Ethical AI in Practice: Governance, Risks & Opportunities
To drive its vision of sustainable global trade, a prominent non-profit organisation worked with Aventis to build AI literacy across its workforce — equipping teams to harness generative AI responsibly, effectively, and with long-term impact.
Our Client: A Prominent Non-Profit Organisation
Our client is a leading international non-profit dedicated to advancing sustainable global trade through research, policy, and education. By uniting government, industry, and academia, it addresses complex trade challenges while driving innovative, future-ready solutions.
Driving the Ethical Use of Generative AI
Amid the rapid rise of generative AI and its profound impact on knowledge work, the organisation recognised the importance of staying ahead of the curve. Taking a forward-looking approach, it invested in strengthening its people’s capabilities — empowering teams with the skills, confidence, and ethical awareness to harness AI tools responsibly, effectively, and with lasting impact.
The Challenge: Unlocking AI Confidence and Capability
Interest in generative AI tools like ChatGPT and Microsoft 365 Copilot was high across the organisation — but structured knowledge and practical application were lacking. The challenge was clear: move beyond casual experimentation and turn curiosity into real capability, empowering teams to innovate faster, work smarter, and deliver greater impact. To unlock meaningful value, the organisation set out to:
- Build confidence and awareness among cross-functional, non-technical teams
- Deliver practical, relevant training that demystified AI without overwhelming learners
- Equip staff with ethical, actionable strategies for applying AI in research, writing, and policy work
Aventis in Action: Supporting Our Client’s Success
Generative AI in Action: From Policy to Productivity
Aventis partnered with the organisation to deliver a customised, high-impact workshop on Generative AI for Business Workflows — designed specifically for its global trade and policy context.
The session combined expert guidance with real-world application, featuring:
- Live demonstrations of AI tools in action
- Hands-on exercises in prompt engineering, content creation, and data summarisation
- Practical use cases showcasing productivity gains with Microsoft 365 Copilot
- Ethical AI practices to promote confident and responsible adoption
What set this workshop apart was its direct alignment to the organisation’s day-to-day workflows. Every activity was purpose-built for immediate relevance, empowering participants to apply new skills seamlessly in their roles. Beyond individual learning, the programme also strengthened cross-regional collaboration, bringing together 46 staff from Singapore and Hong Kong to share insights, strategies, and best practices.
The Results
✅ Boosted confidence and fluency in applying generative AI to everyday tasks and workflows
✅ Enhanced prompt-crafting skills for sharper research, more effective writing, and creative ideation
✅ Heightened ethical awareness to ensure responsible and thoughtful AI adoption
