This course is for business professionals who are expected to use AI—without the luxury of trial and error.

You don’t need to be technical. If you’re already getting questions about AI—or feeling the pressure to “use it” without a plan—this is for you.

You’ll fit right in if you’re:

  • In HR, building safe-use policies or exploring AI for hiring, learning, or workflow automation

  • In finance, using AI for reporting, risk analysis, approvals, or forecasting

  • In customer support, looking to speed up response times or redesign service processes

  • In operations or enablement, creating playbooks, standards, and guardrails for responsible AI use

  • In product or delivery, trying to integrate AI into value streams without breaking what already works

  • A business leader, expected to turn AI ambition into measurable results

  • A team coach or change-maker, ready to move from curiosity to capability—and help others do the same

AI-Native Foundations gives you the language, frameworks, and confidence to lead responsibly with AI—no tech background required.

By the end of the course, you’ll know how to use AI to work smarter, not harder—no technical background required.

You’ll be able to:

  • Talk confidently about AI with colleagues, stakeholders, and tech teams

  • Spot high-impact opportunities to use AI in your own work—whether in HR, finance, operations, support, or delivery

  • Redesign everyday workflows to save time or improve quality

  • Use AI safely and responsibly, with clear guardrails that reduce brand, compliance, and reputational risk

  • Make smarter decisions about when and how to use AI—not just chase tools or trends

  • Create a clear AI action plan to put what you’ve learned into practice straight away

This course helps you move from guessing to doing—with practical skills you can use immediately, no matter your role.

This course is built for business professionals—not just tech teams. Across two hands-on days, you’ll learn to think and work differently with AI.

Day 1

Lesson 1: EDGE + AI-Native Thinking

  • Understand the four forces transforming modern work—Exponential, Disruptive, Generative, and Emergent—and what it means to be AI-Native.

Lesson 2: AI Basics (in plain English)

  • Learn how AI works and what it can (and can’t) do. We’ll cover large language models, prompting, safe use, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and intelligent agents—no technical background required.

Day 2

Lesson 3: The 7 AI-Native Success Factors

  • Discover what makes AI adoption stick—from upskilling and workflow redesign to safety, governance, and alignment.

Lesson 4: Workflow Redesign + Business Brief

  • Redesign one of your own workflows to deliver real value using AI. You’ll build a business case and learn how to talk about impact. E.g. mapping how AI could improve onboarding in HR, month-end reporting in Finance, or support ticket triage.

Lesson 5: Roadmap to AI-Native

  • Build an action plan to move from individual skill to team influence and organisational impact.

Lesson 6: Tell Your AI-Native Story

  • Learn how to pitch your idea to peers, managers, or execs with confidence—and turn insight into momentum.

You’ll walk away with a shared AI vocabulary, a redesigned workflow, a personal roadmap—and the confidence to use AI responsibly and effectively in your role.

To get the most out of AI-Native Foundations, you’ll need access to a generative AI tool—like ChatGPT, Claude, CoPilot, or Gemini. This is a hands-on course, so you’ll be experimenting with AI in real time.

We recommend:

  • A paid ChatGPT account (for best results), but you’re welcome to use your preferred platform

  • A mindset of curiosity and experimentation—no technical background required

You’ll also receive access to a companion app and workbook to guide your in-class activities.

Never used GenAI before? No problem.

We’ll walk you through it in plain English—no coding, no setup, no stress.

Thank you Emma Sharrock & Claire Sanders for such an informative and interactive online training session.

Matthias Prilipp Product Manager - New Technologies, Porsche Cars Australia Pty.Ltd.

The Agile Product Management certification has been a great introduction to the Scaled Agile Framework. Em and Adrienne cover all important areas of modern agile product management and have given me the tools to apply the principles of the framework to my day-to-day business. I did enjoy the online format as it gave me more flexibility and allowed us to discuss the framework in an international context with participants from overseas. The team from Pretty Agile made this a seamless experience and I’m looking forward to my next course.

Tiffany Apatu Director/AVP of Product Design at PCCW GLOBAL Limited

Em and Adrienne always provide an engaging session! I appreciate their real-world perspective and ability to connect course content to their own experience. This was my first online training course and the pace, timing, combination of consuming and participating was great. Their approach to logistics was top-notch anticipating and mitigating the potential issues that come with learning in a remote environment.

