Put AI to Work: Build Your AI Competitive Advantage

Co-hosted by JR Academy, ANZ and Bupa. This event focuses on AI-native businesses, organisational practices and workflow design. It is designed for professionals and small and medium-sized business owners who want to explore the journey from personal productivity to enterprise AI work systems. 📅 **Thursday, 1 October 2026** 🕔 **5:00 PM–8:30 PM Melbourne local time** 📍 **Venue: To be announced** ## 🌏 MELBOURNE · AI & BUSINESS ### You Have an AI Assistant. The Next Step Is to Have an AI Work System. You may already be using AI to write emails, summarise information and generate content. However, customer follow-ups, task progress and delivery checks may still require you to monitor everything yourself. With more and more tools available, your work may still not be truly connected. This event starts with a more practical question: **How can AI take on specific responsibilities and turn professional expertise and business processes into a continuously operating work system?** 🍕 Pizza will be provided, with time for Q&A and networking. ## 🎤 LIGHTMAN · FEATURED PRESENTATION ### ⚙️ How to Build an Efficient AI Operating System **Speaker: Lightman · Founder of JR Academy** From one person to a team and then to an entire company, how can AI evolve from a collection of separate tools into a work system that actively participates in the business? Lightman will explain how management and coordination functions can be integrated into a system, and how customer enquiries, sales follow-ups and operational tasks can be connected into executable workflows. * **Redesigning management functions:** Delegate task assignment, information summarisation and progress tracking to the system. * **Building business workflows:** Connect business knowledge, AI and tools to create practical workflows. * **Defining the division of responsibilities between people and AI:** Determine which steps can be automated and which must be confirmed by people. ## 01 / 🏢 What Will a Business Look Like When AI Joins the Workforce? A task often involves assigning work, passing on information, tracking progress and preparing reports before it is completed. If AI can take on these coordination functions, how many layers of management will a business still need? How can leaders gain direct visibility into business progress? How much delivery capacity can a small team achieve? JR Academy is exploring how AI work systems can restructure these management functions and reduce reliance on middle management. ## 02 / 🔧 Give an Entire Business Process to AI for Collaborative Execution After a customer sends an enquiry, can AI organise the requirements, draft a response, update business records and create the next follow-up task? ### How an AI Workflow Operates **Request received → Understand and break down → Execute through tools → Human review → Update the system → Follow-up result** We will explain: * What business knowledge AI needs * How AI connects with business tools * Which actions must be approved by people * How to handle errors and exceptions ## 03 / 🚀 How Can AI Amplify Your Professional Expertise? For professionals, the focus is on turning experience into reusable processes, improving service quality and increasing delivery efficiency. For business owners, the focus is on reducing dependence on personal time for customer follow-ups, operational tasks and team collaboration. You are welcome to bring your real questions: * Which task repeatedly takes up your time? * Where does your team often get stuck? * What responsibility would you like AI to take on first? ### 👥 Featured Speakers **Lightman** Sharing JR Academy’s current practices in AI work systems and organisational design. **Guest speaker from ANZ** Name, role and presentation topic to be announced. **Former Deloitte professional** Name, current role and presentation topic to be announced. **Guest speaker from Bupa** Name, role and presentation topic to be announced. ## 💼 Who Is This Event Suitable For? * **Experienced professionals:** People who want to combine their expertise with AI and reduce repetitive administrative work. * **Small and medium-sized business owners:** People who want to improve sales follow-ups, operations and team collaboration. * **Entrepreneurs and team leaders:** People who are designing business processes and defining the responsibilities of people and AI. No programming background is required. The focus is on business scenarios, workflows and organisational design. ## 🧠 What Can You Start With After the Event? * Identify one task that should be prioritised for AI. * Define its input, execution, review and outcome. * Determine which responsibilities can be delegated to AI and which must remain with people. * Evaluate your first workflow based on time, quality and maintenance costs. 🍕 Pizza will be provided, with plenty of time to connect with speakers, professionals and business owners. ## 📸 Previous Events From presentations on stage to conversations after the event, experience the atmosphere of our previous events. The photos are from previous events. The food, gifts and recruitment information shown in the photos do not represent the arrangements for this event. Pizza will be provided at this event. ## ⚠️ Entry Registration Requirements The Bupa venue requires advance registration. All participants must complete both event registration and venue entry registration before attending. * **Date:** Thursday, 1 October 2026 * **Time:** 5:00 PM–8:30 PM Melbourne local time * **Venue:** Bupa Melbourne venue * **Food:** Pizza will be provided The exact address, entry instructions, ticket information, registration deadline and Bupa registration process will be announced later. 🎟️ **Free event · Limited to 100 attendees**
