This hands-on GenAI course provides HR practitioners with a comprehensive and practical exploration of how Generative AI can be applied across the employee lifecycle, culminating in an optimal "Talent Experience" that drives stronger business outcomes. Participants will explore the evolving HR technology landscape, master the fundamentals of prompt engineering, and gain direct experience with the latest AI-powered solutions.

Beyond tools and techniques, the course equips participants to lead the strategic dimension of HR digital transformation. Participants will examine organisational change implications, identify emerging workforce trends, and build a future-proof people function ready for an AI-augmented world.
