A small facilitated group exploring practical uses of Generative AI in planning practice for sole practitioners.
Registration now open – first session starts next Tuesday 21 April.
The GenAI Skills Lab is a small facilitated learning group designed for planning sole practitioners and independent planners who want to develop practical skills using Generative AI tools.
Working independently can make it difficult to experiment with new tools or compare approaches with others. The Skills Lab provides a small working group where planners can try techniques, discuss practical use cases, and share experiences.
The focus is not only on planning tasks, but also on how GenAI can support sole practitioner workflows and businesses.

Skill Level
This series is aimed at planners who have already experimented a little with GenAI tools (such as ChatGPT or Copilot) and want to develop their skills further.
It is not a course on how to get started with AI, but a group for building on basic experience and applying AI more effectively in practice. It is most suited to those at the beginner or intermediate level in their use of GenAI.
