Working Smarter with AI
AI is changing how you work. Do you know how?
The professionals who will make the difference aren't the smartest or most technical. They're the ones learning how to use AI effectively right now. In this workshop, you'll learn exactly that.
Your work
[ The shift ]
From executor to conductor
Not long ago, AI was a chatbot you asked short questions. Useful for a brainstorm, good enough for a first draft that you then had to heavily edit.
That's over. The latest AI models don't just understand what you ask, but what you mean. They independently conduct research, analyze data, write reports, and build complete strategies. Tasks that used to take you hours or days now take minutes.
The shift is fundamental: you no longer need to do everything yourself. You need to know which AI instruments to deploy, when, and how to direct them. From executor to conductor of an AI orchestra.
But — and this is crucial — you remain indispensable. AI is exactly as good as what you put into it. Your expertise, context, and judgment determine whether the output is brilliant or worthless. Garbage in, garbage out. Those who direct AI without subject matter knowledge get content-empty results.
50%of office work will be automated within 5 years
According to Dario Amodei (CEO Anthropic), the transition is happening faster than we've ever experienced.
18months before most knowledge work tasks are performed by AI
Mustafa Suleyman (Microsoft AI chief) expects this applies to accountants, lawyers, and other professionals.
5hper week you save on average with effective AI use
Provided you know how. The difference between AI as a chatbot and AI as a work partner is enormous.
What makes this workshop different
Most AI trainings let you play with ChatGPT for an hour and send you home with a few example questions. That's like teaching someone to drive by only showing them the steering wheel.
In this workshop, we go deeper. You'll learn how the technology works, when to use which model, how to give AI the right context and instructions for quality output, and how to integrate AI into your daily workflow.
In this training, we work with Claude and Claude Cowork as primary tools. Why? Because Claude is currently the strongest at understanding nuance, following complex instructions, and collaborating on longer tasks. The principles you learn — providing the right context, designing workflows, evaluating output — are universally applicable.
We also pay extensive attention to safe use of AI. What risks are associated with language models? What information should you never share with an LLM? How do you prevent confidential company data from ending up in a training set? You'll go home with clear guidelines for yourself and your team.

For everyone who works with knowledge
Whether you write reports, devise strategies, advise clients, or lead projects. If AI impacts your work, this workshop is for you.
Marketers & Communications
You write content, run campaigns, and analyze results. AI can do your research, write content, and develop complete strategies. You'll learn how to direct that.
From hours of writing to AI-driven content production.
Managers & Team Leaders
You want your team to use AI effectively, but you don't know where to start. You'll learn what's possible, how to roll it out safely, and how to create policy for it.
From waiting to AI strategy for your team.
Consultants & Advisors
You do research, write advice, and create presentations. AI can take a significant portion of the execution work off your hands, so you can focus on the substance.
From days of research to hours. With better output.
Entrepreneurs & Freelancers
You do everything yourself: from email to bookkeeping, from content to customer service. AI is your most affordable and versatile new employee. You'll learn how to deploy it.
From doing everything yourself to smart delegation to AI.
This workshop is less suitable if you...
- Are bound by your organization to a specific tool like Microsoft Copilot. We work with Claude and Claude Cowork. The principles are universal, but the hands-on exercises are not.
- Already work daily with AI agents and automations. Then we recommend our Agentic Engineering workshop.
- Want a technical deep-dive into building software with AI yourself. Check out our Agentic Engineering workshop for that.
- Only expect an inspirational talk. This workshop is hands-on, you'll be working yourself.
[ The program ]
What you'll learn
This workshop follows our Think again method: first understand how AI works and what it can do, then reconsider how you do your work, and only then apply it yourself with your own tasks and projects.
You shift from "I use AI occasionally" to "AI is an integral part of how I work".
1
Understand
How AI works, what it can do, and what it can't
How AI thinks (and how it doesn't)
No technical lecture, but a clear picture of how language models work. So you understand why AI does some things brilliantly and other things completely wrong.
- How LLMs work: from input to output
- Why AI hallucinates and how to recognize it
- The difference between models: Claude, GPT, Gemini
Result: you understand the technology and make better choices.
Where AI excels (and where it doesn't)
AI is not a magic bullet. You'll learn for which tasks it's a game changer, where you should be cautious, and when human work remains irreplaceable.
- Tasks where AI is better than you (and vice versa)
- Risks: privacy, reliability, and the EU AI Act
- Free vs. paid: when is a subscription worthwhile?
Result: you know when to use AI and when not to.

Reconsider
How to redesign your work with AI
Giving AI the right context
The difference between useless and brilliant AI output is rarely about a single question. It's about the context you provide: background, examples, constraints, and goals. That's more than a prompt. And it's precisely why your knowledge and experience are so valuable — you know what the AI needs to know, and you judge whether the output is correct.
- Task, context, and direction: the framework for quality output
- Providing examples, roles, and background knowledge
- From isolated questions to structured collaboration with AI
Result: you get output you can immediately work with.
Redesigning your workflow
Not adding AI to your existing workflow, but redesigning your workflow with AI as the starting point. That's where the real time savings are.
- Audit your own work week: where are the biggest time savings?
- AI for research, analysis, writing, and reporting
- Templates and reusable instruction sets for recurring tasks
Result: you redesign your workflow around AI.
Responsible and safe AI use
AI tools are powerful, but not without risk. You'll learn what dangers are associated with language models and how to manage them within your organization.
- What you never share with an LLM: passwords, client data, trade secrets
- How data is processed by AI providers (and when it is safe)
- The EU AI Act: what does it mean for you and your organization?
- Recognizing hallucinations and fact-checking as standard practice
Result: you know exactly what to share and not share with AI, and why.

Apply
Hands-on with your own work and tasks
Working with Claude & Cowork
Getting to know your primary AI work partner
- Using Claude for research, writing, and analysis
- Claude Cowork: collaborating on documents and projects
- Effectively using projects, artifacts, and longer conversations
Result: you work effectively with AI on complex tasks.
Agents & automations
The next step: AI that performs tasks independently
- What are AI agents and how do they work?
- Automating repetitive tasks with AI
- Designing your own AI workflow for recurring tasks
Result: you automate repetitive tasks with AI.
Your personal AI action plan
You'll go home with a concrete plan. Not with slides you'll never open again, but with:
- An overview of the AI tools that fit your work
- Reusable instruction sets and templates for your daily tasks
- A 30-60-90 day plan to integrate AI into your workflow
Result: you have a concrete plan you can execute tomorrow.
