Half-day masterclass for public sector professionals who want more useful and consistent results from AI
Move beyond one-off prompts. Learn to give AI clearer instructions, useful context and a well-defined outcome, then refine your approach through conversation.
This practical masterclass is built around everyday work. Participants learn a simple structure for setting the goal, providing context, identifying relevant sources and specifying what a useful response should look like. No technical expertise is required.
-
By the end of the session, participants will be able to:
Set a clear goal and provide the context an AI tool needs to respond usefully
Structure prompts with relevant sources, audience and expected output in mind
Break a request into manageable steps and guide AI through them
Refine prompts through follow-up instructions to improve the relevance of a response
Adapt successful prompts for tasks they carry out regularly
Apply prompting techniques to examples from their own work
-
This is a practical, hands-on masterclass built around real work.
Participants work on tasks they already do, such as writing, analysis, planning or preparing briefings. The session includes live demonstrations showing how to approach tasks from start to finish.
We focus on simple, practical techniques that can be applied immediately, without needing technical knowledge or complex tools, with participants working through and refining real outputs during the session.
Participants leave with prompts and techniques they can adapt and reuse in their day-to-day work.
