In the face of emerging technologies, business professionals may wonder which parts of their skillset they need to develop in order to stay relevant. To maintain a competitive edge, it's critical for workers to upskill in one area of technology that's taking the world by storm: Artificial Intelligence (AI). AI refers to machines that can carry out tasks like learning, problem-solving, and decision-making. It can assist companies in streamlining their business operations, maximising efficiency, and making better decisions through data-driven insights and recommendations.
This article will cover four skills that have huge potential for the future of work, and methods employees can use to obtain these skills for themselves.
1. Generative AI Mastery

Over the past few years, ChatGPT has become a household name. Everyone, from students to business owners, have started using it, and when one considers the versatility of Generative AI tools, its popularity comes as no surprise. Writing content, generating code, creating images, and designing product ideas are just a few of its functions. Already, companies are trying to increase usage of this type of technology. It's only a matter of time before more offices require their employees to be familiar with Generative AI.
In Aventis Learning Group's (ALG) one-day course on Generative AI: Mastering Image, Audio, and Video Creation for Business Professionals, participants will gain a broad understanding of Generative AI and how it can be used in content creation. The training was designed for business professionals and anyone else who wants to use cutting-edge AI technologies to add multimedia content to their work. It will teach participants to leverage such tools to create appealing, educational content including graphics, advertisements, and flyers. Participants will also learn new skills, such as how to produce AI-powered videos and integrate audio voiceovers into short films.
2. Optimising Business Communication

In the workforce, communicating effectively has always been an essential skill, but it can be tricky to master. Employees may struggle to figure out the best way to get their points across or how to customise emails for different audiences. However, nearly every job requires workers to be able to communicate well both within their teams and with any external clients. Good communication can reduce conflict, boost engagement among team members, improve client relations, and create a more competent and productive workforce.
This is where the course "Elevate Your Business Communication Skills with ChatGPT & Generative AI" comes in. Through this hands-on workshop, attendees will learn to boost their business communication skills with the use of Generative AI tools. Participants will be able to employ various programs to improve their workflows, tackle common communication challenges, enhance conflict resolution, and optimise their written communication. The course will also teach participants how to personalise their writing to different audiences and expedite communication processes.
3. Fraud Awareness and Risk Management

Managing fraud is crucial for organisations across the world, and it will likely become even more relevant as technology advances. A company's defence against fraudulent attacks typically involves a wide range of tasks like real-time monitoring, identifying suspicious activity, investigative procedures, and risk assessment. Businesses that can manage fraud successfully decrease their financial losses, boost their customer trust, and maintain good reputations.
The “1-Day Workshop: AI for Fraud Prevention & Risk Management” course will cover how best to handle fraud and other risks in an increasingly technological landscape. By employing user-friendly AI tools, participants will get hands-on experience and information on how to incorporate these solutions into their current fraud management processes. Following the session, participants will have access to technical support forums for certain AI technologies, as well as to online communities and resources for further exploration.
This course is especially suitable for business managers in finance-related sectors, but it's also appropriate for fraud analysts, risk management professionals, financial auditors, and compliance officers. Participants do not need to have a coding background to use the tools covered.
4. Strategic Problem-Solving

While the future of work may involve shifts in the way organisations function—be those trends towards remote working or the need to adapt to new technologies—how these shifts play out will vary from company to company. What's universal is that leaders and employees alike will need to have the ability to find solutions to any issues that come up as the world continues to change. Employers must prepare workers to best handle challenges in the workplace, and they can use technology to accomplish this.
“Using Generative AI in Creative Problem Solving & Innovation" is a comprehensive, hands-on course that gives students practical experience with using and implementing generative AI in a variety of settings. Participants will practice prompt engineering, apply AI models to improve innovation and creative problem solving, and tackle real-world difficulties through interactive case scenarios.
After completing the workshop, participants will be able to conduct efficient AI-assisted market and trend analyses to stay up-to-date in innovation. They will also know how to identify and uphold ethical considerations when using AI for creative purposes, and how to anticipate and prepare for developments in AI.
