ChatGPT for Productivity: A Beginner’s Guide Training Course

This live, instructor-led training in New Zealand guides intermediate professionals in designing and scaling agentic AI for business automation. The course covers mapping workflows, integrating tools, and building practical use cases in customer service, supply chain, and marketing to ensure measurable business impact.

This instructor-led, live training in New Zealand (online or on-site) is aimed at beginner-level / intermediate-level / advanced-level professionals who wish to use Artificial Intelligence in Project Management and Agile Methodologies to shift from manual coordination to data-driven orchestration. This category focuses on leveraging Machine Learning and Large Language Models to address traditional "bottlenecks" in the software development lifecycle (SDLC). By applying AI to areas such as GitOps, capacity planning, and requirements engineering, organisations can achieve greater precision in forecasting and significantly reduce the time spent on administrative overhead. This approach enables teams to focus on high-value creative work, while AI manages the complexity of data processing and scenario planning.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Understand the technical foundations of Transformers, LLMs, and SLMs.
• Critically evaluate AI tools based on cost, latency, data privacy, and vendor lock-in.
• Master advanced prompt engineering and RAG techniques for professional use.
• Integrate AI into the full Agile lifecycle, from ideation and backlog refinement to risk management.
• Identify and mitigate risks related to AI ethics, biases, hallucinations, and "model collapse."
• Apply "model-based problem solving" to complex engineering and management tasks.

This instructor-led, live training in New Zealand (online or onsite) is aimed at beginner-level / intermediate-level / advanced-level professionals who wish to transform traditional architectural workflows into AI-native processes. Rather than replacing the architect's creativity, we focus on augmenting it - using Artificial Intelligence to handle repetitive tasks, accelerate conceptualization, and automate administrative burdens. The workshop bridges the gap between raw sketches and high-end professional presentations.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Generate 3-5 conceptual variants in the time it previously took to create one.
• Conduct independent high-end post-production on renderings, eliminating the need for external outsourcing for minor corrections.
• Utilize Multimodal AI (Gemini/GPT) to analyze complex legal building codes and technical documentation.
• Implement automated administrative workflows to recover a few hours of manual work per week.

This instructor-led, live training in New Zealand (online or onsite) is aimed at beginner-level to intermediate-level professionals from various departments who wish to learn how to efficiently use AI tools for daily tasks, saving time and improving productivity.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Identify AI-powered tools suitable for different tasks.
• Automate repetitive processes to improve workflow efficiency.
• Leverage AI for better communication, reporting, and decision-making.
• Ensure responsible and ethical AI usage in the workplace.

This facilitated, live learning experience in New Zealand is designed for cross-functional teams from both business and IT.

By the conclusion of this programme, participants will be able to:
