Generative AI Fluency

Move from curiosity to confident capability in 8 weeks. A structured, ROI-driven learning journey that helps professionals embed AI into daily work - safely, ethically, and effectively. You’ll learn how to design prompts, build workflows, measure ROI, and lead AI adoption with purpose and confidence.

Description

This program's vision is to transform capable professionals into confident AI-enabled leaders.

Participants progress step-by-step up the AI Fluency Ladder - from safe setup to advanced workflow design - gaining both the technical fluency and human judgement needed to drive sustainable adoption.

  • Duration: 8 weeks (1 orientation + 7 learning weeks)

  • Format: Weekly 90-minute live workshops + labs + optional mini-labs

  • Audience: Professionals, team leaders, and knowledge workers

  • Outcome: Practical fluency in prompt design, workflow building, ROI measurement, and responsible AI leadership

 

Why It Matters

AI is no longer a future skill - it’s today’s competitive edge. Yet, without fluency, organisations risk two extremes: wasted potential or unsafe automation.

This program bridges that gap. It helps professionals:

  • Turn AI curiosity into measurable performance gains.

  • Replace random prompting with repeatable, governed workflows.

  • Build trust in AI through safe, human-in-the-loop practices.

  • Translate AI efficiency into strategic leadership impact.

The result? Teams that work faster, think deeper, and stay ahead - not because of the technology alone, but because they understand how to use it responsibly and creatively.

Objectives

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

  • Understand AI Mechanics & Ethics - Explain how generative AI and large language models work, and apply safe, ethical practices in everyday use.

  • Design Structured Prompts (POD-5) - Use GPT-5’s native grammar to craft precise, truth-based prompts with defined acceptance criteria.

  • Build and Refine Workflows - Convert individual prompts into repeatable SOPs and multi-role AI workflows that save time and improve quality.

  • Measure and Track ROI - Quantify the value of AI-enabled processes using a 30-day ROI scorecard and real baseline metrics.

  • Develop Governance and Safety Frameworks - Create AI Playbooks with Human-in-the-Loop checks and C-Q-R-C standards for quality and compliance.

  • Lead AI Adoption Strategically - Craft and present a leadership memo and ROI showcase that connect AI capability to business outcomes.

Who Can Enrol

Ideal for professionals and leaders who:

  • Want to move beyond theory into practical, results-driven AI application.

  • Need structured guidance to safely integrate AI into their workflows.

  • Are ready to measure ROI and lead AI adoption across teams.
    No technical background required - only curiosity and a willingness to learn

Why this Program Stands Out

This isn’t another AI tutorial. It’s a transformation in how you think and work.

  • Personalised for You – Every exercise applies to your real role deliverables, building tools that save hours, not hypotheticals.

  • Proven in Top Organisations – Frameworks refined with St Kilda Football Club, Pillow Talk, and Ladbrokes | Neds deliver real business impact.

  • Human-Centred & Ethical – You’ll learn to build AI workflows with bias checks, governance, and integrity baked in.

  • Led by a Practitioner – Created by Alexie O’Brien, an AI Enablement Coach and former finance & retail exec, trusted by enterprise leaders.

  • ROI focused.  Measure your productivity gains.
