Turn Copilot Curiosity, Anthropic Claude Cowork, Google Gemini, Canva AI and more into workplace functional results.
The aim is skills and confidence in utilising AI within a Thrill team connection workshop.
This medium to fast-paced, facilitator-led team building program gets your leadership team genuinely comfortable using AI tools proficiently as a team.
Built around real AI challenges, not slideshows.
Most AI training tells people what to think about AI. THRILL’s AI Team Building Experience gets people using it — competitively, collaboratively, and without fear of getting it wrong. Teams leave with a repeatable habit for verifying AI output, a simple prompting framework they’ll actually use, and a concrete answer to “how will I use this next week?”
Why an AI Team Building Experience, Not Another AI Training Session
Most workplaces already have a mix of enthusiastic early adopters and quiet sceptics when it comes to AI. Traditional training tends to talk past both groups: too basic for the confident users, too abstract for everyone else.
THRILL’s approach is different. This is a team building experience first — fast-paced, competitive, and built around real business challenges — with genuine AI skill-building woven through it. It opens with fun, low-stakes play to strip away any anxiety about “getting it wrong,” then deliberately builds toward a business-relevant scenario using your own organisation’s real challenges. The tone throughout is gentle on fear and firm on opportunity.
The result: leaders and teams leave with a shared, positive first (or renewed) encounter with AI — and a genuine sense that they, not a policy document, will shape how AI gets used well across the business.
Sessions typically run for 2 hours and are fully customised in length, group size, and location to suit your team.
What the Session Covers
The 3-Check Habit: A Practical Verification Framework
AI tools can sound confident and still be wrong. Rather than warning teams about this in the abstract, we build the habit directly into the challenge. A deliberately planted factual error is placed inside a business scenario, so every participant practises catching a mistake before it reaches a client — a skill they take back to their desk, not just a talking point from a workshop.
A Simple, Repeatable Prompting Framework
Knowing how to ask an AI tool for what you actually need is a skill most people have never been taught. A dedicated Prompting Skills Lab introduces one simple, repeatable framework — Role, Task, Context, Format — and every participant tests it live on a real task from their own week. They leave with a method, not just a memory of the session.
A Real Business Scenario, Not a Generic Case Study
The core challenge is built from a genuine operational scenario relevant to your business, not an off-the-shelf example. Teams are deliberately mixed so confident daily AI users sit alongside sceptics, so use is modelled naturally, peer-to-peer, rather than taught top-down.
Straight Answers on Data Privacy and Tool Limits
Data privacy and security concerns are among the most common reasons people hold back from using AI tools at work. A short, plain-English segment covers what enterprise data protection actually means in practice for your organisation’s approved AI platform, and how it differs from public consumer tools. This can be delivered by our facilitators or handed to your own IT/Information Security team as a guest segment.
A Genuine No-Fail Environment
Facilitators open with an explicit “no-fail” permission: nobody is expected to be fluent by the end, and the first activity carries zero business content, so early mistakes cost nothing. That tone carries through the whole session, where the goal is participation and practice, not a perfect answer.
Healthy Scepticism, Put to Work
Thoughtful sceptics who question AI’s reliability are an asset, not an obstacle. Facilitators can identify likely critical thinkers in advance and give them an explicit “red team” role in the business scenario — formally responsible for fact-checking their team’s output — so scepticism becomes a valued contribution rather than a side conversation.
What Your Team Will Achieve
- Genuine, hands-on confidence and fluency with everyday AI tools like Microsoft Copilot
- A concrete, repeatable habit for checking and verifying AI-generated output
- Visible, credible internal AI champions who model everyday use for the rest of the business
- A shift in mindset from fear of "getting AI wrong" to excitement about what it frees people up to do
- Honest answers on data privacy and tool limitations, so trust is built on understanding, not just reassurance
- A transferable prompting framework that closes the single biggest AI skill gap most teams report
- At least one concrete, personal commitment each participant will act on in the week after the session
How It Works
- Whole-group briefing — a no-fail, fun opening that strips away anxiety about using AI tools in front of colleagues.
- Sub-team challenges — teams break out to tackle a mix of icebreaker and business-relevant AI challenges using Microsoft Copilot.
- Business scenario finale — teams reunite for a real, high-stakes-feeling challenge built from a genuine operational scenario, including the planted-error verification exercise.
- Structured debrief — individual commitments are captured and shared back with your organisation for follow-up.
Sessions typically run for 2 hours and are fully customised in length, group size, and location to suit your team.

Who This Is For
Designed for leadership teams and corporate groups of any size across Sydney and nationally, this experience works equally well for teams that are already enthusiastic AI users and those with a healthy mix of sceptics. It’s particularly effective where an organisation has an approved enterprise AI tool (such as Microsoft Copilot) that they want staff using more, and more safely.
