Who Should Attend

Professionals and executives who are interested in harnessing the power of ChatGPT to improve and become more productive in their workplace writing tasks.


PREREQUISITES

Participants must have working proficiency in English.

Overview

Learn how you can harness the power of generative AI for faster and better business writing.

In this course, participants will learn to use generative AI, specifically ChatGPT, as a personal assistant for written communication in the corporate world.

We will learn how to effectively instruct ChatGPT, use it to generate ideas, produce initial drafts, finesse your language, and to enhance the clarity and flow of writing products. We will also try discuss how to perform post-editing on ChatGPT generated writing to add the voice, tone, and touch that aligns with your brand or professional values.

We learn best by experience; so this course is built to be highly interactive. Through class discussions and hands-on activities, we will practice generating and editing common business writing tasks like emails, proposals, presentations, and minutes using the principles learned.

Using ChatGPT in everyday business writing can enhance efficiency, consistency, quality, and even creativity. Enrol today to embrace the future of business writing.

  • Know how to navigate the features and settings of ChatGPT; be able to use ChatGPT to generate targeted writing products
  • Learn techniques and strategies for using ChatGPT as a writing partner to improve productivity and to write correctly and effortlessly
