Effective Use of Generative AI for Senior Executives and Managers
ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and Gemini Notebook, each put to work on a management task. Every session ends with something you keep: a value map, a difficult reply, a board paper, a notebook, a checklist and a roadmap.

No technical background needed
The one rule behind everything: the AI may draft, summarise, structure and rehearse. It may never decide what is true, what is confidential, or what goes out under your signature. If you sign it, you own it.

Objectives
The Key Objectives:
\n
Find the value
Identify where generative AI adds real value in your division.
Question the data
Interrogate reports and data to support a decision.
Produce papers
Produce executive briefs, board papers and management presentations.
Build a knowledge base
Build a shared divisional knowledge base using Gemini Notebook.
Set the rules
Set governance, privacy and accountability rules for AI use in your team.
Plan adoption
Draft an AI adoption roadmap for your own division.
Before you start
Where is AI already in your unit?
- 1Who on your team already uses AI tools, with or without telling you?
- 2Which work eats most of your week: reports, correspondence, meetings or data?
- 3What has gone wrong, or nearly gone wrong, with something an AI produced?
- 4What would you never hand to an AI?
Discuss at your table for five minutes. Be ready to share one answer with the room. Keep the last answer: most of those items will reappear in the governance section.
The line-up
Four tools, four jobs today
Most of today's tasks work in any of the chat assistants. The pairing shows each tool where it is strongest. Features and terms change often.
| Tool | We use it for | Why this tool |
|---|---|---|
| ChatGPT (OpenAI) | Briefing an AI, everyday drafting, questions of data | The all-rounder most staff already know |
| Gemini (Google) | Replies, research and reusable assistants | Sits beside Gmail, Docs and Drive |
| Claude (Anthropic) | Long reports, stress-testing and board papers | Handles long documents and careful writing well |
| Gemini Notebook (Google) | A divisional knowledge base | Answers only from your documents, with citations |
The six sections
Work through them in order. Each builds on the habits of the one before.
Module 1
ChatGPT: Briefing an AI and Asking Questions of Data
Briefing an AI the way you brief an officer, questioning a spreadsheet, and mapping where AI is worth using.
Module 2
Gemini: Replies, Research and Reusable Assistants
Sensitive replies in two tones, Deep Research you can check, and a Gem that holds your house style.
Module 3
Claude: Long Reports, Hard Questions and Board Papers
Interrogating a 40-page report, stress-testing a proposal, and drafting a board paper you can defend.
Module 4
Gemini Notebook: A Knowledge Base for Your Division
A notebook that answers only from your own documents, with a citation behind every claim.
Module 5
Governance, Risk and Accountability
PDPA duties, what may and may not go into an AI tool, and a divisional AI use checklist.
Wrap-up
Your 90-Day Adoption Roadmap
Turn the day into a plan: people, skills and early wins over the next three months.
