AI Strategy & Management Executive Coaching Programme

---

After the hype comes the reality!

Embedding AI into your organisation, leveraging its full potential to build future readiness, is no different from any other strategic initiative. A clear vision, strategy, and action plan for ‘getting there’ are required.

This innovative and highly practical online Executive Coaching Programme covers the key issues and challenges in developing and implementing a successful AI-supported transformation strategy for your organisation. 

Upon completion of the programme and using the AI Roadmap Framework, Self-Evaluation Toolkits, and Gen AI Exercises provided, you will have developed a future-ready AI strategy for your organisation and an action plan for "getting there."

The AI Roadmap Framework presented will not guarantee success. However, if used effectively, it will significantly reduce the likelihood of failure, ensuring that:

• A business first perspective is adopted at all times, avoiding a myopic focus on the technology aspect of AI.
• The AI initiatives your organisation implements are fully aligned with and supportive of overall business goals and objectives.
• KPIs and targets are agreed upon for monitoring and evaluating AI performance, business impact and ROI.
• Competing AI initiatives are prioritised based on their relative contribution to short and longer-term business objectives, KPIs and targets.
• All key success factors are considered, especially the organisation, people and resource aspects critical to successful AI strategy implementation.
• Your organisation does not suffer from ‘paralysis by analysis’. Our recommended approach considerably speeds up, rather than slows down, the AI strategy development and implementation process.
• The approach can also be very useful for internal and external communications; a simple but comprehensive framework for presenting AI goals, objectives, key actions and initiatives to colleagues, partners and other stakeholders — providing clarity on the organisation’s AI vision, helping employees create a link between their work and the AI rollout.

Adopting a business-first perspective, key features of the programme include:

• A focus on aligning AI initiatives with agreed business goals and objectives.
• Detailed coverage of three main types of AI - Gen AI (the "Creator"), Analytical AI (the "Predictor), and Agentic AI (the "Executor").
• An AI planning framework supporting strategy development and implementation. 
• Agreeing AI priorities and timelines.
• KPIs for monitoring and evaluating AI progress and business impact.
• Guidance on overcoming organisational, cultural, people and leadership barriers to AI adoption.
• Guidance on AI communications and stakeholder engagement.

An innovative aspect of the programme is the flexible, hybrid delivery mode adopted. This combines live sessions, on-demand resources, peer community interaction, 1-to-1 mentoring and support to suit participants' needs. Training and guidance is provided in using Gen AI tools to personalise the learning experience to individual needs.

Key features include:

• Live sessions covering core topics as required.
• Self-evaluation toolkits and frameworks for assessing your organisation's AI readiness.
• Gen AI tools - practical, hands-on exercises to support AI strategy development & implementation.
• Peer-to-peer engagement and support in an online AI Community.
• 1-to-1 personalised AI mentoring and support.
