The Home for Planners & Strategists
Get the Best Out of AI
A series of seminars designed and co-hosted by Oli Feldwick to help the Planning community go deeper into specific applied AI topics.
This series of talks and discussions is designed to go deeper into specific AI topics that have a direct relevance to the practice of Planning and Strategy. The format will include participation and a group exercise, along with a decent time for question & answer & discussion.
The sessions will be co-hosted by Oliver Feldwick, joined by guest hosts throughout the series. Our initial run of 6 sessions will end with a hybrid virtual and physical session and a chance to meet up and connect.

​Session 1: Prompt Powered Planning

More about Oli Feldwick
Oli Feldwick
I was, perhaps, destined to end up in advertising. Son of a planner and a qualitative researcher, my early years were spent watching ad-reels instead of postman pat. This was followed by a wasted youth of computer gaming, programming and tinkering. And then jobs in research, digital and integrated agencies. Now working at The&Partnership as Head of Innovation. As a Philosophy graduate, I worry about the ethics of advertising and think the industry is at an important turning point with digital marketing. I explored this theme in my 2016 Admap Essay, "The Uncanny Valley of Personalisation", which explored the pitfalls of personalisation in advertising and how to avoid them. I have since written a Dissertation for the IPA Excellence Diploma on “Unleashing Cyborg Creativity”. I also like trains, obscure walking tours, police procedurals and buying books that I will never get round to reading. I also cook a fabulous bolognese.

​
"Excellent session. I think Oli had some really concise and provocative ways to explaining GenAi’s strengths and weaknesses, lots to take away and think about. Definitely feel better prepared and armed to try new approaches in a more informed way."
​
"The content was helpful and relevant. The information was well organized. Best practices were actionable and easy to apply to everyday life. The speaker was true planner and truly knew about AI (as opposed to half-a expert with a couple of tricks)."
