One day. Six modules. Twelve exercises. Every participant walks out with twelve completed artefacts their organisation can use on Monday.
Designed for organisations adopting AI that need to govern it. Built for CISOs, COOs, CEOs, directors, and their teams.
Build a shared, accurate mental model of how generative AI works — its capabilities, its failure modes, and the boundary between hype and what these systems can reliably do inside your organisation.
Move beyond ad-hoc prompting to repeatable, auditable prompt structures. Learn the framework that makes outputs consistent across teams, vendors, and models.
Classify workflows and decide what to automate, what to augment, and what to leave alone. Walk away with an automation verdict for each workflow you bring into the room.
Engineer production-grade system prompts with role definitions, guardrails, output contracts, and fallback behaviour — the kind that survives real users and real edge cases.
Audit the data your AI initiatives will actually depend on, surface the unsanctioned AI tools already in use across your organisation, and produce a remediation plan you can hand to IT and compliance.
Stand up the governance layer: an AI risk register, an acceptable use policy your legal team can sign off on, and a 90-day adoption plan that ties capability rollout to risk controls.
No other workshop in South Africa produces governance artefacts in the room. Every participant leaves with completed deliverables — not slides, not theory, not homework.
A documented inventory of your team's workflows, each tagged with an automate / augment / leave-alone verdict and the reasoning behind it.
A fully engineered system prompt — role, guardrails, output contract, fallback behaviour — ready to drop into a deployed assistant.
An honest assessment of whether your data can support the AI initiatives you're considering, with a prioritised remediation plan.
A surfaced list of unsanctioned AI tools already in use across your organisation, with risk classification and next-step actions.
A structured risk register covering operational, regulatory, reputational, and security risks — formatted to slot directly into your existing GRC stack.
A defensible AI acceptable use policy written in language your legal team and your staff can both work with — not boilerplate, not vendor copy-paste.
A sequenced 90-day adoption plan that ties capability rollout to risk controls, ownership, and measurable checkpoints — so AI adoption stops being an aspiration and starts being a programme. Plus five additional artefacts produced through the twelve exercises.
Don't just take our word for it — hear from professionals who have transformed their AI capabilities through our training.
"Yovesh's style of hosting the workshop is professional, methodical and highly relatable. The workshop scenarios are easy to follow whilst sharpening one's skills to write great AI prompts. We even coded a little program by only using Gen AI prompts."
"The workshop far exceeded all my expectations. Every moment was packed with practical insights and real-world applications that have already transformed the way I interact with AI."
"I found the Forward Thinking Systems AI Workshop to be incredibly insightful. In just a few hours, I gained a solid understanding of generative AI and how it can be applied in real-world scenarios."
"Very Informative 5/5. I am glad I attended this workshop! The AI Chatbot and tools were very unique. I would recommend the monthly subscription to the AI tools."
"Very Informative and a great way to learn how to improve your prompting. I have already recommended this workshop to my brother."
"A very interesting and lively course filled with lots of information, interactions and well facilitated answers to all my questions through my personal AI bot. All in all a great experience, 5 star."
