AI 4 Business
We estimate that fewer than 10 percent of companies using AI have yet to fully operationalize it within their business processes or have organization-wide strategies.
The main reasons for this framework are not technological. Rather, firms have been held back by a lack of skills and an inability in building strategies that add value integrated in their Business Intelligence platforms, founded in the available analytical skills and in AI, including dimensions as governance and ethical use of data.
This hybrid non-technical program, in collaboration with Microsoft in the scope of their AI Business School (a global initiative with INSEAD), presents the state of the art and train executive-level in a practical and actionable way how to build an AI strategy for their organization, including organization’s culture and responsibility.
Who is it for?
The “AI 4 Business” course is aimed at business leaders and executives who want to reinforce the strategies for implementing AI in their companies, as well as offering the necessary tools to use AI responsibly.
The lack of awareness and education among business leaders on how to create an AI strategy and how to execute a responsible approach to AI is a natural blocker to any industry's digital transformation process.
Knowing how to guide people in a changing context and define a strategy is fundamental for creating real business value and for building a flexible culture that is adaptable to a new work approach. This course was developed to respond to these needs with the objective of training executives and business leaders to use AI focused on strategy, company culture and leadership.
