About Programme

PROGRAMME OVERVIEW

For senior leaders, the challenge is no longer understanding what AI is but determining how it can be deployed to create sustainable competitive advantage. This program is designed to provide executives with a rigorous framework to integrate AI into corporate strategy, develop business and lead a data-driven culture that scale. AI is used to drive:1. Innovation2. Automation3. Intelligence and Insights4. Agents

Sophistication in AI is expected to be the main differentiator between high performing companies and low-performing companies. The use of AI and its components such as statistical, machine and deep learning algorithms are expected to increase the stakeholder value and customer experience and satisfaction. The algorithmic aspects of AI are available readily through many sources; however, many companies still struggle to integrate AI into their organizational structure.

For example, companies struggle to find answers to the following questions:• What constitutes an AI first company?• What should be the strategy for building an AI initiative within an organization?• What product can we build that was previously impossible without AI?• How to build an AI team?• What problems can be solved using AI?• Understand Generative AI and Its use as operating model.
