Lunch, Coffee & Tea, Networking

A full-course lunch and catered breaks, with a room full of Western Sydney business leaders.

A structured day that ends with your automation plan complete

You already know AI matters. Now, it’s time for you to work out which parts of your business should change, and a reliable way to judge which processes are worth automating.

 

FutureProof Automate is that day. You map your business’s workflows, rank them by priority, and build the plan around it, with two facilitators in the room while you make the calls.

  • Presentation & Discussion

    Learn practical AI and automation techniques from both facilitators.

  • Knowledge Sharing Session

    Sit with other business leaders and exchange ideas about AI automation.

  • Hands-on Activities & Collaborations

What your business looks like after the workshop

Every activity takes you one step closer to your business goals. This is what you take back and act on.

A clearer view of where time goes

You map your own workflows during the session and record which tasks take the most time across the business.

A ranked shortlist

The Value vs Effort Matrix helps you rank which processes to automate first and which to leave unchanged.

Hands-on practice with AI tools

You'll use AI tools on real tasks from your own business during the day, with facilitators guiding you.

A plan tied to your business objectives

You look at AI through what the business is working towards, rather than through the technology.

A roadmap you can implement

Your Digital Pack sets out where the business stands, what to automate first, and the next step to take.

A free debrief after the day

Every attendee is entitled to a one-to-one debrief in the days after the workshop, to go through their own Digital Pack.

Who is this workshop for?

Owners, managing directors, and operations leaders of businesses looking to implement AI and Automation in their day-to-day operations.

This workshop is for you if
  • You already pay for AI tools, but your team is not using them properly.
  • You know AI belongs in how the business runs. You have not decided where it starts.
  • You want a written roadmap that names which processes to automate first.
  • You want to leave with prompts and workflows tailored to your business needs.
  • You want to know which processes to leave alone, so effort goes where the return is.
This is not for you if
  • You only want an introduction to what AI is.
  • You want notes to read later rather than a roadmap you built yourself.
  • You expect a finished strategy handed to you without your input.
  • You are not in a position to change how the business operates.

What our past attendees say about FutureProof

I can finally automate workflows and notifications even if a particular system doesn't provide them.
AI is useful in so many day to day tasks that I wasn't aware of, and I should really be able to take some of them on without too much strain. The risks can be managed and the AI can learn and customise to your tone and brand to keep the information personalised to your business.
I've learned that future readiness is a mindset, not a milestone. Being adaptable, proactive, and willing to evolve my business model as client expectations and technologies change. I need smarter systems, clearer processes, and measurable outcomes so that intuition and innovation can coexist with data-driven growth.
It made me realise that there is endless opportunities that can assist a business to grow using AI, it is here to stay and if not using it I will be left behind.
FutureProof gave me helpful uses of AI that can impact your day with easy implementation immediately no matter the size.
FutureProof changed my mindset. Need to ensure we max the potential of AI functions and apply to business or home.
Organisation Usage policy is a great idea. Your PPSD (people, process, systems, data) is a great framework.
FutureProof gave me a clearer picture on how AI can be used in many aspects of my business.
You don't have to reinvent the wheel, there are systems out there that can be utilised and thanks to those that shared anecdotes.
I have learned a lot about AI tools and how to use them. I believe I have just learnt surface level but I am excited to delve into it and learn more.
Solidifying that these types of educational events have genuine value in upskilling and educating our business community. Thank you Paul and Rick.
The event reinforced what I had already learned and certainly has solidified this.
