AI literacy for leaders

Duration: 1.5 - 2 hours

Attendees: 15 - 20

Level:  Beginner to regular users

Industry: SME through to large public and private sector organisations.

For leaders in every industry, AI Literacy is no longer optional. AI tools increasingly shape the way busineses deliver services, analyse information, and engage with communities. This means that leaders need to understand AI, so they can identify both the opportunities and the risks.

This workshop is designed specifically for New Zealand leaders, equipping them with the knowledge to guide their organisation’s adoption of AI responsibly, strategically, and in a way that upholds public and internal staff trust.

By the end of the session, leaders will have a clear, practical understanding of AI; what it is and isn’t, how it can be responsibly applied in their organisation, and their role in setting the direction, policy, and tone for safe, transparent, and accountable use.

AI literacy for teams

Duration: 1 - 1.5 hours

Attendees: 40 - 100+

Level:  Beginner to regular users

Industry: SME through to large public and private sector organisations.

AI is reshaping how teams make decisions, deliver services, and communicate with communities across the world.

The biggest risk for most teams is not that AI will replace people, or that we will fall behind in AI adoption, but that it will be used without literacy - and it’s already happening. We have an increasingly AI-competent society - people are familiar with using AI tools - but we forget that when it comes to AI; using isn’t the same as understanding.

This workshop provides attendees with a foundation of AI literacy and practical skills needed to balance efficiency with responsibility.

AI literacy for marketing and communications professionals

Duration: 2 - 2.5 hours

Attendees: 15 - 20

Level:  Beginner to regular users

Industry: SME through to large public and private sector organisations.

We’re living in a world where AI adoption is fast outpacing AI literacy - and the gap is growing.

For marketing and communications professionals, AI opens up a world of opportunity; but provides an equal amount of risk as we navigate complex internal and external perceptions of AI.

AI impacts us in more ways than many other professions, we’re navigating:

  • What AI means for us, our industry, our sense of worth and its practical applications at our work

  • The perception of what AI means for comms and marketing from people outside of our profession

  • Supporting change management processes as AI adoption is communicated to internal and external audiences

  • Helping to fix things when people and AI go wrong.

It doesn’t matter what industry you are in, how senior you are, or what your job title says; being AI literate - understanding AI - is now an essential professional skill.

  • Providing our leaders with this context has now empowered them to consider how AI can be used for their areas, enables them to understand our AI policy and some of the organisational decisions around AI use, plus gives them the appropriate awareness of risk. More than anything, Lizi is an engaging speaker that makes the topic accessible (unlike other really technical training available) and her session got a big tick of approval from our cohort.

  • "I came in a skeptic and left a skeptic with more information. It was a sensible, realistic overview and I found Lizi's non-techy approach really refreshing and grounded - she understood our business and our concerns and didn't bullshit us on the answers."

  • “I was impressed by Lizi’s ability to pitch messaging to different audiences. She keeps you engaged and interested.”

    Michael McCartney, CEO Horizons Regional Council (AI Literacy for Leaders + Elected Members).

  • "The AI Literacy workshops were incredibly valuable for our team. They struck a great balance between accessibility and depth - demystifying AI concepts while also offering practical insights we could immediately apply in our work. The workshop format created a welcoming environment that encouraged questions and discussion, and the content was tailored in a way that made it relevant to business challenges."

    Janet Reynolds, Marketing and Communications Manager, Central Economic Development Agency.

  • “Meitaki ranuinui - thank you for arranging yesterday’s PD with Lizi from Little and Loud. Her presentation was informative, practical, relevant, authentic and fun.”

FAQ

  • Because of the demand for in-house AI literacy trainings I am doing less public workshops.

    However, if you are interested in attending a workshop please get in touch and I’ll see if I can pull together a few interested parties near you to hold a workshop.

  • Most people who use AI are self-taught, which means that they have a high degree of competency (practical skills) but are missing the foundational skill of AI literacy (understanding and critical thinking).

    These workshops are designed to improve AI literacy without attendees needing a background in using AI tools.

  • And so they should be!

    I’ve had IT consultants and Chief Information Technology Officers (CITOs) sit in on and endorse my sessions. If you’d like me to meet with your IT team to discuss my approach, or a testimonial from one of these people - please get in touch.

  • Many of my attendees have undergone AI trainings at conferences or in house with software providers.

    These workshops focus on AI literacy - understanding how AI tools work and how to navigate the complexities they present; something that’s not always covered by other AI training.

    I’ve been told that these sessions work well alongside other AI trainings. Let me know if you’d like to talk to someone who’s had a similar experience.

  • Even if that’s your organisation’s policy, I’d bet my house that people are using more than just Teams.

    This workshop is designed to provide people with the skills and knowledge to use any AI tool safely. This is an approach endorsed by IT teams around the country, and means that the content is relevant for any AI tool.

  • Occasionally, yes but the majority of my work is in-person. If you’d like to know more, please get in touch.
