AI-Native Foundations with AI-Native Foundations Professional certification

Stop experimenting with AI. Start improving real work.

AI-Native Foundations is a practical, in-person course for professionals who need to use AI at work safely and deliver measurable improvements.

You'll work on a real workflow from your own organisation and redesign it using AI. If you don't have a workflow in mind, we'll help you choose one that maps to your role.

In this course, you will:

  • redesign a real workflow using AI, safely and responsibly
  • estimate impact in time saved, quality, or cost
  • leave knowing exactly which workflow you'd change, how you'd change it, and what you'd try first

Delivered in Australia and New Zealand by Pretty Agile, Charter Partner for Scaled Agile AI-Native training.

What Our Clients Say

Testimonial photo
Quentin Christie Associate Director Strategic Programmes at The University of Auckland

I have attended many courses over my career but have never been to one which inspired those in the room to make a major transformational difference. I was part of AI-Native Foundations delivered by Em Campbell-Pretty and Adrienne Wilson. The course focuses not on the tools but more importantly how AI as a business imperative integrates to help business transform and grow in an exponentially changing world. I am now applying what I learned to deliver business value for the University of Auckland.

Nadia Thompson Portfolio Manager/Delivery Manager at Foodstuffs North Island

A huge thank you to Pretty Agile for running a hugely practical course — I've been dabbling with AI for a while now, but this course had really enabled me to make use of AI properly and truly see its potential. I created a chatbot, I've started creating my own workflow... and I am actively trying to use my new learning partner in most of the things I seek to do. Fantastic course, extremely well run — would recommend to anyone who wants to make the leap from 'dabbling' with AI to really embracing and using it — as an AI Native.

Dan Oramali Group Manager, Finance Business Partnering at Engenco

AI isn't something finance professionals should avoid — it's something we should learn to work alongside. Used well, AI can accelerate insights, improve efficiency, and create space for finance leaders to focus on what matters most: strategy, decision-making, risk, and value creation. The opportunity for finance is significant, but it starts with being AI-native! Thanks to Adrienne Wilson and the team at Pretty Agile.

Mark Luckey Director at Storyboard Multimedia

Just completed what is easily the most applicable AI course for people who don't code but want the impact — AI-Native Foundations by Scaled Agile. Over the past 3 years I've done about 8 different AI courses of various types and application. This one easily the best, totally recommend it — Adrienne Wilson from Pretty Agile delivers an awesome course from a brilliant background.

Jarrod Friday, Salesforce Product Owner, at RACV.

Really practical course focused on using AI in real workflows, not just theory. Lots to take straight back into day?to?day work. Big thanks to Adrienne Wilson for the great facilitation and guidance throughout the course. It was engaging from start to end.

Testimonial photo
Erin Quirke Senior Project Manager at The University of Auckland

This course wasn’t just theory — it was packed with practical tools, frameworks, and ???? moments. Whilst I do use some AI tools to optimise outputs, the real excitement is in reimagining what’s possible tomorrow — and I can’t wait to double down and keep exploring that with our team. The shift from AI as a tool to AI as a personal thought partner is simple but powerful. I’m curious and genuinely excited about how strategic planning and execution at the University could be transformed. Huge thanks to Em Campbell-Pretty and Adrienne Wilson for making the experience so engaging, energising, and full of “aha!” moments.

Why this course exists

AI is everywhere. Using it well at work is harder than it looks.

84% of Australian workers now use AI, but only 7% have reached advanced AI literacy (RMIT and Deloitte, 2026). Access to a tool and the capability to use it well are two different things, and the gap between them is where most AI efforts stall.

Between the hype, the headlines, and a flood of tools, most people and most organisations are stuck in a cycle of experimentation. People try AI here and there, but it rarely changes how work actually gets done. There's no shared language for explaining AI decisions to your manager or your team, no clear guardrails for safe and responsible use, and no practical way to decide what's worth using AI for and what isn't.

That's where most AI training falls short. It focuses on tools or concepts, not on how to redesign real work inside real organisational constraints.

Who Should Attend

If everyone around you is talking about AI and you're not sure what you're supposed to be doing with it, this course is designed for you.

You don't need to be technical. If AI is already showing up in your work — or you're being asked to make sense of it, apply it responsibly, or explain it to others — AI-Native Foundations gives you a clear way forward.

You'll get the most value if you're responsible for improving how work gets done, including people in roles such as:

  • HR and people teams shaping safe-use policies, learning, hiring, or workforce workflows
  • Finance professionals using AI for reporting, analysis, approvals, forecasting, or controls
  • Customer support and service roles redesigning service processes or response models
  • Operations, enablement, or change roles creating standards, playbooks, and guardrails
  • Product and delivery professionals integrating AI into value streams without breaking what already works
  • Managers and team leads turning AI ambition into practical outcomes

What You’ll Be Able to Do After This AI Course

After completing AI-Native Foundations, you'll be able to:

  • explain AI concepts clearly to colleagues, stakeholders, and technical teams using shared, plain-English language
  • identify where AI will genuinely add value in your role, and where it won't
  • redesign a real workflow to improve speed, quality, or consistency
  • apply practical guardrails for safe and responsible AI use, reducing brand, compliance, and reputational risk
  • make deliberate decisions about how AI is used, rather than chasing tools or trends

What you’ll actually work on

This is not a tools demo or a slide-heavy course. Across two days, you'll work on:

  • a real workflow from your own context, redesigned using the right AI approach
  • practical work on value, guardrails, success measures, and a low-risk first step — captured in a format you can take straight back to your organisation
  • practical AI scenarios covering LLMs, prompting, RAG (using AI grounded in your organisation's own documents), and agents in plain English
  • the 7 AI-Native Success Factors, applied to real work so adoption sticks

You'll spend your time applying ideas, testing assumptions, and making decisions you can carry back into your organisation.