Ashley Moors Business Analyst, AusNet Services

Tanesh Naidoo Scrum Master, Chevron

Privileged and humbled to have been coached by such consummate professionals. Em Campbell-Pretty and Adrienne Wilson are wiser beyond their years, particularly with being able to expertly navigate us through the virtual training. Their best-selling books are a treasure trove of useful wisdom gathered over their many years of experience in this domain. If you're thinking about doing the course, then don't hesitate and book it in. It's everything you need and more!

Deran Hewavitharane Senior Business Analyst | Product Owner, HUB24

Em and Claire had really good practical insights for concepts discussed on the SAFe model that we could take away to try out in our environment as Product owners. They also had the skills, knowledge and the right tools to be conducting the SAFe POPM class on a remote basis, given the prevailing lockdowns in Melbourne. Several group activities were conducted throughout the two days that kept the us really engaged with the rest of the attendees while being able to learn from their experiences.

JP Kearney Senior Scrum Master, USAA

So this probably goes without saying, but if you are on the fence about this class take it! Em Campbell-Pretty & Adrienne Wilson were fantastic. And I feel like they have this remote learning model mastered!

Patrycja Althajm Agile Project Manager | Change Consultant & Agile Coach, diconium, Germany

It's a great experience remote, and across time zones - exam prep next :D Thx to Em Campbell-Pretty and Adrienne Wilson!

Susmitha Vemprala Integration Planning & Agile Process Coach, Waste Management (Texas)

Em and Adrienne - When i signed up for this mid-night class, I wasn't sure about how much I would actually learn. But you both made the learning very easy by sharing your experiences and helping relate the "book" knowledge to real-life. Thank you!! I thoroughly enjoyed the classes and would absolutely recommend it to all my friends.

Guy Edgar Senior Consultant at State of Matter

Thanks Em and Adrienne - really enjoyed the course and considering how tricky remote learning can be you kept us engaged and motivated all the way through!

Darryl Wright Domain Coach Chapter Lead at ANZ Banking Group

Thanks Em Campbell-Pretty & Adrienne Wilson, was a great course, lots of laughs, good remote learning experience. As always, appreciate your skills, experience & expertise and especially your facilitation style & sense of humour :)

Marzia Giardina Release Lead, ANZ Banking Group

Thank you, Em Campbell-Pretty. Lovely meeting and learning from both you and Adrienne Wilson. The way you designed and prepared for the online version of this course was also outstanding!

Jeffrey Davidson Founder, Leading Great Teams, LLC

With experience in agile, scrum, SAFe, and training I didn't want to take any class. I wanted to take training from someone who understands how to share information, engage the (virtual) classroom, and use their experience to get beyond the wordy slides and talk about real-world implementations. And the person I wanted training from more than anyone else is Em Campbell-Pretty. She and Adrienne did a marvellous job and kept me engaged despite the 9-hour time difference. Yes, my class started at 5:30PM local and ran until 2:30AM. And it was worth it!

Judith van der Linden Agile Program Change Manager, Chevron

I thoroughly enjoyed your ‘Implementing SAFe’ class in July. I have to admit, I was a bit worried about what the virtual experience would be like but you have it down to an art (pun intended). The four days flew by, thanks to the mix of engaging facilitators, well timed breaks and seamless technology. I hope virtual options remain a permanent offering for training providers as it opens up more opportunities, especially if for those not based on the East Coast. Keep up the great work

Len Walter Chief Technology Officer/CTO/CIO from startup to ASX300

Really enjoyed the Implementing SAFe course from the guys at Pretty Agile. If anyone's hesitant to invest in training while it's all happening over Zoom, I say - don't! With the right approach and tools, the four days flew by. Kudos to Em Campbell-Pretty and Adrienne Wilson, and the guys in the US who did 5pm-2am every day! SAFe 5 has gone beyond large-scale product development into the mindset and culture to increase whole-of-business agility. I wonder if we're seeing the early results of that in the rapid business transformation in response to COVID at telcos and banks, frequent adopters of SAFe. Exciting times! #agile #safe5 #businessagility #businesstransformation
