SUMMARY:AI PMO / Effective Use of AI Tools – 102 Intermediate
DESCRIPTION:Do you know your Context Window from your Cutoff Date?\nYour Flipped from your Chain of Thought?\nYour Shots from your Tokens? \nIf not\, don’t panic – you’re not alone. \nThe House of PMO is running a two-part webinar series designed to help PMO professionals build confidence in using Generative AI tools. We’ll cut through the jargon\, explore the essentials\, and show you how to avoid the common mistakes people make when getting started with tools like ChatGPT\, Gemini and Co-Pilot. \nNow that you’ve got the foundations (see the first session here)\, it’s time to level up. This intermediate session dives deeper into the world of Generative AI\, showing you how to move beyond “basic prompting” into advanced reasoning\, research\, and collaboration techniques. \nWhat You’ll Learn \n\nInside the AI Mind: How reasoning models “think\,” plan\, and refine – plus how to design prompts that unlock deeper\, more structured responses.\nDoing Serious Research with AI: How to get detailed\, credible outputs from large datasets – while knowing when and how to double-check sources.\nPrompting Like a Pro: Zero-shot\, few-shot\, and many-shot prompting\, step-by-step reasoning\, contrastive examples\, and structured outputs.\nNext-Level Tools & Features: Experiment with custom styles\, shared workspaces\, Canvas Mode for content creation\, and NotebookLM for integrating sources into mind maps or audio/visual summaries.\nFrameworks that Stick: Revisit C.R.E.A.T.E. and the 555 Rule – this time with more sophisticated applications to sharpen your 5 Cs of Prompting Skills.\n\nBy the end\, you’ll be comfortable using AI not just as a clever assistant\, but as a serious partner in thinking\, planning and delivery. \nBecause here’s the truth:AI won’t replace humans — but humans using AI will outpace those who don’t. \n  \nMeet the expert\nWe’ve teamed up with Mike Weston-Burt (ex-KPMG) to deliver these sessions. With 40 years in professional services\, Mike has trained over 50\,000 people across 5 continents and now runs his own AI training consultancy. He is at the forefront of helping organisations large and small make the most of the exciting opportunities GenAI offers. You’ll also be able to catch Mike at PMO Learn! in Edinburgh this November. \nRegister Today\n\nDate: Monday 20th October\nDuration: 60 minutes and additional 30 minutes live demos and Q&A\nFree to attend for members / £5 to charity for non-members [see more]\n\nWant to sign up for the first – introductory level – session which takes place on the 15th October?

SUMMARY:Prompt Engineering for the PMO
DESCRIPTION:Prompt engineering is basically the art of crafting questions or commands that help guide AI models\, like ChatGPT\, CoPilot or Google Gemini\, to generate more accurate and useful responses or content. It involves understanding how to effectively communicate with the AI to get the best results\, whether that’s for generating text\, images\, or analysing data. It’s a bit like knowing the right way to ask a question to get the most informative answer. \nIn this session we’ll be taking a look at some of the core documentation and data that the PMO uses and crafting different prompts to help extract useful information and insights. \nIt’s a practical session and you’ll be expected to get thinking about useful prompts too. There will also be some live interaction with a couple of popular AI models\, so who knows what we will be learning on the day! \nThis session is open to all members and is aligned to the knowledge area of using applications and tools – plus the analytical\, thinking and problem-solving skills in the PMO Competency Framework.
