Programme Content

Module 1:

AI for Decision-Making and Executive Insight

Turn operational pressure into clear, confident decisions. Discover how AI can be used to structure thinking, test scenarios, and evaluate options before committing time, money, or resources.

You’ll learn how to move from unclear problems and assumptions to well-defined decisions that can be explained, challenged, and acted on with confidence. You’ll leave with a practical method you can apply immediately to real business decisions.

You will be able to:

Turn a messy operational or commercial issue into a clear decision statement
Use AI to explore scenarios (cost, capacity, delivery, risk) before acting
Generate a short, decision-ready summary you can take to your leadership team
Compare options with trade-offs, risks, and next steps clearly laid out
Challenge your own assumptions and reduce bias in decision-making

Module 2:

Leadership Development with AI

Lead effectively in an AI-enabled organisation. Understand how AI is changing expectations of leadership, decision ownership, and team behaviour, and what this means for your role as a business owner or manager.

You’ll explore how to adapt your leadership approach, use AI as a thinking and coaching tool, and build the behaviours required to lead confidently in an environment where AI is part of everyday work.

You will be able to:

Identify where your current leadership approach breaks under AI-enabled ways of working
Clarify decision ownership and accountability when AI is involved
Use AI to challenge your thinking, improve communication, and sharpen judgement
Apply practical leadership behaviours that improve clarity, consistency, and team performance
Build and follow a simple 30-day plan to improve your leadership capability using AI
