Description

Are you leading in a world where AI is everywhere but confidence in how to engage with it is nowhere?

This course builds AI fluency for leaders not technical skills, but the strategic understanding you need to lead, challenge, and guide AI across your organisation.

You’ll learn how AI systems actually work, how to ask the right questions, and how to avoid becoming the leader who nods through jargon-filled meetings or worse, signs off on AI without understanding it.

Whether you’re a senior exec, business unit lead, or future-focused manager, this course gives you the tools to lead AI conversations with clarity, credibility, and confidence.

What makes this course different?

  • Designed for leaders — no coding, just clear insight

  • Fluency over fluff — simple, strategic explanations that stick

  • Real-world examples — McDonald’s, IBM Watson, Klarna, and more

  • Immediate impact — so you can lead with influence today


By the end of this course, you’ll be able to:

  • Explain what powers AI in plain language

  • Distinguish between different AI models and match them to real problems

  • Engage with AI teams, vendors, and initiatives confidently and critically

  • Understand the leadership role in making AI work and avoiding hype-driven mistakes
