Next Steps in AI – Practical AI Skills Workshop

Once you've mastered the basics, the next opportunity is using AI to support repeatable work, improve processes and unlock greater efficiency. Delivered by AI specialist and Preductive founder Andrew Nicol in partnership with the EMA, this interactive workshop focuses on practical ways leaders can use AI agents, automation and customised AI tools to support business performance and workforce capability.

You'll learn how to:

• Create a habit of experimenting every week.
• Personalise your AI through instructions that change the game
• Learn how to use projects/notebooks to save hours.
• Introduction to Skills & Agents

Why attend?

• Explore how AI can be embedded into everyday work practices across teams.
• Learn practical approaches to leading AI adoption and supporting your people through change.
• Understand how to build confidence, capability and responsible AI use across your organisation.

This workshop helps business leaders develop a clear plan for turning AI knowledge into measurable business and workforce outcomes.

Attend as a standalone session or pair it with AI for Better Work to create a complete learning pathway from fundamentals through to practical application.

These workshops are delivered as part of the EMA's Workforce 2030 programme, which helps New Zealand leaders build the skills, confidence and capability needed to lead workforce transformation in the AI era, with a strong focus on practical action, leadership and people-centred change.

About Andrew Nicol and Preductive:
Through Preductive, Andrew works directly with CEOs and business owners to unlock clarity, establish solid foundations, and run hands-on “agentic sprints” that deliver AI-driven solutions within weeks, not years. He interviewed 100 senior leaders last year to understand their challenges, adoption rates, and market readiness. His approach is software-agnostic, practical, and centred on amplifying people rather than replacing them.
