What we actually do
We work as a small teaching pair, not as a stage act. One of us leads the room; the other sits with people at their screens, unblocking the moment a prompt fails or a spreadsheet export refuses to cooperate. That ratio is how adult learners stay in the work instead of watching a demonstration they will not repeat on Monday.
Every session is built around tasks the participants brought that week: a customer reply that keeps going out with the wrong tone, a monthly commentary that eats two afternoons, a policy question that should be answerable from the handbook. We do not invent sample files to make the tools look tidy. If a task is a poor fit for a general assistant, we say so in the room and put it on the “do not automate” list.
When the programme ends we document what worked — the instruction patterns, the review checks, the places where a human still has to decide. The point is that your team can run the same routine the following month without booking us again. We are a training collective, not a retained operations desk, and the handover is written with that in mind.
