Empowering Malaysian SMEs with AI-driven Idea Generation using ChatGPT

Explore ideas with ChatGPT, refine them with human insight and plan practical applications for your business.

Generating ideas is only part of solving a business challenge. Teams also need to assess whether those ideas are relevant, feasible and suitable for their organisation.

This two-day AI training programme explores how Malaysian SMEs can use ChatGPT for brainstorming, idea evaluation and implementation planning. Through guided workshops and scenario exercises, participants practise combining AI-generated suggestions with their own knowledge and judgement. The programme also introduces Canva AI for visual content creation and examines responsible AI use.
