AI for Managers and Business Leaders: Strategy and Risk

“This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.”Artificial intelligence is transforming how organizations make decisions, manage operations, serve customers and lead their people. But managers do not need to become programmers or data scientists to benefit from AI. They need to understand where AI creates business value, how to use it responsibly and how to make better management decisions with it.AI for Managers: Strategy, Risk and Business Decisions provides a practical, non-technical approach to AI for managers, business leaders, entrepreneurs and professionals. You will learn how to identify valuable AI opportunities, use data and AI to support decision-making, improve business processes and evaluate where automation makes sense.The course goes beyond AI tools. You will explore AI risk, ethics, governance, accountability and human oversight, including practical principles drawn from AI management and ISO 42001. You will also learn how to assess AI investments, understand costs and benefits, calculate ROI and payback, and build a convincing AI business case.Because successful AI transformation is ultimately about people as well as technology, you will discover how to manage employee resistance, address concerns about job displacement, build an AI adoption culture and keep humans appropriately involved in important decisions.Finally, you will bring everything together through practical frameworks, a 90-day AI implementation plan, an AI decision framework, business scenarios and a management case study.No programming or technical AI background is required. This course is designed to help you think like an AI-ready manager—someone who can recognize opportunities, challenge assumptions, manage risks and lead AI adoption with confidence and sound business judgment.
