Seizing the opportunities created by Generative AI is among the top priorities of almost every executive team in 2024. To be successful, they will have to overcome the hurdles that have tripped up almost 70% of the digital transformations over the last twenty years – insufficient technical skills and ineffective leadership <\/span>(BCG).<\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Building that new workforce capability is job one for organizations who want to get the innovation flywheel spinning.<\/span><\/p>\n

Leaders will be at the forefront of identifying opportunities and driving successful AI initiatives. This course is focused on mid-level leaders to senior executives who will need to accomplish three critical tasks:<\/span><\/p>\n

Learn.<\/b> Leaders need to immerse themselves in the technology. Within the first 20 minutes of the course, learners will be dropped into their AI environment, allowing them to become more proficient and confident in the company approved AI tool(s). Through fun and easy group and solo exercises, learners will gain rich exposure to the power of the technology.<\/span><\/p>\n

Innovate<\/b>. Leaders need to create processes and organizational climates where innovation flourishes. This course teaches leaders how to nurture innovation across their teams. It also provides an opportunity to capture the leaders\u2019 ideas about how AI can be used at their company.<\/span><\/p>\n

Inspire.<\/b> Leaders need to inspire others to change. The course takes leaders through an approach to building compelling communications. Then they build their own messaging for a capstone presentation on a AI use case.<\/span><\/p>\n

Almost 90% of employees say their leaders will be critical to the success of their AI initiatives. Yet, a recent study from BCG <\/span>reports that 90% of leaders are still standing on the sidelines of this transformation opportunity. This program will get them into the game.<\/span><\/p>\n
