Speakers
Briefings shape policy, but they often get written under pressure and read at speed. When the message is buried, leaders spend their time finding important information instead of making a decision.
AI can help you move from raw inputs to actionable briefings faster. Used well, it helps you identify what matters most, compare options and risks and give decision-makers what they need to act with less back and forth.
In this session, we’ll show you how to use AI to shape an initial draft into a briefing that is easy for leaders to scan and act on. The event will leave you with a repeatable approach for writing briefs that support quicker, better-informed decisions.
The AI Skills Lab is a monthly series of virtual, 30-minute events, brought to you as part of the Government AI Campus. Think of them as your shortcut to working smarter, one task at a time, with tips and hacks from public servants already using AI regularly to augment their work.
Who should join:
Public servants who write briefing notes, memos, submissions or decision documents.
