For businesses, AI is one of the most powerful ways to do more with less—boosting productivity, scaling your impact, and cutting costs without adding headcount.

This workshop is for you if you’re already using AI and want more from it.  This session will help you turn AI into a practical advantage that frees up your time and stretches your resources further.

Through live demonstrations and real-world examples, you’ll see how Claude can support marketing, operations, customer service, planning and overall productivity—all while complementing the business tools you already use.

By the end of this session, you will be able to:

• Identify where AI can save time and boost productivity across your everyday business tasks.
• Explain how Claude complements your existing tools and processes.
• Evaluate where AI can create the greatest value for your business today—and tomorrow.
• Prepare for hands-on Claude AI implementation using a guided homework package.
