Course Content
This AI for Business leaders course is designed to give you the fundamentals every leader must understand about AI in 2026, this course will guide through a structured series of AI-related leadership challenges:
-
Challenge #1. Too much choice: AI technology through a leadership lens. A hands-on exploration of several different AI platforms, focusing attention on what they have in common and the key differences between them. By the end of this session, you will have started to identify selection criteria for the AI technology your organisation needs.
-
Challenge #2. Prompts and super-prompts: the discipline of context engineering. Test different approaches to prompting AI and discover that the more information you give the better responses you get … up to a point. By the end of this session, you will have built your first super-prompt.
-
Challenge #3. Keeping it relevant: enabling Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG). Most AI platforms will retrieve information from the Internet to augment their responses. For organisations, this usually needs to be extended to access in-house data and assets. In this session, you will use AI to interrogate a spreadsheet before and after it has been rendered AI-legible.
-
Challenge #4. From analysis to action: welcome to the world of AI Agents. Agents transform AI from a passive tool for retrieval to an active tool for execution. In this session you will be given hands-on access to a cluster of adversarial AIs, designed to review and enhance each other’s work. By the end of the session, you will be exploring the types of goals agentic AIs could pursue within your organisation.
