Frequently Asked

Questions, answered.

A full-day, hands-on AI capability-building session designed for senior executives. Participants configure five enterprise-grade AI tools, master a structured prompting framework, and apply AI directly to live business challenges — leaving with the strategic fluency and operational confidence to lead AI adoption from the front. Security governance and risk protocols are embedded throughout. This is not a seminar. It is an hands-on training.

None whatsoever. The AI Clinic is built specifically for non-technical executives. If you can use email and a laptop, you are ready.

Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, and Perplexity AI — the five tools at enterprise level collectively cover every professional workflow a senior executive performs.

Because a clinic is not a conference. 25 executives means every participant gets personal attention, every table has a functioning team, and the quality of the room stays high.

The first five registrations per edition are priced at N450,000. Early Bird closes when those five seats are taken. Standard pricing is N500,000. Register early.

The Programme

Five disciplines. One day. Permanent transformation.

01
8:30 — 11:00am

AI Command Centre Setup

The day opens with a live before-and-after: same task, no AI versus AI. Timed. Projected on screen. The gap speaks for itself.

Then you set up five AI accounts live, step by step: Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, Perplexity. Custom instructions written. Privacy configured. Mobile apps installed. By the first break, every account works for you.

Bonus: Meta AI inside WhatsApp — the AI already in your pocket that 95% of African professionals have never used for work.

02
11:15am — 1:15pm

Mastering the Art of Prompting

AI is not the limitation. The instruction is. This session teaches the CRATE Prompting Framework — AI Thursday's proprietary five-element model that turns average AI users into exceptional ones.

C = Context | R = Role | A = Action | T = Target | E = Examples

Every element is demonstrated live across five real executive scenarios. Every participant applies CRATE to a real task before leaving Session 2.

03
2:15 — 4:30pm

AI at Work: Live Productivity Clinic

The centrepiece of the day. You use AI on your own actual work. Not a simulation. Not a hypothetical. The real report on your desk. The real meeting you are preparing for. The real proposal you need to send.

Three rounds: individual work, paired coaching, and a Table Challenge where five executives produce a complete professional output under 25 minutes. The energy in this session is consistently the highest of the day.

04
4:45 — 6:45pm

AI Safety, Cybersecurity and Responsible Use

Power without governance is a liability. A cybersecurity expert leads live demonstrations of the threats executives face today: deepfake CEO fraud, AI-generated phishing, and prompt injection attacks.

You leave with a personal AI security checklist and a three-tier governance framework ready to present to your board on Monday.

05
7:00 — 8:45pm

Your Industry. Your 30-Day Plan.

A senior industry practitioner demonstrates three to five high-value AI applications specific to your professional field, live, with you following along.

Then you write your 30-day AI action plan in the room: your personal AI stack, your first-week tasks, your measurable targets, and one recommendation you will make to your organisation. Plans are shared with your table for peer accountability.

AI Thursday Consulting

AI Thursday Consulting.

We help African organisations do more than learn about AI. We help them deploy it.

What We Do

Research. Strategy. Implementation.

AI Thursday is Africa's AI research and consulting company. We work with organisations across banking, professional services, manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and the public sector to identify, design, and implement AI solutions that produce measurable gains in productivity, profitability, and competitive position.

AI Research

Annual AI Readiness Reports. Sector-specific AI adoption research. Evidence-based insights for boards and executive committees.

AI Strategy

AI readiness assessments. Tool selection and governance frameworks. Board-level AI advisory. Roadmaps built for African market realities.

AI Implementation

Bespoke AI Clinic editions for your team. Custom tool deployment. Workflow integration. Change management for AI adoption.

The AI Thursday Difference

Research-led. Practitioner-delivered. Africa-grounded.

Most consultants present AI strategy from slides built in London or San Francisco. Every AI Thursday recommendation is built from current practice in Africa's operating environment — the regulatory landscape, the talent constraints, the infrastructure realities, and the business culture that actually governs how organisations move.

We do not recommend tools we do not use. We do not propose strategies we have not tested. Every engagement draws on active research and real deployment experience.

Research-led

Every recommendation draws from current evidence specific to Africa's operating environment. Not imported from Western playbooks built for different markets.

Practitioner-delivered

The consulting team uses AI daily to run real organisations. Every recommendation comes from active deployment experience.

Africa-grounded

Strategy is built for Africa's regulatory landscape, talent market, infrastructure realities, and business culture.

Who We Work With

Organisations serious about AI.

Banks, insurers, and financial institutions building AI capability for compliance, credit, and customer experience

Law firms and in-house legal teams deploying AI for document-intensive workflows

Pharmaceutical companies applying AI to medical affairs, regulatory, and commercial functions

Manufacturing and FMCG businesses integrating AI into operations, supply chain, and marketing

Government agencies and multilateral organisations implementing AI at institutional scale

About the AI Clinic

A full-day, hands-on AI capability-building session designed for senior executives. Participants configure five enterprise-grade AI tools, master a structured prompting framework, and apply AI directly to live business challenges — leaving with the strategic fluency and operational confidence to lead AI adoption from the front. Security governance and risk protocols are embedded throughout. This is not a seminar. It is an hands-on training.

None whatsoever. The AI Clinic is built specifically for non-technical executives. If you can use email and a laptop, you are ready.

Four ways. First, it is in-person and hands-on — you produce real output on the day. Second, everything is built around the work senior executives actually do. Third, it is led by a practitioner who uses these tools daily to run real businesses. Fourth, you join a cohort of 25 peers and a professional community that continues well beyond the day.

Because a clinic is not a conference. 25 executives means every participant gets personal attention, every table has a functioning team, and the quality of the room stays high. It also means every edition sells out.

About the Content

Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, and Perplexity AI — the five tools at enterprise level collectively cover every professional workflow a senior executive performs.

Paid plans are strongly recommended for professional use. Claude Pro, ChatGPT Plus, and Perplexity Pro each cost approximately $20 per month. Microsoft Copilot requires a Microsoft 365 Business licence. You can set up free accounts in the session and upgrade later. Bring a payment card.

CRATE is AI Thursday's proprietary prompting model: Context, Role, Action, Target, Examples. It is a five-element structure that makes every AI interaction more precise, more useful, and consistently repeatable. Every participant leaves with CRATE memorised and applied.

Yes. Each edition is themed around a specific industry — HR, Banking, Legal, or Asset Management. Session 5 is delivered by a guest practitioner from that field. The core sessions apply across all industries.

Logistics

Five-star hotel conference facilities in Lagos and Abuja. The specific venue is confirmed and communicated to participants at least three weeks before each edition.

A laptop, fully charged with its charger. A personal email address for creating AI accounts. A payment card for optional paid plans. One current professional task you want AI to help you tackle in the Live Clinic.

Registration opens at 8:00am. The programme runs from 8:30am to 9:00pm. Breakfast, a networking lunch, and two coffee breaks are included. Plan for a full day.

Yes. Participants travel from across Africa for each edition. We do not arrange accommodation but are happy to recommend nearby hotels on request.

The first five registrations per edition are priced at N450,000. Early Bird closes when those five seats are taken. Standard pricing is N500,000. Register early.

Yes. A 50% deposit confirms your seat. The balance is due 14 days before the event. Full payment upfront is also accepted.

Full refund for cancellations 21 or more days before the event. 50% refund for 14 to 20 days. No refund within 13 days. Your registration is fully transferable at any time — send a colleague in your place at no extra charge.
