Introduction

In a world of constant change and increasing complexity, professionals are expected to make faster and better decisions than ever before. Yet many struggle with overwhelming information, unclear problem framing, competing priorities, hidden assumptions. Generative AI (GenAI) tools like ChatGPT offer powerful support; but only when used with sound human thinking and structured questioning. Without critical thinking, AI becomes just another source of noise. The real opportunity lies in using AI to accelerate how we move from insight to action.

PROGRAMME OBJECTIVES

This two-day professional program equips participants with the capability to transform data into clear, actionable decisions using Generative AI. Participants will learn the S.P.E.E.D. Model™, a structured decision-making framework that enables them to:

• Scope the decision
• Position the context
• Examine the evidence
• Evaluate the options
• Decide & Deliver

Through practical exercises and real-world scenarios, participants will develop the ability to structure complex issues, apply AI-assisted analysis, evaluate trade-offs, and communicate defensible decisions and recommendations.

The program emphasises using GenAI to enhance human judgement rather than replace human thinking, helping professionals improve decision clarity, speed, and organisational responsiveness. It equips you with the insights and strategies to collaborate effectively with GenAI, foster innovation, and drive transformative change in your organisation.

By the end of the course, participants will be able to:

1. Apply S.P.E.E.D. and structured prompting techniques to support decision-making.
2. Analyse workplace issues using contextual and evidence-based thinking.
