AI for Everyday Professionals
Build practical fluency with generative AI: where it can help, how to direct it, and when human review remains essential.
Make the technology useful within the responsibilities of the work
Access to an AI tool does not automatically create the judgment to use it well. ELS connects practical AI skills with the responsibilities that remain human: verifying information, protecting confidential material, choosing appropriate use cases, preserving organizational voice, and taking ownership of the result.
Who this work serves
Professionals beginning to use AI, managers seeking practical applications, teams adopting new tools, and leaders responsible for setting expectations for responsible use.
Selected courses and learning experiences
These are starting points from the ELS course catalog. Programs can be selected individually or connected into a development sequence.
ChatGPT for Managers
Apply AI to drafting communications, summarizing information, problem-solving, planning, and exploring scenarios while keeping leadership judgment with the manager.
AI-Ready Teams
Prepare leaders to support adoption, address workforce questions, and guide people through an AI-enabled workplace.
Responsible AI and Automation in the Workplace
Examine governance, ethics, organizational expectations, and risks that need attention as AI use expands.
AI-Assisted Presentations: From Prompt to Polished Deck
Use AI to support presentation development while retaining ownership of the message, strategy, accuracy, and final delivery.
AI Tools for Professional Writing
Practice brainstorming, outlining, drafting, revising, and summarizing with attention to fact checking, confidentiality, organizational voice, and final review.
Practical application
- Identify a suitable workplace task and clarify the intended output.
- Provide useful context and instructions to an AI tool.
- Review output for accuracy, relevance, tone, and missing information.
- Revise results rather than accepting an answer simply because it sounds confident.
- Follow organizational requirements for confidential information and approved tools.
Connect skill building with organizational expectations
Development can be aligned with authorized policies, approved tools, real workflows, and representative tasks. Leaders and employees can address adoption together: what the technology can assist, where it creates concerns, and what review and accountability are required.
Delivery built around the learning
Virtual delivery is preferred for AI, professional writing, presentation development, and screen-based skill building. Sessions are designed for participation and practical application. Multi-session engagements can combine separate in-person and virtual sessions. The audience, scope, sequence, and reinforcement are agreed around the organization’s needs.
