Moving from curiosity about AI to using it confidently at work can feel overwhelming. Rishona, Technology Evangelist at Akkodis in Australia, helps bridge that gap by turning complex tools into practical, real-world solutions people can apply immediately in their daily roles.

Learning AI by Doing in Real Workplace Scenarios

AI becomes meaningful when people experience it in action. Through hands-on sessions and practical demonstrations, Rishona transforms AI from an abstract concept into something tangible and relevant.

Training focuses on real workplace challenges. Instead of theory-heavy sessions, participants explore use cases that reduce friction, improve productivity, and solve everyday problems. Whether managing information overload or enhancing communication, the emphasis remains on immediate, practical value.

By building confidence step by step, employees see how AI can naturally integrate into their workflow.

Small AI Tasks That Deliver Big Productivity Gains

One of Rishona’s key messages is simple: AI adoption does not need to start with large-scale transformation. Small, focused use cases often deliver the fastest and most visible results.

Generative AI can help summarise lengthy documents, organise inboxes, or draft structured emails in minutes. These quick wins demonstrate how AI tools enhance efficiency without disrupting existing processes.

A common example is post-meeting follow-up. Instead of manually compiling notes and action items, tools such as Copilot generate a structured draft instantly. Teams can review, refine, and send—saving time while maintaining quality.

The result? More energy directed toward meaningful, strategic work rather than repetitive administrative tasks.

Scaling AI From Individual Support to Team Enablement

Beyond personal productivity, Rishona supports teams in building their own AI agents. These digital assistants automate recurring tasks, answer common internal questions, and streamline administrative processes.

By embedding AI into team workflows, organisations create scalable efficiency without adding complexity. AI becomes a supportive extension of the team, rather than a disruptive force.

This approach shows how practical AI in the workplace evolves naturally—from individual experimentation to structured, team-wide adoption.

Making AI Adoption Simple and Accessible

A common misconception is that AI implementation requires deep technical expertise or major transformation programs. In reality, with the right guidance, AI adoption can be straightforward and fast.

With Akkodis’ support, organisations move from curiosity to capability quickly. The impact is often immediate: time savings, improved collaboration, and a clearer understanding of AI’s business potential.
