AI masterclass 1: introducing AI and framing your AI strategy

SCVO

Overview

Join our Artificial Intelligence (AI) masterclass to make sense of the latest opportunities in AI for your organisation. In this first session, we will cover an overview of AI, and look at what you will need to know in order to start framing your AI strategy. Both this session and AI masterclass 2 will have a focus on generative AI tools, which are rapidly reaching millions of users.

John Fitzgerald, Digital Evolution Manager at SCVO, was named UK charity #AI100 leader in October 2025. He has helped hundreds of organisations of all sizes understand the opportunities and challenges presented by AI.

Overall aim

This session will cover big-picture strategic questions, including:

  • What is Artificial Intelligence?
  • What are the key opportunities?
  • What are the risks?
  • How to connect this with your vision, values and priorities
  • Key strategic principles to follow as you explore AI opportunities

In the second session, to be held on Monday 8 December, we will dive into some practical examples to help you develop your expertise further.

Who is the event aimed at?

Any organisation looking to explore the opportunities of AI and starting to include it in their strategic plans. No prior technical knowledge is needed.
