The Leadership Gap

88% of organisations are increasing AI budgets, but most investment decisions are made without a strategic framework

Technology-led approaches dominate, yet 80% of organisations report no measurable earnings impact from their AI deployments

There's a 3-6 month window to set AI agent strategy before competitive disadvantage becomes structural

30%

of organisations have CEO-sponsored AI agendas — the strongest predictor of success

IS THIS RIGHT FOR YOU

Who Should Attend

C-suite executives, board members, and senior directors responsible for AI investment and deployment decisions. No technical background needed — optional 20-minute baseline session available.

This is for you if…

You're making or influencing AI investment decisions and need a strategic framework

You want to understand where AI agents create measurable value, and where they don't

You need to evaluate risks across financial, regulatory, workforce, and technology dimensions

You want a business-need-first approach, not a technology showcase

This isn't for you if…

You're looking for hands-on AI implementation or coding skills (we offer separate technical tracks)

Your organisation already has a board-approved AI agent strategy with clear governance

You want self-paced e-learning rather than live facilitation with executive peer discussion

What Makes This Different

Agent-Specific Strategy

Most AI courses cover generative AI broadly. Copilots, chatbots, content tools. But only 23% of organisations have scaled agentic AI, and agents bring fundamentally different strategic implications: autonomous decisions, consumption-based costs, new governance requirements. This course addresses what generic AI strategy training doesn't.

Five-Theme Strategic Lens

Financial, customer, governance, technology, and workforce considerations addressed as interconnected. 62% of AI-deploying organisations lack defined governance strategies, and gaps in one area create risks across all five. Most courses cover technology in isolation. This one ensures nothing is missed.

Action-Ready, Not Awareness

92% of executives plan AI spending increases, yet only 1% call their organisation "mature" in deployment. The gap isn't awareness. It's execution. You leave with a RAG-rated readiness assessment across five themes, a business-need-first opportunity evaluation, and an executable 30-day action plan with clear accountability.
