“In my 30-year career in marketing and public relations, a handful of training sessions have changed my life. This is one of them. By far one of the best, most interesting, useful and on-trend training I’ve ever participated in, and I started using the techniques immediately after the session ended.”

Global environmental non-profit, The Nature Conservancy (TNC), was eager to be at the forefront of AI adoption and sought to empower their communication teams with AI skills to:

  • - Enhance productivity and alleviate busy workloads.

  • - Maintain global team alignment on AI knowledge.

  • - Alleviate employee concerns over AI adoption.

TNC needed a scalable solution to develop AI skills that allowed dispersed communications teams to maintain high productivity but reduce workload. They needed to:

  • - Provide relevant and consistent AI skills to over 200 communication professionals.

  • - Maintain engagement in a virtual learning environment by adapting content to suit various roles and regions.

  • - Reduce time spent on menial tasks, ensuring participants could apply their new skills to daily work immediately.

  • - Reduce resistance to AI adoption. Concerns over relevance and complexity required overcoming barriers to learning.

Working closely with TNC, we developed and delivered a series of half-day virtual workshops that included:

  • - Interactive peer-learning exercises and real-world case simulations for participants to practice and exchange insights on best practices.

  • - Follow-up eLearning modules designed to reinforce learning and encourage ongoing skill development.

  • - Post-training support to encourage ongoing AI adoption and innovation within their teams.

  • - Actionable frameworks and strategies for team implementation and use of AI tools in communications-related tasks.

TNC’s communications team transformed efficiency and AI adoption as a result of the program. The impact has been immense, with a fundamental shift in the way they work.

  • - Attendees better understood how AI accelerates comms tasks, including content creation, campaign measurement and persona development.

  • - Despite initial resistance, graduates are now AI advocates, leading the way in AI adoption across the company.

  • - TNC intends to expand AI training to more teams and regions.
