Adopting artificial intelligence in your organization is a great opportunity, but making the right AI decisions does not happen automatically. As a business professional or manager, you need to learn, practise and use key AI concepts to evaluate opportunities and risks. Without this, AI initiatives can become unclear, difficult to justify and hard to implement. Successful leaders take the time to build confidence in AI decision-making.

You have to learn quickly how to assess AI solutions, understand data and capabilities, manage risks and ethics, and address different stakeholder perspectives. You also need to communicate clearly with decision-makers and colleagues, while ensuring AI adoption supports business goals.

Based on our experience with organizations across industries, we have developed Winning with Artificial Intelligence (AI): An Immersive Experience. This programme gives you the chance to learn, practise and use essential AI decision-making skills through a realistic, risk-free simulation.
