Curious about AI but not sure where to start?đź’»

When Dawn Chamberlain joined our AI for Workplace Productivity Skills Bootcamp, she was looking to build new skills and explore future career opportunities.

One of the biggest things she took away from the course was learning how to use AI tools confidently, responsibly, and in ways that could make an immediate difference at work.

Our bootcamp is all about making AI practical, approachable, and useful for everyday workplaces.

If you’d like to boost your digital skills, improve productivity, and feel more confident using AI, we’d love to have you join us.

At Cosmic, our Planet initiative is dedicated to integrating sustainability into everything we do, helping organisations reduce their environmental impact through smarter, greener digital practices.

6 realistic digital habits that can reduce waste:

1. Sharing links instead of attachments where possible
2. Deleting outdated files, duplicate documents, and unnecessary emails
3. Organising shared folders so people can find what they need quickly
4. Reducing unnecessary printing
5. Choosing video meetings when they replace travel
6. Reviewing whether all your systems, subscriptions, and stored files are still needed

These habits are not only good for the environment. They can also make work easier, reduce confusion, and save time.

This Small Business Week, we’re proud to stand alongside the incredible entrepreneurs across the South West, helping them unlock productivity, create new jobs, reach new markets, and build stronger, more sustainable futures.”

As AI becomes part of everyday work, so do the security risks.

The good news? There are practical ways to manage them 👇

Set clear rules
Define what AI can and can’t be used for, especially around sensitive data.
Treat prompting as a skill
Be clear, specific, and mindful of context and risk.
Review outputs
Always check AI-generated content before using it.
Start simple governance
Put basic guidance in place.
Update training
Include AI risks, data handling, and limitations in cyber awareness.

AI is now part of how we work, so it needs to be part of how we think about security too.

How can Cosmic help?

Cosmic supports organisations with cyber security services, cyber security training, and practical AI training for small businesses. This helps teams use AI more safely, build confidence, and understand where the risks may sit in everyday work.

If you’re reviewing how AI is used across your organisation, now is a good time to tighten internal rules, improve awareness, and make sure cyber resilience keeps pace with new tools.

This week, as we delve deeper into our social impact report, we look at PLANET and how digital progress and environmental responsibility go hand in hand.

Our report recognises that how we use technology matters as much as access to it.
From supporting organisations to make greener digital choices, to embedding sustainability thinking into training and delivery, our work continues to evolve.
As one colleague put it:
“Small digital decisions, made consistently, can add up to meaningful environmental impact.”

We're going to be building on our learnings by further integrating sustainability into how we design services, training and digital transformation support.

Is it time to give your website a refresh? đź‘€

Your website should be working hard for your business, not holding it back.

Here are 7 signs it might be time for an update:

1. It looks outdated or feels hard to use
2. Your branding has changed
3. It’s not mobile-friendly
4. You’re not showing up well on Google
5. It’s not very accessible
6. The tech behind it is out of date
7. It can’t grow with your business

A good website should be fast, easy to use, and ready to grow with you.

If that’s not the case, it might be time for a rethink 💻
