PROGRAMME DESCRIPTION
Embracing Generative AI is crucial in today's dynamic environment. By harnessing this technology, organisations can optimise workflows, reduce operational timelines, and improve workplace performance. This technological advancement is not merely limited to specialised areas or specific industries but holds the promise to significantly improve learning and performance across many areas in all workplaces.
The course aims to empower professionals with know-hows of learning interventions such as in-house training sessions, learning through coaching and mentoring, and self-driven continuous learning, armed with practical knowledge and skills in utilising Large Language Models (LLMs) and various Generative AI Image Creation tools to benefit fellow employees within an organisation. By using these technologies, participants can enhance the quality of their work, reduce the time required to complete tasks, and foster innovation, leading to more effective solutions and streamlined processes. They will also gain invaluable insights and impart such knowledge to fellow employees of the organisation the most effective and efficient ways of integrating Generative AI into their daily operations.
The course is meticulously designed to be a catalyst, propelling professionals towards a future where they harness the full potential of Generative A to drive workplace efficiency and innovation. The practical sessions in this course, simulating a workplace setting will include:
- Collaborative sessions simulating real-world scenarios where teams co-create solutions using Generative AI.
- Practical insights into harnessing LLMs for diverse professional requirements and contexts.
- Opportunities to craft unique visuals and discover the potential of combining Generative AI Image Creation tools with LLMs.
