Session two

Anne Marie Otanez

Chief of Staff with 15+ years of strategic leadership and change management expertise, certified in PMP, ITIL, Scrum Master and Change Practitioner. Known for leading cross-functional teams and driving operational excellence across industries.

Using AI To Think Like A Chief of Staff

Most AI sessions focus on tools. This hands-on workshop focuses on thinking like a Chief of Staff. Anne Marie shares what she actually does, then puts ChatGPT, Claude and Microsoft Copilot to work on real executive challenges — analysing information, streamlining operations and supporting better decisions. Rather than just automating tasks, you learn to use AI as a strategic partner.

The four hands-on exercises

  • Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) creation
  • Investor report analysis
  • Executive communication drafting
  • Large data set analysis
  • Prompt engineering fundamentals, applied throughout
  • Repeatable workflows that produce executive-ready output

Session three

Holly Brown

Perth-based Executive Business Partner who moved from office administration through Management Assistant and Executive Assistant roles, supporting regional directors, a managing director, a founder and now a COO at an ASX-listed company. Led a company-wide Microsoft Copilot rollout.

You Know The Business — Here’s How To Bring AI To It

Few people see how a business really runs the way an Executive Assistant does: the people, the processes and exactly where the time goes. That makes EAs the people best placed to put AI to work where it actually counts. This session is built on real use cases and the outputs to match — no theory, no hype, just the actual results landing on screen using tools you already have.

What the session covered

  • An overview of Copilot’s new UI, and getting those functions to your fingertips
  • Edit modes across Word, Excel and PowerPoint, and how to get more from them
  • Setting up instructions so formatting and house style stay consistent business-wide
  • A live look at a custom skill that turns a full inbox into ready-to-send drafts
  • Building an AI planner agent that works like a personal project manager
  • Why EAs matter in the AI era — your knowledge of the business is the edge

Session four

Jeremy Dalton

AI implementation advisor, speaker and published author. Former head of PwC’s global immersive technologies practice, where he led 150+ projects across 50 countries for Fortune 500 companies, startups and governments.

Vibe Code Your Tools: Using AI to Build Small Software for Niche Jobs

Sometimes the tool you need just doesn’t exist. The job is too specific for off-the-shelf software and too small for anyone to build a product around, so you end up doing it by hand every time. This practical, non-technical session shows how to use AI to build small, custom tools for exactly those jobs — without writing code yourself or hiring a developer.

What the session covered

  • Where a small custom tool beats off-the-shelf software
  • Real examples built live, start to finish
  • How to do it with no code and no developer
  • Which of your own repetitive tasks to try first
