What you'll learn:
- Explain generative AI, automation, and intelligent automation in plain English
- Create 3–4 AI disruption scenarios and define early warning indicators
- Apply the NIST AI Risk Management Framework to map and reduce AI risk
- Design Responsible AI guardrails for bias, privacy, and transparency
- Build an AI strategy and roadmap aligned to business goals and readiness
- Plan upskilling/reskilling and lead culture change for AI adoption
Generative AI and automation aren’t “coming someday”—they’re already reshaping knowledge work. Consider what leaders are seeing right now:
Nearly three-quarters of executives expect generative AI to create significant or disruptive change within ~3 years.
Studies suggest ~30–45% of today’s work tasks could be automated with current AI capabilities.
Companies are already pausing or reshaping hiring in roles they believe AI will automate.
If you’re a leader being asked, “What’s our AI plan?” and you don’t yet have a clear, credible answer—this course is built for you.
This course is not a technical deep dive and it won’t try to turn you into a machine learning engineer. Instead, you’ll learn a practical leadership playbook to plan for the transformative and disruptive impact of Generative AI and Automation—so you can make smarter decisions, reduce risk, and guide your people through change with confidence.
In this course, you’ll learn how to:
Understand generative AI vs. automation (and why the combo is so disruptive)
Spot real-world trends and use cases across functions and industries
Use scenario planning to prepare for multiple AI futures (not one forecast)
Identify and mitigate AI risks (hallucinations, bias, privacy, legal exposure)
Apply governance and Responsible AI principles to build trust and accountability
Upskill and reskill teams so adoption accelerates instead of stalling
Lead cultural change so AI becomes a capability—not a source of fear
Build an AI strategy and roadmap aligned to business goals and readiness
By the end, you’ll have a repeatable framework you can bring into leadership meetings, planning cycles, and transformation initiatives—so your organization can move faster than the disruption, not behind it.
