During the session
Opening (5 mins)

- Set expectation: "This is practical—what you can do tomorrow, not theory"
Making it real: org‑specific examples
Replace generic examples with your own:
| Section | Generic | Org‑specific replacement | |---|---|---| | What AI is good at | Drafting emails | "Drafting our weekly client status updates" | | Hallucination risk | Wrong troubleshooting | [Actual support ticket example, anonymized] | | Data rules | No PII | "Don't paste client phone numbers into ChatGPT" | | HITL | Review before send | "All Zendesk drafts need supervisor approval" |
Slide‑by‑slide tips
| Slide | Key point | Facilitator tip | |---|---|---| | 3 (Failure modes) | Show real consequences | Mention actual fines or news stories from your industry | | 6 (Non‑negotiables) | This is policy | Pause; ask: "Any questions about these?" | | 7 (Approved/Conditional/Prohibited) | Use the 1‑pager | Pass out the 1‑pager; have them highlight their role's uses | | 8 (Matrix) | Three levers: D, O, C | Use a real use‑case; walk through classification together | | 9–10 (Data rules) | Be specific | Show examples of what IS allowed vs NOT allowed in your org | | 11 (HITL) | What review means | Clarify: checking facts, tone, no PII—not just grammar | | 13 (Reporting) | Channel + 24h | Show the actual channel; practice reporting a near‑miss | | 14 (Mini exercise) | Make it interactive | Call for votes: Approved? Conditional? Prohibited? | | 15 (Quiz) | Check understanding | Review answers immediately; clarify wrong ones |
Exercise (Slide 14) — facilitator script
Scenario A: "Draft a customer email using ticket text containing phone number"
- Ask: "What data class?" (D3 Restricted)
- Ask: "What exposure?" (O1 External drafted)
- Ask: "Approved, Conditional, or Prohibited?" (Prohibited in unapproved tool)
- Debrief: "If the tool is approved with DLP + human review → Conditional"
Scenario B: "Summarize internal meeting notes"
- Ask: "What data class?" (D1 Internal)
- Ask: "Approved, Conditional, or Prohibited?" (Approved with approved tool)
- Debrief: "Verify key facts; avoid restricted data"
After the session

Within 48 hours
- [ ] Score quizzes; identify knowledge gaps
- [ ] Update training materials if questions were consistently missed
- [ ] Add completion records to training evidence folder

- [ ] Quarterly: refresh examples with recent incidents/near‑misses
- [ ] Annually: full content review + refresh
Handling difficult questions
| Question | Response | |---|---| | "Can I use ChatGPT for work?" | "Only if it's on the approved tools list. Check with IT if unsure." | | "What if I already pasted something I shouldn't?" | "Report it as a near‑miss within 24h. We need to assess, not punish." | | "The AI is faster than human review." | "Speed doesn't override safety. Conditional uses require review by policy." | | "Other companies automate this." | "Our risk tolerance is documented. Exceptions require EDR approval." | | "How do I know what's Restricted?" | "Refer to the data classification guide. When in doubt, treat as Restricted." |
