When workloads are high, thorough project planning is often the first thing to slip. This practical session explores how to use AI as a thinking partner helping you plan faster, think more clearly, and make better decisions without handing over responsibility.
You'll discover how AI can help structure ideas, surface risks, challenge assumptions, and sharpen your planning process from the outset. The focus is on using AI to enhance your judgement and efficiency, not replace it.
By the end of this session, you will be able to:
Use AI to structure project plans more quickly and effectively
Generate ideas, risks, and considerations to strengthen early planning
Challenge assumptions and stress-test plans using targeted prompts
Apply AI responsibly while maintaining accountability and oversight
This course is delivered by SEEDL, an online learning platform that is free to access for anyone who works for a Better Bankside member organisation. Find out more about SEEDLand sign up for this course and others.

Get involved with Bankside Futures this summer by volunteering for this fun speed-networking event.
This fast-paced volunteer activity is an opportunity to help local young people practice their networking skills and build their confidence to talk to new people. Networking is a vital part of everyone’s career, but many of us still find it daunting. So this event is also a chance to practice your own networking skills and get to know volunteers from other Bankside businesses.
Ahead of the event, the Bankside Futures team will share an overview of the types of questions to expect from the young people, focusing on your current role and career pathway, along with some tips on handling difficult or personal questions.
There will also be a full briefing at the start of the event, and a chance to practice networking with the other volunteers before the young people arrive. It's a great opportunity for anyone who wants to build their confidence to network, making it an ideal volunteering opportunity for young professionals in particular.
Participation in this event is limited to individuals who work for Bankside businesses.
Get involved with Bankside Futures this summer by volunteering at this mock interview activity.
Working in pairs, volunteers will conduct short interviews to help young people participating in Bankside Futures this summer gain valuable experience by answering questions about themselves and their achievements.
In addition to a briefing at the start of the activity, you will be provided with an interview guide to help you prepare and conduct the interviews, including a set of interview questions and feedback forms.
At the end of the activity, your feedback will be gathered and discussed with the Bankside Futures team, so that recommendations can be shared with the young people to help them prepare for real-life interviews in the future.
As well as in-person interviews, we also need one or two "remote volunteers" who can host online interviews, given how commonplace these are now. The Bankside Futures team will set up the online interview, so you will just need to log on from your device, whether you are in the office or working remotely.
You don't need to be an HR professional to sign up for this activity, as it's a great way to develop your skills and confidence as an interviewer.
If you are interested in other ways to support young people get ready for work, please get in touch with Rachel Nicholson.
Participation in this event is limited to individuals who work for Bankside businesses.

[post_content] => Join the Positive Planet team, for an informative and interactive Carbon Literacy Certified training course, a qualification recognised by the United Nations. Carbon Literacy training provides organisations with an awareness of the climate-related costs and impacts of their activities and the ability and motivation to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The training is open to any Better Bankside member with the cost covered by Better Bankside.
Is this course right for me?
This course is aimed at SMEs, their employees and anyone looking to increase their awareness of carbon dioxide costs, impacts, and most importantly how to reduce emissions. The course would be especially useful for those people who have a responsibility for sustainability and carbon reduction within their role.
The course will enable you to empower your team to take climate action. The course will also give you the knowledge, skills and confidence to act to reduce your carbon emissions to support your company’s and the UKs Net Zero target.
Where?
We are delighted that this training will be kindly hosted by TP Bennett at One America Street, London SE1 0NE.
What’s on offer?
Carbon Literate individuals understand how climate change will affect them, both geographically and locally. Individuals who receive Carbon Literacy training typically realise carbon savings of 5-15%.
The aims of the course are:
To gain an understanding of the different greenhouse gases, where they come from and the impact they are having on our climate.
To acquire a sense of urgency about the climate emergency.
To know how you can reduce your carbon footprint.
To understand your role in your company’s Carbon Reduction Plan and journey to Net Zero.
To empower you to take action and influence others.
The benefits for your business:
Encourages new ideas and efficiencies within the organisation.
Explains the rationale for change and action.
Allows you to build a network of like-minded businesses that can result in future partnerships and collaborations.
Enhanced reputation and profile of organisation.
Improved competitiveness.
This course is the equivalent of 8 hours of CPD training and requires attendees to carry out tasks prior to attending the in-person course. During the course, attendees will need to complete a personal and corporate pledge, which will be submitted to the Carbon Literacy Project for assessment and certification.
More information on how to make your organisation Carbon Literate can be found here.
Refreshments
Tea, coffee and water will be available throughout the day with a light breakfast on arrival and a veggie lunch provided.
Questions?

[post_content] => Join this lunchtime seminar with Winckworth Sherwood to build your understanding of the different types of Power of Attorney, when you might need them and how they can be used. As well as thinking about managing your own affairs, this event is also ideal for anyone with caring responsibilities, or those starting to help ageing parents, or other family and friends manage their finances and plan for their future needs.
Delivered by Tim Snaith, Partner and Head of Department and Philip Sillars, Solicitor, from Winckworth Sherwood’s Private Wealth, Trusts and Tax department, this lunch and learn will cover the scenarios when a Lasting Power of Attorney may be needed, how to register it and practical tips on how to deal with putting it into use. Tim and Philip will also touch on the old “Enduring Powers of Attorney” regime, and court appointed deputies for those who have lost mental capacity without putting a power of attorney in place.
This event is being kindly hosted at Winckworth Sherwood’s offices in the Arbor Building on Blackfriars Road. A light lunch will be provided. It is also an opportunity to find out more about the Bankside Carers' Network and connect with other people who are managing their caring responsibilities alongside working in Bankside.

[post_content] => Does the thought of giving a presentation to a room of colleagues fill you with dread? Do you find presenting in person or online in Teams or Zoom difficult? If you have ever needed to win a pitch, share your work in a clear and interesting way or even convince others of your point of view, then this workshop is for you. It is suitable for all levels of ability and for people who want to become confident, articulate and engaging speakers.
You will learn the fundamentals of good communication, including voice control, body language and powerful connection. This interactive session will cover speaking in person and how to adapt to presenting online. You will learn how to create great content and to get your message across and will finish the session a stronger, more effective speaker.
Speakers Trust is a charity dedicated to training people to become more effective communicators and provides opportunities for them to share their perspectives in public. The organisation helps people become better communicators, with a greater awareness of the importance of speaking out. This improves education and employment prospects as well as the desire to use the power of their voice to bring positive change. Once participants see that they can overcome their fear of public speaking and use their voice to effect change, they are empowered to achieve across a range of areas, with benefits spreading to the home, workplace and community.
“I attended the public speaking session and I just wanted to let you know how fantastic it was. Jenny was an incredible trainer and it has been the best training session I have ever attended. I really believe that her training will have an impact on my public speaking skills.”
Spaces are limited, if you are no longer able to attend please cancel your place in advance to allow someone from the waiting list to take your place.
You are welcome to join this event if you live or work in Bankside. Our professional development events have limited spaces, so priority is given to our business members. If you are unsure, please get in touch with us to confirm.
