Learn to choose AI use cases, build a business case, design pilots and lead AI adoption in your organization

What you'll learn
⚡ Build a 90-day AI adoption plan for your organization and pitch it to your board in five minutes, with clear evidence for the day-90 decision.
⚡ Choose and prioritize the right AI use cases using proven tools: value vs. feasibility, the Eisenhower matrix, portfolio balance and a one-page business case.
⚡ Design and run AI pilots that prove real value: set a baseline, redesign the workflow, and measure impact the way a CFO would.
⚡ Lead the people side of AI: set up the operating model, answer the "what about my job?" question honestly, and drive adoption with the Switch framework.
⚡ Govern AI safely: manage key risks like prompt injection and deepfake fraud, apply the EU AI Act, and turn shadow AI into sanctioned use.

Requirements
❗ No technical or programming background needed. Every AI concept is explained in plain business language.
❗ Some experience in a management, leadership or decision-making role is helpful, but not required.
❗ A real process or problem in your own organization that you'd like to improve with AI. You'll apply each section to it, step by step.

Description

Most companies have bought AI. Few have adopted it.
Licenses are rolled out, pilots run, demos impress. Then the board asks what the company actually got, and nobody can answer with a number.

This course is for the leader who has to answer that question. It's built for executives, managers and strategy leads who decide about AI, not for people who code it. You'll get exactly as much technology as you need to make good decisions, and then the much harder part: choosing the right problem, changing how the work gets done, bringing people with you and proving the value.

One company, from first idea to board decision.
You follow Meridian, a fictional industrial company with 8,000 employees, three ERPs and customers who wait 26 hours for an answer. You watch it pick a use case, build a business case, run a pilot with gates, lead the change, stay safe and legal, and plan its first 90 days. At every step, you do the same for your own company.

What's inside
• 12 sections, 37 lectures and about six hours of video

• A workbook with 12 assignments, each with Meridian's answer to compare against

• A toolkit of seven ready-to-use templates: business case, scorecard, vendor and CISO questions, and more

• A quiz at the end of each section

• Eight real company cases, from JPMorgan Chase and DBS Bank to Klarna and Air Canada: what helped, and the lessons learned

• A glossary of 126 AI terms, in plain language

• A Deep Dive Library to read when you want to go further
