AI Automation for Business Leaders

STOP DOING THE SAME WORK TWICE
Learn to build an AI workflow to handle a repetitive task.
Apply a proven framework to a task in your own business.
Walk away with a step-by-step plan you can act on. No technical expertise required.
LEAVE THE WORKSHOP WITH:
1. A real automation you built in the session, so you know how to do it.
2. A process from your own work, mapped into a clear automation plan, with direct feedback on what's realistic to DIY.
3. Three tutorials for common AI workflows, ready to implement in your own time, plus an optional 30-minute call with Dianna.
HOW IT WORKS
Everyone builds the same automation together first — hands on, with support.
Then you'll map a task from your own business, scope what's achievable, and get direct feedback on what you can tackle yourself.
You leave having actually built something, not just heard what's possible.
Common automation types: pulling data between tools and generating reports, sending deadline reminders, tracking compliance obligations, researching leads.
WHO IS THIS FOR
Business owners and managers who are already using AI but want more predictable, repeatable results.
If you can draft an email with AI, you have enough experience.
ABOUT YOUR FACILITATOR
Dr Dianna Hardy is the founder of Deep Data Academy, with a PhD in Computer Science, and 20+ years in data, systems integration and automation.
Based in Townsville, Dianna works with local businesses to identify where AI can reduce workload and solve real problems.
Her workshops are hands-on by design: you'll spend more time building than listening.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Do I need technical experience? No — just basic experience using an AI assistant.
Which AI platform? Whichever you use already — Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot or Gemini.
