Learn where AI helps by doing the work. AI workshops for foundations: practical skills and safe use.
Some colleagues already use ChatGPT; others wonder what happens to confidential documents. A workshop gives your team practice on relevant tasks and a shared way of deciding how to use the tools.
A useful exercise also reveals an unusable result
We select work your team recognises: summarising an application, structuring a board paper or drafting a clear request for information. Participants compare the output with the source and spot information that has been omitted or changed.
Exercises use suitable examples or explicitly approved material in an appropriate environment. Removing names is not necessarily enough: project details, financial information or unusual circumstances can still identify someone.
What the workflow could look like
-
01
Agree tasks and starting knowledge
We discuss roles, existing tools and the team’s questions. These determine exercises, duration and group size. A board session needs a different emphasis from hands-on training for caseworkers.
-
02
Check results directly
Participants write instructions, compare versions and verify sources. We include incomplete and conflicting material so limitations become visible in practice.
-
03
Record shared practices and next steps
We develop understandable rules for approved tools, confidential information and sign-off. Ideas for further applications are collected. A technical or financial assessment can follow separately.
What we establish before building
Workshops can be remote or on site by agreement. Access and training material are prepared in advance so the session can focus on practice. Pricing reflects format, duration and the group attending.
If staff are learning to configure their own assistants, we work within the agreed organisational environment. Ownership, source maintenance and handling errors are part of the exercise alongside the instructions given to the model.
Agree the scope and cost first
Workshop pricing reflects learning goals, preparation, duration and participants. The preparation call is free. An audit or implementation project is a separate commission, not a prerequisite for training.
Questions from foundation teams
Do participants need technical experience?
We adapt the format to the group. Introductory sessions need no technical background. More advanced work can have a separate session.
Will we use real applicant or donor data?
Only where the material and environment have been explicitly approved beforehand. Initial exercises can use suitable examples without confidential content.
Is a workshop included in the audit?
No. The audit and workshop serve different purposes and are listed separately in the offer. The audit evaluates opportunities; a workshop develops practical skills and shared working practices.

What should your team be able to do afterwards?
Tell us who will attend, their experience and typical tasks. The free preparation call helps agree a learning objective and format.
