Coming To Lowood One- Mount Barker
Are you ready to move beyond the AI hype and start using it for a real competitive advantage?
You've likely experimented with tools like ChatGPT. But the real power isn't just in writing emails faster โ€“ it's in building a smarter, more efficient, and more competitive business. This workshop is a practical playbook on how to use next-level AI for what truly matters: saving time and your bottom line.

This is beyond a basic introduction. Weโ€™ll dive into tools and techniques that can give your small business a serious edge.

This workshop will cover:
AI for Day-to-Day Efficiency: Save up to a day per week by speeding up the jobs you donโ€™t love. Generate documents, policies, procedures and templates, respond to emails, speed up decision making and safely store internal knowledge for referencing by yourself and staff.

AI for Intelligent Marketing: Learn to use AI for personalised marketing campaigns, analyse customer behaviour, and develop a content strategy.

AI for Business Strategy: Use AI as a business analyst โ€“ assess your competitors, identify market opportunities and turn your own ideas and sales data into clear, actionable insights for better decision-making.

Developing Your AI Roadmap: Start your actionable plan to integrate these strategies into your business โ€“ no technical background required.

By the end of this workshop, you will be aware of low-cost AI tools and how to use them as a strategic asset to sharpen your marketing, supercharge your workflow and reclaim valuable time through AI shortcuts.

This workshop is perfect for: Small business owners, managers, and marketers who understand the basics of AI and are now asking, "How do I use this to actually grow my business and get ahead?"

Presented by Mark Shenton, EO for Albany Business Centre
