Discover how to combine prompt engineering with practical automation to reclaim your time and drive smarter, AI-enabled workflows.

Join us for a focused one-day, in-person workshop designed for HR, L&D, and operational professionals who want to move beyond AI theory and into real productivity gains. This highly practical course blends the fundamentals of prompt engineering with hands-on experience in Microsoft Power Automate, equipping you with tools you can use immediately.

Led by AI implementation specialists from WorkMatters, the day covers key prompting frameworks like the RISEN model and real-world patterns such as the Question Refinement Pattern, helping you write prompts that consistently deliver useful, accurate outputs. You’ll then move into workflow automation – learning how to build no-code processes using Power Automate and integrate AI Co-Pilot into your daily operations.

This is not a passive training. It’s a working session designed to reduce time spent on repetitive tasks, improve how you interact with AI, and give you a practical starting point for building smarter systems in your role.

Who should attend?

This workshop is ideal for any professionals – especially for HR Leaders, L&D, operations, and transformation specialists – looking to:

  • Leverage AI for day-to-day efficiency
  • Design no-code automations in Power Automate – even with no technical background
  • Build stronger prompts and automation workflows
  • Kickstart internal AI adoption with minimal friction or cost

If you’re short on time but eager to start using AI meaningfully, this is your launchpad.

By the end of this course, you won’t just “know more” about AI — you’ll leave with ready-to-use tools, workflows, and confidence to start applying what you’ve learned the very next day. Here’s what you’ll take back to your desk:

Write Prompts that Actually Work – and Get Results Faster:

  • Discover the RISEN framework to structure prompts that give you clear, consistent AI output (great for policies, emails, job ads).
  • Then go beyond the RISEN framework and use advanced prompting patterns to turn vague ideas into sharp, actionable results.
  • Learn how to get a favourable AI response  in one go, instead of rewriting your prompt 10 times.

Stop Googling. Start Automating:

  • Build your first working automation in Power Automate.
  • Use Dynamic Content + Conditions to personalize flows without writing a line of code.
  • Learn how to use AI Co-Pilot inside Power Automate – even if you’ve never built an automation before.
  • Introduction to “Variables and loops”, “Conditions & nested Conditions”, “using Expressions & AI hub”.
  • Leave with live-built automations, reusable resources, practical templates, and tools you can apply immediately within your work context

What are your top three takeaways from this program, and how likely are you to recommend it to others?

Learning about AI tools, prompt engineering, and the legal and ethical challenges of AI was eye-opening. This programme was amazing – loved every minute! Thank you to all involved. I wholeheartedly recommend it.

Stephen Willis (People Projects & Operations Lead, Clúid Housing)

The insights on legal compliance, Power Automate use cases, and the practical discussions on real-life scenarios like Danielle’s talk at Amdocs were invaluable. The setting, including the Book of Kells, added a grounding and complimentary touch.

Shane Callan (Senior Manager  – HR Operations & Finance, Group HR, Irish Life)

Understanding how to implement and use AI, the importance of clean data, and the ethics around using AI were incredibly insightful. The programme provided a deep understanding of where AI can be applied effectively. I highly recommend this programme.
