Generative AI for Managers

Generative AI (GAI) is ushering in a new age of productivity in business, and managers who ineffectively adopt it risk being outpaced by forward-thinking competitors. This course equips students to drive impact in any industry using GAI tools. You'll learn to engineer effective prompts, integrate AI into workflows, and develop innovative GAI solutions, as well as explore ethical considerations and future trends.

Business Use Cases for AI Models

Just like you wouldn't use a financial model to drive a marketing campaign, different business use cases require different AI tools. In this course, students will explore the potential and limitations of AI technologies, learning to identify business problems suitable for AI solutions and build effective AI implementation strategies. By the end of this course, students will address key challenges and solutions in AI implementation.

AI Governance and Ethics

Alongside powerful data-driven solutions, AI opens a Pandora's box of ethical issues: data privacy, bias, transparency, and balancing automation with human oversight. AI governance may be the biggest ethical issue of our time, something essential for any manager to understand before implementing this new technology. Students will develop AI policies for ethics and compliance, mitigate AI-related risks, and communicate governance standards to stakeholders.

Managing AI Projects

AI projects can help predict trends and optimize operations, allowing businesses to understand not just what has happened but what will happen—and what should be done about it. By the end of this course, students will be prepared to drive financial and operational impact by managing AI project lifecycles: developing comprehensive project plans, managing data and models, ensuring effective deployment, and communicating progress and outcomes to stakeholders.