Why train with Pretty Agile

Pretty Agile is the AI-Native Charter Partner for Australia and New Zealand, selected by Scaled Agile from over 80 applicants globally. What Pretty Agile brings to the delivery:

  • trainers who use AI daily in consulting and enterprise delivery, not trainers reading slides
  • practical fluency across ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, Gemini, and other tools, so facilitation adapts to whatever your team actually uses
  • facilitation designed to force application to your own organisation, not hypothetical scenarios
  • Australian and New Zealand enterprise context applied throughout, including risk, governance, and procurement realities
  • 94% of participants report increased confidence applying AI, across both our public and private deliveries. More to the point, they leave having redesigned a real workflow from their own role, with a plan they can act on, not just a higher opinion of AI.

We deliver the course with a focus on application, not demonstration.

Participants work with real workflows from their own organisations, using whichever AI tools are available or approved in their environment. The emphasis is on building judgement about where and how to use AI, not on learning a specific platform.

Designed by Scaled Agile. Delivered by Pretty Agile. Focused on helping organisations use AI deliberately, safely, and well.

What You’ll Learn in AI-Native Foundations

Across two hands-on days, you'll learn how to work AI-Native: using AI responsibly, designing better workflows, and turning experimentation into practical impact.

Day 1: Understand what's changing and how AI actually works

AI-Native thinking (EDGE) Understand the four forces reshaping work (Exponential, Disruptive, Generative, Emergent) and what it means to work AI-Native in real organisational contexts.

AI basics in plain English Learn how GenAI works and what it can and can't do. Covers LLMs, prompting, safe use, RAG, and intelligent agents without requiring a technical background.

Day 2: Make it stick, redesign real work, and drive momentum

The 7 AI-Native Success Factors Learn what makes adoption stick: upskilling, context, workflow integration, learning loops, value alignment, and governance.

Workflow redesign and business brief Redesign one of your own workflows using the right AI approach, then capture it in a simple, organisation-ready business brief for a low-risk pilot.

AI as your Thought Partner Learn to use AI beyond task execution. Practise three interaction modes: challenging assumptions, expanding options, and stress-testing ideas before committing to a direction.

Roadmap to AI-Native Build a practical plan to move from individual capability to team influence and organisational impact.

Tell your AI-Native story Learn how to explain your idea clearly to peers and leaders so it gains traction and moves forward.

To get the most out of AI-Native Foundations, you'll need a laptop with internet access and access to a generative AI tool — ChatGPT, Claude, Microsoft Copilot, or Gemini all work. You're welcome to use whichever tool is available or approved in your organisation.

No technical background required. If you've never used a generative AI tool before, that's fine — everything is introduced in plain English, and you'll have support throughout.

You won't be asked to share sensitive or confidential data. All exercises are designed for responsible, workplace-safe use.

Public courses are delivered in person across Australia and New Zealand by Pretty Agile's certified AI-Native Trainers. Sessions are highly interactive, combining facilitated discussion, hands-on exercises, and real-world scenarios. Catering and Wi-Fi are included at all venues.

The two-day format is deliberate. Participants come back on day two having had time to process, and consistently arrive sharper and more ready to apply what they've learned to their own work. A half-day session can build awareness. Two days builds capability.

For public courses, in-person delivery is a requirement of the curriculum and reflects how the course is designed to work. The experience depends on live collaboration, guided facilitation, and working on real problems in the room.

Public courses run on a regular schedule in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, and Auckland. Check the dates table above for upcoming sessions.

Private courses are available for organisations that want to run AI-Native Foundations for their own teams. Private delivery can be customised to your organisation's context, tools, and workflows, and is available in person or online. In-person sessions can run at your premises or a venue of your choice.

Yes. AI-Native Foundations covers different ground from tool-specific training. Tool training covers the tool — what it can do, how its features work, and how to get started. AI-Native Foundations covers capability — how to identify where AI genuinely adds value, redesign workflows around it, and apply it responsibly in an enterprise environment. Those skills transfer regardless of which tool your organisation uses.

The two are complementary. In our sessions, participants who arrive already using Copilot or other enterprise AI tools leave with a sharper sense of where those tools earn their licence fee in their actual work — and why. One participant upgraded from a free to a paid Copilot licence during the course after identifying the specific workflows that justified it.

The gap most experienced users discover is not in tool familiarity — it is in systematic application. AI-Native Foundations focuses on workflow redesign methodology: identifying where AI genuinely helps, restructuring the work around it, and building a case for the change. That process is different from day-to-day prompting.

One recent participant came in with over 20 years in data and AI. By day two, they described shifting from using AI as a task executor to using it as a thought partner — a different mode of working, not a different tool.

The format is deliberate, and it's one of the reasons the course works. Participants consistently tell us that the focused, uninterrupted time is what makes the difference. You're out of your inbox, working on real problems in the room, with time between day one and day two to let it settle. Most arrive on day two sharper and ready to apply what they've started.

BCG found that five or more hours of structured training is the threshold for regular, sustained AI use. Two days clears it comfortably; a lunch-and-learn doesn't. A half day builds awareness. Two days provides the space to build capability.

You don't leave with notes. You leave with one of your own workflows redesigned and a plan for putting it into practice.

AI-Native describes a way of working, not a tool or a job title. An AI-Native professional doesn't just reach for AI on the odd task. They decide where AI genuinely helps in their work, redesign that work around it, and apply it safely and deliberately. It's the difference between experimenting with AI and changing how the work gets done. AI-Native Foundations is the course that builds that capability.
