What You Will Learn

Define what ChatGPT is and explain how it differs from traditional software and rule-based automation.
Describe ChatGPT’s core functionalities in plain language, including conversational chat, document and data analysis, image generation, and Custom GPTs.
Identify workflows and business processes in their own area that are good candidates for ChatGPT-assisted optimisation.
Weigh the benefits of ChatGPT against its limitations, risks, and governance requirements – including how these change across plan tiers.
The current model line-up (GPT-5.6 family) and what "faster" vs "more capable" modes mean in practice for everyday tasks.
Custom GPTs – building a lightweight, reusable assistant for a repeated task without needing to code.
Advanced Data Analysis – uploading spreadsheets and documents for ChatGPT to interrogate, summarise, and chart.
ChatGPT Work / connectors – linking ChatGPT to everyday tools such as Slack, Gmail, and Google Drive for agentic, multi-step tasks.
Image generation and Advanced Voice Mode, and where these genuinely save time versus where they’re a novelty.
How OpenAI’s data-training defaults differ between Free/Go/Plus/Pro and Business/Enterprise – a central plank of the risk and governance discussion
