The AI Enabled Manager™ · 1 day
AI gave you an answer.
Would you put your name to it?
Your managers already have AI tools. What they need is the judgement to use them well: prompts that get useful answers, a thinking partner for hard conversations, and the discipline to check before they send. The AI Enabled Manager™ is a hands-on day where every exercise runs on participants’ own computers.
CRISP + E
The prompt hierarchy behind every exercise
Their own work
Emails, conversations, presentations and reports from their role
12 ready-to-use prompts
Plus the signature Challenge My Thinking prompt
Sound familiar?
“We asked AI a vague question and got a vague answer.”
“I’m never sure what I’m allowed to paste in.”
“It agreed with everything I said. That’s not much help.”
What changes
AI informs. Managers decide.
01
Prompt with precision
CRISP + E turns vague requests into precise, usable output, by giving the AI the context, role and standard it can’t guess.
02
Rehearse the hard conversations
AI acts as a coach, then plays the employee, then reviews how the manager handled it, all before the real conversation.
03
Keep judgement in charge
The Responsible AI Checklist: protect confidential data, verify facts, check for bias and stay accountable for every output.
The programme
Inside the workshop
Day 1
Modules 1 to 3 · Think better with AI
The AI reality check: where AI helps, where it doesn’t, and the risks every manager must understand
Better prompts, better thinking: CRISP + E and S.E.C.U.R.E. tested on a real email, from the poor prompt to the one that works
Difficult conversations: prepare, role-play and debrief a performance conversation with AI as coach and sparring partner
Day 2
Modules 4 to 6 · Put it to work
Clearer presentations: a prompt sequence for opening, body, close and speaker notes, then Copilot in PowerPoint builds the slides
Using AI responsibly: validation, confidentiality and professional judgement, with a checklist they use every time
Your personal AI toolkit: sandbox time on their own scenarios, a prompt library and an action plan
The signature Challenge My Thinking prompt, which asks AI to stress-test a proposal like an experienced leader, never a yes-machine
