This interactive one-day session is designed to give non-technical professionals a practical understanding of Google Gemini and its real-world business potential. Participants will discover how Gemini enhances the Google Workspace tools they already use every day, explore licensing and deployment considerations, and learn where AI can deliver meaningful improvements in productivity, collaboration, and business processes.
Beyond the technology itself, the course provides a balanced perspective on the opportunities, limitations, and risks associated with AI adoption. Delegates will leave with the knowledge and confidence to identify high-value use cases within their own role, along with a clear and actionable first step for bringing Gemini into their workplace.
What if you could boost productivity without rewriting your workflow? This one-day course unlocks the power of Gemini – the AI assistant reshaping how businesses work… without the jargon. You’ll leave with a clear picture of how Gemini integrates seamlessly into Gmail, Docs, Sheets, and more… and where it can genuinely transform your processes. We’ll balance the benefits against risks, governance needs, and plan-tier differences – giving you a realistic roadmap to take back to your team. Whether you’re joining our open course, booking a closed group session, or opting for one-to-one coaching, this is your chance to grasp Gemini’s potential – and avoid its pitfalls. Six CPD hours included. To find out more, contact us at let’s dash talk at e q v dot co dot uk.

What You Will Learn
Define what Gemini is and explain how it differs from traditional software and rule-based automation.
Describe Gemini’s core functionalities in plain language, including its embedding directly inside Gmail, Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Meet.
Identify workflows and business processes in their own area that are good candidates for Gemini-assisted optimisation.
Weigh the benefits of Gemini against its limitations, risks, and governance requirements – including how these change across Workspace plan tiers.
Gemini as a bundled Workspace feature rather than a standalone product – what "included in your existing licence" actually means in practice.
In-app Gemini – drafting and summarising in Docs and Gmail, building formulas and analysing data in Sheets, generating first drafts in Slides.
Gemini Notebook (formerly NotebookLM) – grounding answers in a participant’s own uploaded source documents rather than the open web.
Gems – creating a saved, reusable custom assistant for a recurring task, Gemini’s equivalent of a lightweight custom agent.
Workspace Studio – no-code automation that chains Gemini actions into a persistent workflow (e.g. auto-generating meeting briefings or follow-up docs).
Where usage limits and the AI Expanded Access add-on come in for teams that hit caps on higher-use features.
