Why This Now?
BEFORE the Masterclass, you may be grappling with how to use AI effectively or unsure of its true potential. But AFTER attending, you’ll emerge with a clear roadmap to success, armed with insights from real-world examples that have reshaped industries. Plus you’ll understand the risks, properly evaluate hype vs reality from vendors and data you need for your next steps in AI.
2024 is the time of AI and you’d be forgiven for thinking that every business on the planet is now an AI company…:)
You hear claims like: “You can plug in AI anywhere, and it will just work…”
No, it won’t!
In reality: to succeed with AI, you need to understand data quality.
For instance, not every company needs a Large Language Model (LLM). You’ll need to appreciate the difference between generative AI and classical Machine Learning. ML is the stuff we’ve using for ages until the generative AI revolution took over this year. At the core foundation, it pays to make sure your company’s data management is in good shape.
AI will help accelerate good data practices.
Without it, your AI strategy won’t get very far. Build a solid DATA foundation first.
There’s a lot of talk about AI theory. You will leave this course with the knowledge and skills to apply AI and ChatGPT techniques to tackle business challenges immediately.
Our AI expert team will assess the merit of your AI projects and advise on implementation.

MASTERCLASS SUMMARY
The Masterclass is directly relevant to your own work and is based on real-world case studies and how you can apply the key principles in practice. It is not a lecture – but a series of hands-on interactive exercises which will keep you and your colleagues very engaged throughout the day.
Successful AI deployments are still few and far between. You may be planning to hire a Head of AI – to create an org-wide strategy. Or bring in a specialist AI consultancy.
Here’s another approach:
Why not start by getting your own teams up to speed with the tech, and figure out how best to deploy it?
Pull together your best brains from across the business, and explore:
1-Your challenges which are “AI ready” – where reliable, accurate data are accessible
2-Relevant global AI use cases from other sectors and markets which provide meaningful benchmarks and pitfalls to avoid
3-AI tools which answer your real-time questions, in a safe place for them to learn together and experiment
This Masterclass is – by design – interactive and immersive. With a fine balance of presentations, case studies, hands-on exercises, and group discussions. Actual case studies can be selected based on your industry/interest and customized to suit.
