AU0009 · Level 5 AI leadership unit
AI Leadership: AI Strategy and Opportunity
A focused TIQPlus course for leaders who need to move from AI awareness to a practical organisational strategy. AU0009 helps learners identify viable AI opportunities, assess risk, build evidence-based business cases and communicate a clear direction for adoption.
Who this course is for
AU0009 is designed for employed leaders with autonomy to influence technology change and investment decisions. It is particularly relevant when an organisation is still exploring AI and needs leadership capability before procurement, implementation or large-scale workforce change begins.
Functional leaders
Heads of operations, HR, finance, service delivery or digital transformation who need to identify credible AI opportunities in their area.
Early-stage adopters
Organisations moving from experimentation to a structured AI strategy and needing a shared leadership vocabulary before wider rollout.
What learners work on
- Assess organisational AI opportunities using qualitative and quantitative evidence.
- Build business cases that balance productivity, feasibility, risk and workforce implications.
- Define and communicate an AI strategy aligned to goals, values and risk appetite.
- Evaluate pilots and use cases before committing wider investment.
- Engage technical and non-technical stakeholders so AI adoption has visible leadership support.
- Monitor emerging AI trends and adapt strategic direction as the technology changes.
TIQPlus positioning: the course turns the official AU0009 learning outcomes into applied workplace activities, strategy artefacts and Skills Test preparation rather than a generic AI awareness workshop.
Course structure

Evidence is organised into a coherent strategy narrative for assessment and employer validation.
