What this course does

• Clarifies the problem first: value propositions and competitive position—before touching tools
• Builds strategic judgment: distinguish signals from noise and choose a few high-leverage priorities
• Translates strategy into oversight: define outcomes, ask the right questions, and hold teams accountable to the right behaviors
• Covers smart AI adoption basics: benefits, risks, and guardrails—without the buzzwords

You’ll leave with

• A clearer strategic narrative for your function or business unit
• A short list of opportunities where AI can support that strategy
• An Action Learning Project tailored to your organization—your choice of a real issue to address, designed and scoped by you, with feedback to make it stick

Ideal for: GMs, functional leaders, and senior managers who own direction-setting and want AI to serve strategy—not the other way around.
