AI Skills for Non-Technical Managers
Find your time sinks, choose a small set of tools, and leave with a prompt pack, an SOP, a checklist and case examples.
Back-to-back meetings, status reports and inbox triage can leave little time for the work only you can do. AI tools promise relief, but a long list of apps is not a system. This deck helps you pick a few, connect them to your routine, and show others how.

This is a ready-to-use, editable PowerPoint deck of 51 slides on building a personal AI copilot stack. It covers finding your time sinks, choosing tools by category, setting them up, and four deliverables: a prompt pack, SOP, checklist and case examples. It suits busy non-technical managers.
The opening slides name the admin trap and set out what an AI copilot is and is not, with the characteristics of an effective one: context-aware, learns over time, proactively helpful and integrated with the tools you already use. A before-and-after slide and an ecosystem overview set the scene.
The core of the deck is a three-step build. Step 1 is an audit of your biggest time sinks, with a marketing manager's pain points as a worked example. Step 2 is choosing core tools in four categories: communication and writing, meeting management, research and synthesis, and task and workflow, shown as a layered stack. Step 3 covers integration and configuration, with a short Prompt Engineering 101 using four golden rules.
Four deliverables follow: a personalised prompt pack, an SOP for AI integration with an example for meeting summaries, a copilot checklist built on four pillars of responsible use, and a before-and-after case example. A chapter on the manager's evolving role, a Q&A slide and an appendix on advanced prompting, agents, privacy practices and a glossary of AI terms for managers round it out. The deck names many commercial products, so check current features and terms before choosing.

Work through steps 1 to 3 in order, fill in your own time-sink list and finish with one tool and one prompt you will actually use on Monday.
Present the stack visual and the manager-as-conductor slides, then let each participant draft one SOP for a task they own.
Share the checklist and the privacy slides so everyone starts from the same four rules of responsible use.
Download the deck instantly, open it in PowerPoint, Keynote or Google Slides and replace the example tools with the ones you are allowed to use. Slide 36 sets out your first copilot action.
