AI at the Executive Level

Every organization already has an AI posture, whether it was chosen deliberately or incidentally. Having no formal policy, or choosing not to adopt AI at all, is as much a posture as a 'tokenmaxxing' one. Setting the right policy for your organization, and understanding the side effects of that choice, is an essential responsibility of leadership today. This course is designed to help you understand how AI adoption is actually happening, the surfaces where it is likely coming into contact with your organization, the pros and cons of each path, and the common pitfalls organizations have encountered. Rather than training on any particular tool, the course stays with the decisions leadership actually owns: policy, budget, organizational design, and accountability for results.

For the deeper foundation behind these decisions (the evidence and economics of AI in the enterprise, on a multi-year horizon), our six-session course, AI Strategy For Business Leaders, covers that ground.

Participants will develop the judgment leaders need to:

• Read where AI is already entering your organization, and understand how it is changing the competitive landscape
• Set AI policy on data, access, and acceptable use
• Weigh build vs. buy vs. partner, and understand seat-vs-token economics
• Anticipate AI's effects on team structure, spans of control, and the talent pipeline
• Plan for proper ROI and adoption metrics that avoid measurement traps that reward the wrong behavior
• Set norms and culture for successful AI adoption
