How large language models work — without the maths
Why AI hallucinations happen and how to spot them
Evaluating AI vendor claims critically
🕵️

Designing an AI Acceptable Use Policy that sticks
Risk classification — low, medium, and high-risk AI use

Structured procurement framework for AI tools
Contract terms: data portability, liability, and exit
Building a credible AI vendor scorecard
⚖️
Module 04
AI Ethics & Regulatory Compliance

AI bias, fairness, and discrimination risk in practice
Building an AI incident response playbook

Writing an AI strategy your board will actually read
Translating technical AI decisions into business language
Building the ROI case for AI investment
🚀
Module 06
Leading AI-Enabled Teams
16 hrs

Managing AI anxiety and resistance in your teams
Setting team AI policies that people actually follow
Framing AI as augmentation, not replacement
🔗
Module 07
AI Workflow Integration & Automation
20 hrs
"Knowing which workflows are AI-suitable is more valuable than knowing how to use any specific AI tool. Get this wrong and you automate chaos."
Workflow mapping: identifying AI-ready vs AI-unsuitable tasks
Human-in-the-loop design and override protocols
Piloting AI tools without disrupting live operations
📈
Module 08
Measuring AI ROI & Performance

The four ROI categories: productivity, cost avoidance, revenue, risk
Building a 90-day AI measurement framework
Creating dashboards your CFO will trust
🌍
Module 09
