PM ConneX Kingston -Guest Lecture and Networking Event "AI Productivity at Work"

Session Abstract

Project managers rely on AI to draft plans, analyze information, and accelerate daily work, yet many lack a clear mental model of how these systems operate. This one-hour workshop explains what happens in the background when AI generates output and why quality varies. You will learn how to design prompts, validate results, and build repeatable personal workflows. The session balances practical productivity gains with a grounded understanding of AI behaviour and limits.
