This course prepares business leaders and executives for the opportunities and risks that AI brings, particularly in the context of generative AI.

The potential for AI to massively disrupt business in the next 12 – 18 months is real, and this course:

  • Helps to prepare leaders and their teams for the coming changes to ensure they avoid business model disruption having an adverse impact on their business.

  • Gives leaders information to help them evaluate their business strategies in light of AI’s likely impact.

  • Explores the risks and considerations that should be evaluated for any business implementing AI.

Please note - this course does not go into detail on specific tools or in-depth into specific AI technologies. It is targeted at business leaders who want to learn more about AI in their business context.

The course guides leaders through the current state of AI, what the opportunities and risks could be, and what they need to consider when facing into AI and suggests a path forward.

There is a lot of hype, uncertainty and scepticism regarding AI - this course is grounded in real business experience, written and delivered by experienced digitally focused business consultants and executives with a combined 40+ years’ experience working for large blue chip organisations, start-ups and small-to-medium businesses in the US, UK, Europe and Oceania.

The course gives leaders an overview of why Artificial Intelligence is important now, what the possible impacts could be on their business and how to plan for AI adoption.

It is structured in a way that allows leaders to dip into specific areas of interest and concern, based on their role in their business.

Our working world is changing rapidly so are you getting left behind? Goldman Sachs research revealed 300 million jobs could be affected by latest wave of artificial intelligence (AI).  Some jobs will be replaced by AI tools whilst millions of others will change as AI takes over many key tasks.  Frankly the skills and approaches you've used in the past are not enough to help you succeed now and in the future.  So how do you stay relevant?

Whether you are a leader today, or hope to become a leader tomorrow, it's essential that you are able to use AI tools.  In this course you'll get hands-on experience so leaders and managers who aren't IT experts will learn about AI, particularly new generative AI tools like ChatGPT. 

The media is full of stories about ChatGPT - it's a new type of artificial intelligence tool that will revolutionise our world.  Recent research from AI Governance shows that 58% of Boards have no-one on them who understands what AI is and 91% have no controls for AI use. If you're not a technical person you need to upskill so you understand how ChatGPT and similar tools work, and how you can harness their power.   

This course will teach you:

  • the basics of what artificial intelligence is

  • what's so special about ChatGPT and other generative AI

  • how you can get started with using it in your organisation

  • what pitfalls you need to be aware of

  • how to develop your career so you can keep up with the tech changes

My background is in law, communications, marketing and government relations.  In 2018 I realised that AI was going to change our world dramatically so I completely changed my career by taking a year to study MSc AI and Data Science.  I learned to code and was inspired by the technical opportunities AI offers, as well as the ethical challenges.  I also realised that not everyone can take a year out to study intensively so I established AI Governance to inspire leaders and organisation to use AI with wisdom and integrity.

Take this course and join the leaders who understand how to harness the power of AI.

Ever since Jan 1 , 2021 the PMP Exam has been based on a new Exam Content Outline (ECO). This ECO has 3 sections (a.k.a. domains): People, Process, and Business Environment. This PMP test-prep course focuses solely on the PEOPLE domain and will walk you through the "PMI way" when it comes to every single task in the ECO... in order. PMP adamantly says that the PMP exam is not based on a book, but rather it is based on the ECO. That being said, they also admit to referencing certain publications when coming up with exam questions. This is a tricky exam because you need to look for the "best" answer... not merely a correct answer. And what's the best answer? It's the one that represents the "PMI way." Your instructor for this course has been leveraging the PMI way in her career since taking her first full-time PM role back in 2007. She's kept up with the ever-advancing project management body of knowledge and has been teaching PMP test prep classes since 2014.

If you are not prepping for the PMP, but rather interested in gaining PDU's or CEU's, you can submit this course as a self study for consideration by PMI. Axelos, etc to count towards your continuing education credit.

This course is also great for people who are looking for power skills. Note that according to PMI, “Power skills — also known as interpersonal skills or soft skills such as communication, problem-solving and collaborative leadership — are proving essential for project professionals.” According to PMI research, communication, problem-solving, collaborative leadership, and strategic thinking are the top four power skills of project professionals. These are all covered in this course.

And when it comes to AI-proofing your career, McKinsey’s research identified 56 distinct elements of talent (DELTAs) that fall within several skills groups. McKinsey calls them DELTAs, rather than skills, because they are a mix of skills and attitudes. They documented these DELTAs in an article entitled Defining the Skills Citizens will Need in the Future World of Work: To future-proof citizens’ ability to work, they will require new skills—but which ones? A survey of 18,000 people in 15 countries suggests those that governments may wish to prioritize.


This course addresses many of the distinct elements of talent that are needed in the future world of work.


Whatever your reason for checking this course out,  you will find that it is jam-packed with the information you're looking for!

How can an evolving, continuously emerging technology like Artificial Intelligence (AI) be managed to ensure responsible and effective use in the workplace? That is the leadership challenge this course helps you plan for.

AI provides significant opportunities for catalysing innovation and improving productivity but also presents significant risks. ‘Hallucinations’, privacy breaches, and negative outcomes such as financial loss, litigation, reputational damage, health and safety consequences, and even death, have all been attributed to AI use. Shadow AI in the workplace potentially increases these risks by AI use being unknown and uncontrolled.

This short course poses three provocations:

  1. Workplaces need an AI-ready culture to deploy AI effectively

  2. Robust AI governance is necessary to control AI risks

  3. Human skills are needed for responsible and effective AI

In the course, we consider risks and outcomes, presenting compelling reasons why AI use in the workplace must be managed to ensure responsible and effective deployment. We explore why an organisational culture that promotes flexibility, individual responsibility and the ability to adapt, is necessary, and provide an introduction to the organisational design, Mesh, to enable such an approach. We cover governance considerations for empowering responsible decision-making by personnel across the organisation, and the implications for skills development given the rapidly evolving nature of AI.

Design Cairns will help guide your planning for AI use in the workplace. They provide frameworks for considering and implementing approaches covered under each provocation.

The course is relevant to senior leaders considering the deployment of AI across their organisation; leaders incorporating the use of AI by their team; and individuals using AI. It is designed to be personalised and quick diagnostics will aid decision-making about content to focus on, while completing the whole course will provide a comprehensive overview of considerations, approaches and planning frameworks for managing AI use in the workplace.

Led by founder of Ardcairn, Grainne Hamilton, FRSA and member of the RSA AI Network, the course features a Question & Answer session with AI standards expert Kerry Sheehan, formerly of the UK Government PM/Cabinet Office who worked on the UK AI standards.
