SUMMARY:WEBINAR - Your Self-Learning AI System
DESCRIPTION:With a new AI tool\, framework or technique announced each week\, it can be very difficult working out which tools are relevant or useful to you. In this session we learn to cut through the noise with the aid of AI.\nBuilding on the second brain session\, this webinar shows you how to turn that context into a system that filters new AI developments for you. Feed it a YouTube transcript\, an article or a colleague’s Slack message about the latest tool\, and it tells you whether it’s worth your time\, or walks you through implementing it if it is. We’ll cover how to keep the system current\, how to test new techniques safely\, and how to build reusable instructions so the things that work stick around. \n\nSet up a system that evaluates new AI tools and techniques against your specific role\, tools and tasks\nApply a process for testing and implementing new AI techniques without disrupting existing workflows\nBuild reusable instructions and prompts that capture what works so you don’t rebuild from scratch each time

SUMMARY:WEBINAR - AI Automations for Not-For-Profits: How Automations Actually Work
DESCRIPTION:Learn the simple pattern behind every automation and build your first workflow in “Make”. You’ll leave with a working automation and a framework you can apply across different tools.\nEvery automation tool looks different on the surface\, but underneath they all follow the same pattern: a trigger\, some logic and an action. This session introduces the core concepts behind automation and helps you develop a practical framework you can use across a wide range of platforms. Together we’ll set up a free Make (make.com) account\, connect services and build a simple working automation. By the end of the session you’ll have hands-on experience and a clearer understanding of what makes a process worth automating. \nKey learnings: \n\nBreak a business process into triggers\, logic and actions to assess whether it can be automated.\nCreate prompts that work reliably inside automated workflows.\nBuild and test a simple end-to-end automation using Make.

SUMMARY:WEBINAR - Creating a neuro-affirming workplace

SUMMARY:WEBINAR - Integrate AI Into Your Organisation With Strategies That Boost Efficiency\, Improve Member Experience and Reduce Manual Work
DESCRIPTION:Build the AI Foundations Your Members Will Expect Next \nMost associations are experimenting with AI in pockets — a tool here\, a workflow there — but very few have stepped back and asked the bigger question: \nWhat does it look like when AI genuinely becomes part of how our organisation works? \nThis session with Dawid Naude from Pathfindr moves beyond tools and tips and into the structural decisions that will shape the next era of association performance. You’ll explore how AI shifts from “something we use” to something that underpins your delivery\, your operations\, and your value to the industry you serve. \nWe’ll look at what organisation-wide adoption really requires – the systems\, the data\, the workflows\, the governance\, the sequencing\, and the thinking that separates early adopters from those who get left behind. You’ll also hear how these shifts translate directly to your members — and how the associations leading the way are already rewriting expectations across their industries. \nThis isn’t a technical session. It’s an organisational one — designed for leaders who want to build AI capability with intention\, clarity\, and confidence. \n📅 Date: Wednesday 16 September 2026 \n🕓 Time: 11.00am – 11.45am AEST / 1.00pm – 1.45pm NZDT \n📍 Zoom \nYou’ll walk away able to: \n\nUnderstand what true organisation-wide AI adoption looks like\nIdentify the structural changes that matter most right now\nTranslate AI capability into improved service delivery and industry impact\nPrioritise the right projects instead of chasing shiny tools\nBuild a roadmap your whole organisation can follow\nMove from experimentation to true transformation\n\nYour industry is changing — fast. This session shows you how to ensure your organisation changes with it.

SUMMARY:WEBINAR - AI Automations for Not-For-Profits: Working with an AI Coworker
DESCRIPTION:Explore the next generation of automation where AI agents work towards goals rather than following fixed steps\, and learn how to use them safely.\nTraditional automations follow a defined set of instructions\, but modern AI agents can work towards a goal and determine the steps themselves. This session explores how tools such as Claude and ChatGPT can be used as digital coworkers to perform recurring research\, drafting and summarisation tasks. You’ll learn how to design useful agent workflows\, establish practical guardrails and validate outputs before they are acted upon. The focus is on using AI agents productively while keeping risks manageable and outcomes reliable. \nKey learnings: \n\nSet up a recurring AI task that researches\, drafts or summarises information.\nApply guardrails and review processes to reduce risk when using AI agents.\nDecide when to use traditional automation versus a goal-driven AI agent.
