“Silvercrest AI’s training was clear, practical and tailored to the needs of different teams at Premia. It combined AI fundamentals and the practical use of Microsoft Copilot with examples from our everyday work, giving participants a useful framework they can apply in practice.”

The brief

Make AI useful to different teams, not just interesting in a presentation.

Make AI useful to different teams, not just interesting in a presentation.

Premia wanted to turn interest in AI into practical confidence across its teams. Our role was to connect AI fundamentals to their everyday work, with examples suited to different roles and space for questions. Following an initial workshop, the collaboration grew into an in-house programme in Athens. The programme brought 25 participants together to explore familiar documents, decisions and information through live demonstrations and open discussion.

The Athens meeting room became a shared space for explanations, live demonstrations and discussion. The training moved from understanding what AI can and cannot do to examining familiar work: preparing information, reviewing spreadsheets, drafting documents and shaping presentations. A printed reference guide kept the frameworks close at hand. The format made it possible to connect the same foundations to different roles, while keeping confidentiality and human review part of the conversation.

The training

A working method first, then everyday tasks in Microsoft Copilot.

The programme began with the AI landscape, the strengths and limitations of current models, and the information that should not be shared. It introduced a practical framework for delegation, description, discernment and diligence: deciding what to hand over, explaining the task clearly, checking the result and staying accountable. Participants then explored a seven-part prompting structure, five prompting techniques and reusable examples relevant to real estate work. The practical Copilot segment connected these ideas to Outlook, Teams, Excel, Word and PowerPoint, using a fictional portfolio review to show how related tasks can fit together without relying on confidential company information.

How each session was structured

Three blocks connected AI foundations, hands-on practice and questions from the teams, with examples adapted to their roles.

The details

What the programme included, and how it grew

What the programme included, and how it grew

What the programme included

  • A pre-session conversation to understand the teams, their tools and their typical tasks

  • Content adapted separately for leadership and finance, and for legal, investment and audit roles

  • A working framework for deciding what to delegate to AI and how to check the result

  • Structured prompting techniques with real estate examples

  • Live Microsoft Copilot demonstrations across the Office applications the teams use every day

  • A 12-page reference handout, reusable prompt templates and the full presentation

  • Email support in the weeks after the sessions

How the engagement grew

  • First session: an in-person workshop in Athens with a first group

  • Feedback: Premia asked for a follow-up for more of its teams

  • Follow-up: further sessions in Athens, each tailored to the group’s roles

  • After the sessions: materials shared internally and support by email

What the teams took away

What changed for the team

The learning did not end when the workshop finished. Premia received the presentation and supporting materials for internal distribution, alongside a 12-page reference guide and reusable prompting templates. The materials gave teams something concrete to return to as they tried the methods in their own work. Premia confirmed that the follow-up material was shared with employees, and its CFO / CIO described the training as clear, practical and tailored to different teams. The repeat engagement shows how a focused first workshop can grow into a broader programme when the content is relevant to the people using it.
