Deploying AI in the organisation or using it to decide
Two certificates approach artificial intelligence through two executive doors. One equips deployment inside company processes, the other its use at the moment of decision. Here are their durations, blocks, supervised hours and fees, on a single grid.
Two executive doors
The first certificate starts from processes: spotting profitable use cases, preparing data, choosing tools, running a pilot, measuring its effect and scaling it. It addresses whoever must bring artificial intelligence into an organisation. The second starts from the decision: framing a question for the tool, judging the quality of an answer, governing its use, and arbitrating on that basis. It addresses whoever decides.
The claim made by each

Move from talking about AI to measurable gains. Tell a profitable AI use case from an expensive fad.
Certificate in Artificial Intelligence for Business Decisions
Know what AI can do in your organisation — and turn down the projects that will fail. Frame a use case from a business problem, not from a technology.

Answers to recurring questions
