Business Consulting and Services

A collaborative project helping organisations apply AI, automation and low code solutions into their business right now!

About us

Future For Now is a collaborative project focused on helping organisations apply technologies such as AI, automation and low code into their workflows. We are not futurists. Whilst we do get excited by shiny things, we go beyond the hype and focus on the real world applications of technologies. This is anchored in recognising where business growth and efficiencies lie, whilst being realistic about the cost of inaction. We recognise the impact that AI will continue to have on the workforce (particularly the growing digital gender divide) and are passionate about creating pathways toward careers of the future. We do this in two ways, firstly by guiding leaders on digital transformation and organisational change. Secondly, by empowering individuals to work with tech that will enhance their job.

  • If you missed out on our Beyond ChatGPT session at the end of last month, we are running another one next week facilitated by Simone Blakers and Lee Schofield. Come along! 🗓 18th July at 5:30PM AEST 📍 Online ❓ What to expect: This online session is designed to give you a foundation on AI and large language models in a fun, highly interactive and practical way. You'll play on lots of different AI tools to help give you a peak into the current capabilities of the models, and go beyond ChatGPT. We also dive into the ethics, risk and limitations of the tools. 👩🎓 Who this is suited for: We have a focus on building AI literacy for professional women from non-tech backgrounds to counter the emerging gender divide (that said, we are inclusive and anyone is welcome). They are small(ish) groups where we encourage people to share their experience, and love to have an open discussion about AI (unlike a typical online course which are often dry and theoretical). 🗯 Some recent reviews: “This workshop has changed the way I work and think about my work. Although I was aware of how these tools might be useful, setting the time aside to be guided through a variety of options, and how they are best used was exactly what I needed to get me off the sideline and into the arena. I'm so grateful for the engaging teaching style that both presenters brought, encouraging having a play and demystifying this crazy new world we inhabit!” "Lee and Simone lead a very informative hands-on workshop. They are very knowledgable (as well as open to learning) about the topic and complement each others skills beautifully. They create a safe space (read: they don't make you feel dumb) for questions, practice, and play.” Available here: https://lnkd.in/gJ65kNDt #AIliteracy #generativeAI #education #training #upskilling #chatgpt #genderdivide

    Just a quick reminder that tomorrow we are re-running our Beyond ChatGPT workshop, followed by two Prompting Playground sessions on Thursday and Friday. We are focused on building AI literacy for professional women with non-tech backgrounds. So if you haven't had a chance to join one of our workshops yet and want to explore and play with generative AI tools in a safe and responsible way, and get a bit of an overview of the GenAI landscape, please do come a long! The IMF has identified that professional women in developed economies are some of the highest risk to AI - so we are very passionate about building AI literacy skills. We are inclusive though, so everyone is welcome if they interested to check it out :) Read more about our sessions here: https://lnkd.in/dxTa7M28 Co-facilitated by Simone Blakers, Future For Now #generativeAI #AIliteracy #training #upskilling #education

  • Back by popular demand! We are re-running the first online workshop in our AI in Action event series - Beyond ChatGPT. Here's what previous participants had to say about it... “The workshop gave me the right amount of technical information to have a basic understanding and practical tips that I can immediately embed and leverage in my day-to-day.” “Thank you for hosting an outstanding workshop on AI beyond ChatGPT. The webinar exceeded all my expectations. Super informative and educational with hands-on exercises. Both Lee & Simone are incredible presenters, knowledgeable with the ability to explain in 'layperson' terms.” “I really enjoyed this intro to AI. Like many others I have had a try of free AI tools but not enough to understand the complexities. The workshop was an eye-opener to how I can use these tools and enabled us to try out a couple of different platforms to get an understanding of the benefits / risks for each. Looking forward to doing more in this space.”
