Taught
From the session transcripts, with the tutor’s notes.
“Before anyone opens a chatbot, somebody has to say what we’re allowed to put into it. That’s the policy. And somebody has to say why we’re doing this at all: that’s the business case.”

Tutor’s note: policy and business case introduced; workforce implications discussed in breakouts.
“Write down one job in your team that changes if this works. Not disappears: changes. That’s the workforce line in your business case.”
