Automating Admin & Workflows for Project Owners (KC-AIPO) is a practical, instructor-led programme designed for non-technical project leaders who are overwhelmed by manual reporting, scattered spreadsheets, and disconnected workflows. Instead of spending hours chasing updates and compiling status reports, participants learn how to build a “Smart PMO” that automates administrative processes using no-code tools.
In many industries such as construction, logistics, events, and corporate services, a common challenge exists: what happens on-site or in operations often does not match what is recorded in the office. This disconnect creates reporting errors, missed deadlines, and poor visibility for decision-makers. This course addresses that problem by teaching participants how to restructure existing spreadsheets into structured “Smart Trackers” and connect them with automation workflows.
Over two days, learners combine Google Sheets for structured tracking, n8n for automation, and AI tools for intelligent data processing. The focus is not on coding but on practical implementation using drag-and-drop logic and ready-made templates.
What learners will gain from this course:
The ability to transform messy spreadsheets into structured, reliable tracking systems
Skills to automate repetitive tasks such as reminders, approvals, and status updates
Practical experience using AI to extract information from emails and reports
The capability to create real-time dashboards for stakeholders
Knowledge to deploy a simple “Digital Assistant” that answers project-related questions
