Overview

Most leaders now have access to AI tools, but few have a structured way to use them for the decisions that actually matter — the ones with real trade-offs, incomplete information, and consequences that play out over months, not minutes. This course closes that gap.

It moves participants from a clear grounding in how AI can support decision-making, through practical frameworks for everyday business decisions, and finishes with advanced techniques for high-stakes, ambiguous and strategic scenarios.

The day is deliberately structured as a progression. Participants begin with no assumptions about prior AI experience and build a solid foundation, move into applying AI-supported frameworks to real business decisions, and close with advanced scenario modelling, bias-checking and strategic judgement techniques used at senior leadership level. Every module is grounded in live exercises and real decision scenarios rather than abstract theory.
