This hands-on workshop equips food safety directors, quality assurance (QA) managers, auditors, regulators, researchers, plant managers, and supply chain specialists to augment their creativity with AI tools (like ChatGPT/Claude).

This 6-hour workshop will use prompts and step-by-step instructions to:

  • Solve real scenarios (outbreaks, HACCP plans, recalls)
  • Learn to break creative blocks using AI
  • Shift from reactive to predictive safety
  • Address AI ethics/reliability concerns

Key Takeaways:

  1. Accelerate human creativity, don't replace it.
  2. Predict risks more efficiently with large dataset parsing.
  3. Implement immediate solutions with no-code tools.
]]> THE CHALLENGE

The one constant across the global food safety landscape is that it is ever-changing. New pathogens emerge, the supply chains gains complexity, and regulatory and environmental systems continue to influence and affect consumer perception, health, and safety.

Traditional approaches are quickly becoming dwarved by volumes of data, the speed of emerging threats, and a pressing need for innovative solutions to unprecedented problems. We need to augment human creativity with powerful new tools to think differently and act faster.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) isn't here to replace food safety professionals because it can't. AI isn't creative. It has no feelings or experiences. It only has data; events and measurements that happened in the past and that it averages to make a best guess. But data is where it excels and where humans don't.

By contrast, what is it distinctly human is our ability to think critically and creatively - synthesizing notions and concepts that are seemingly disparate, and to come up with solutions so novel that a machine could never imagine.

Therefore, we collectively need to move theoretical discussions of "AI good/AI bad" to provide a hands-on, practical experience demonstrating how these readily available tools can accelerate our creative processes and meet impending food safety challenges.

LAB AGENDA

Attendees get an accelerated introduction to the foundations of creative problem solving. Using popular tools like Gemini and ChatGPT, they learn what stages of the creative process energize them, and which drain, and how to use AI to minimize those that sap them of enthusiasm.

Participants work on realistic food safety scenarios, individually and in small groups. The groups will share insights, surprises, and potential applications through facilitated post-discussions.

In this way, we move beyond debates over hype and get practical, hands-on experience with AI tools relevant to their job roles and daily challenges.

This workshop is ideal for food safety directors, quality assurance (QA) managers, auditors, regulators, researchers, plant managers, and supply chain specialists, and gives them the opportunity to address lingering or unspoken concerns. There are questions they've been too afraid to ask or too confused about how to properly research it, such as "Will AI replace me," "Is it too complex for me," and "How reliable is the data?"

Finally, there will be resources that include a curated list of accessible AI tools, prompt engineering tips for food safety applications, and key considerations for implementation.

Attendees will gain confidence and practical skills to make AI a collaborative, creative partner, and improve their ability to protect consumers and advance the integrity of the global food supply chain.

This Course Offers A Systematic Method That Turns Any Learning Objective Into A Compelling Story Your Audience Will Actually Remember.

Are you tired of watching learners' eyes glaze over during your training sessions? If you're a learning designer, corporate trainer, or educator who's struggled to make your content stick, you know that storytelling is a powerful, underrated learning tool. But when you sit down to design a story, do you often get stuck on what to work on? Do you get overwhelmed by possibilities and think your way into creative paralysis? Are you struggling to engage your audience and get them to care? If you want a design process that writes stories that are emotionally engaging, relevant to your training, and actually stick with your audience so that they take action, we have a solution!. Research shows that people forget 90% of what they learn within a week unless it's presented in a memorable way. The problem isn't your expertise – it's your development process.

What If You Could Make Every Training Session As Engaging As A Netflix Series?

Introducing Storytelling for Learning Designers – the only systematic framework that transforms dry, forgettable training content into powerful narratives that drive real behavior change. This isn't about adding random anecdotes to your presentations. This is about architecting stories that prove your learning objectives through emotional engagement.

"The Core Premise" - A Revolutionary Method

At the heart of this course is the Core Premise – a time-tested framework that follows this simple structure: MORAL TRAIT → CONFLICT → CONCLUSION Every great story that teaches follows this pattern, from ancient fables to modern corporate case studies. Now you'll master it in just a few hours.

Problems This Course Solves:

  • Boring presentations - Your systematic approach transforms dry training content into engaging narratives
  • Lack of engagement - The Core Premise methodology ensures emotional connection with learners
  • Information overload - Your framework helps simplify complex concepts through story metaphors
  • Inconsistent messaging - The structured approach ensures coherent, focused storytelling
  • Poor storytelling structure - Your clear plot development process (Normal World → Inciting Event → Tipping Point → Test → Conclusion) provides solid structure
  • Audience mismatch - The workbook emphasizes understanding learner motivations and needs
  • Time constraints - Your systematic framework allows for efficient story creation

Pero a menudo, no se sienten equipados para "involucrarse", a pesar de que tienen el mayor poder para marcar la diferencia. A través de años de investigación de las mejores instituciones y mejores prácticas, hemos encontrado una manera de aliviar estos temores y capacitar a los estudiantes para encontrar una estrategia de intervención que funcione para ellos.

Este curso está diseñado con tres elementos esenciales de aprendizaje:

  • una porción de película narrativa de calidad HBO que atrae a los alumnos y gana su aceptación emocional;
  • un facilitador filmado o una porción didáctica que ilustra cómo desarrollar y utilizar las técnicas de intervención correctamente, y;
  • actividades experimentales para que los miembros de la audiencia se apropien de su propia estrategia de intervención.

La investigación utilizada para crear este curso revolucionario ayuda a mejorar la empatía y reduce los casos de acoso, intimidación, riesgos de seguridad y otros problemas sociales en el lugar de trabajo.

Este curso es ideal para empleados que no pueden asistir a un taller en vivo y facilitado, pero que necesitan una capacitación atractiva y atractiva.

Este curso incluye varios beneficios únicos:

  • los asistentes participan en debates activos durante los descansos;
  • los empleados abordarán comportamientos inapropiados o cuestionables en el sitio, en lugar de informar a Recursos Humanos;
  • los alumnos aplican el pensamiento crítico para eliminar la ambigüedad en situaciones sociales complejas;
  • su equipo estará preparado para desactivar situaciones potencialmente hostiles o amenazantes;
  • los estudiantes desarrollan su propia estrategia de intervención personalizada que es natural y efectiva.

Incluye un folleto de ejercicios digital e imprimible para seguir durante el entrenamiento. También actúa como referencia después de la finalización del curso.

Este curso para dispositivos móviles está disponible a través de nuestro LMS o puede integrar fácilmente el aprendizaje en su propio.
