Risks

    Walk through real examples where AI use by employees, vendors, or software can create legal, data, or compliance exposure without anyone realizing it.

  • Module 3: Security, Data, and Governance (Without the Paperwork)

    Learn the essential foundations every business needs, including three simple governance rules that actually work.

  • Module 4: The Safe AI Sandbox

    Understand how to create a safe, controlled environment where AI can be used productively without exposing sensitive information.

  • Module 5: A 30 Day AI Control Plan

    Leave with a clear, realistic plan for what to do next. No guesswork.

What You’ll Walk Away With

Every attendee receives practical, ready‑to‑use tools, including:

  • An AI Readiness Scorecard

  • A simple AI Acceptable Use Policy template

  • Data cleanup and security checklists

  • A Copilot comparison and guidance on safe AI use

  • A 30‑day action plan you can put into motion immediately

The goal is simple: help you use AI without losing control of your business.

Who This Workshop Is For

This workshop is designed for:

  • Business owners and founders

  • CEOs and executives

  • Operations and finance leaders

  • Office managers and IT decision‑makers

No technical background required.
This is for decision‑makers, not AI enthusiasts.

Why Attend?

Because AI is already being used in your business, whether you approved it or not.
Because doing nothing is still a decision.
And because the businesses that put guardrails in place early will have a clear advantage.
