A masterclass on strategy, leadership, & AI agents.
Artificial intelligence is transforming the world at an unprecedented pace. How can your organisation harness AI to drive impact, innovation, and efficiency?
This masterclass will equip you with the knowledge and the practical tools to effectively integrate AI into your organisation. The focus of day one will be on foundations and strategy. This first session will focus on where to start and what to prioritise, exploring the current state of AI and its rapid advancements; identifying opportunities and challenges; and selecting pilot projects and the right tools for real-world impact. You’ll be introduced to two tracks – leadership and AI agents – and choose the one that best aligns with your role and your goals. You’ll leave the first session with a design challenge to apply your learning and prepare for the next day.
On day two, you will join one of two groups to go deeper into your chosen focus area:
Track 1: AI Leadership – Navigating Change & Driving Innovation
Designed for fundraisers and nonprofit leaders who want to future-proof their organistions, this session will equip you with the frameworks, strategies, and mindsets to confidently lead your teams through AI-driven transformation. This track is about taking action; about leading change, not just preparing for it. We will cover:
- AI’s impact on the nonprofit sector and how to position your organisation ahead of the curve.
- Practical frameworks for building an AI-ready culture and assessing risks versus opportunities.
- How to stay mission-driven while leading your team through rapid technological change.
- A human-centered methodology for AI adoption and change management.
Track 2: AI Agents – Designing your AI Workforce
Designed for those who want to build and implement AI-driven tools immediately, this session is a hands-on sprint in which you will design and build your first AI agent. Imagine stepping into your office and finding donor reports generated, grant proposals drafted, and campaign strategies outlined – your agent will be tailored to your organisation’s specific needs. Whether you’re a small team looking to scale or a large organisation aiming to innovate, this track will give you the tools to start integrating AI immediately. You’ll learn how to:
- Identify tasks and workflows that AI can enhance or automate.
- Design and deploy AI-powered team members – from research assistants to content creators.
- Create seamless human-AI collaboration models that enhance, rather than replace, human expertise.
- Leave with an actionable roadmap and a ready-to-use AI agent for immediate implementation.
