This two-day programme gives a senior leadership team a working command of artificial intelligence. It is written for executive committees, managing directors and functional heads who carry commercial and operational accountability and who now have to decide where AI belongs in their part of the business. The content is conceptual and practical, no coding is involved at any point, and Modules 6 and 7, the two application modules, are written for your industry before delivery, whether that is logistics, manufacturing, real estate or financial services.
Day one builds the foundation and the tool fluency: what artificial intelligence is and how it works at a conceptual level, the types of AI and where each belongs in a business, hands-on command of ChatGPT, Claude and Microsoft Copilot, structured prompting, document and data work, and the first applied set on the organisation's core operation. Day two carries AI across the remaining business functions, then moves to the leadership agenda: decision-making, agentic AI and the AI Review Board, a facilitated workshop that produces a prioritised portfolio of AI use cases, governance and data privacy, and the change management work of adoption.
Participants work hands-on with AI tools on their own material throughout. The exercises run on the work the room already owns, so the industry expertise stays with the participants while the programme supplies the AI method: which work to hand over, how to ground it in the organisation's own documents and systems, and how to verify a result before it is used. They leave with a personal prompt library, a prioritised set of AI use cases for their own area of responsibility, governance starting points for responsible use, and a ninety-day action plan. Leadership teams that go on to set the enterprise AI strategy, the opportunity matrix and the twelve-month roadmap continue with AI Strategy and Governance. The programme also looks at where the field is heading, with agentic AI, where systems are given a goal and then plan and execute the work under human supervision.
