Agencies

Resources to help your agency put AI to work and build lasting capabilities, starting with AI First Sprints.

Last updated 20 July 2026

AI Sprints

AI Sprints is a hands-on workshop crafted to help officers see how accessible and impactful AI can be in day-to-day work. Through interactive exercises in problem framing, rapid prototyping and AI-powered workflows, participants experience moving beyond using AI merely as an assistant towards harnessing it as an analyst and agent.

The aim is to ignite curiosity, build confidence, and help officers start experimenting with ChatGPT Enterprise ahead of broader enterprise AI rollout.

What participants will learn

Participants will learn how to frame the right problems, rapidly prototype solutions, and apply enterprise AI tools effectively in your day-to-day work.

Problem Framing

Product thinking to define the problem before identifying solutions. Participants will frame clear problem statements, define outcomes, and assess whether AI is the right intervention.

Rapid Prototyping with Vibe-coding

Hands-on experimentation with AI-assisted workflow design and vibe coding. Participants will translate a work problem into a simple prototype or workflow, while understanding limitations and governance considerations.

Enterprise AI in Practice

Prompting, Skills, Connectors, agents and workflow integration. Participants will use enterprise AI capabilities to access information, streamline tasks and improve day-to-day productivity.

Build confidence, identify real AI opportunities, and scale practical, enterprise-ready AI capabilities.

For individual officers

Confidence to move from basic prompting to practical workflow application.

A clearer sense of where AI is useful, and where process issues must be fixed first.

A workplace problem or use case that can be further developed after the sprint.

For agencies and ministries

A common language for AI-enabled ways of working.

More officers able to identify meaningful AI opportunities in their own domains.

A scalable capability-building model aligned with ChatGPT Enterprise rollout.

How to participate

Ministry Families that are interested in running AI Sprints for their officers may indicate their interest via the FormSG link here (opens in new tab) by 7 Aug 26. As part of the submission, Ministry Families are to appoint a POC and consolidate the expected training demand and preferred delivery timelines across their Ministries and Statutory Boards.

IDG will subsequently work with interested Ministry Families on scheduling, delivery partner arrangements, funding details and implementation.

When identifying participants subsequently, agencies are encouraged to nominate a diverse mix of officers across Ministries and Statutory Boards, including Dirs, DDs, potential agency trainers or officers leading AI transformation who can cascade learning within their organisations.

Potential delivery partners may indicate their interest in learning the curriculum and delivery model. IDG will observe and assess their ability to deliver the programme, achieve the intended learning outcomes, and convey the key Public Service AI messages before recommending suitable providers to agencies.
