The “now what do we do about it” course: equip leaders to assess, prioritize, and govern AI initiatives with confidence.
Course Introduction
This session builds the judgment leaders need to assess, prioritize, and govern AI initiatives — how to tell which ones are worth pursuing, not how to run them. It covers the EU AI Act and its board-level timeline, the organizational and technical prerequisites for value creation, workforce and change impact, and the trade-offs behind buy-vs-build and on-prem-vs-cloud. Attendees leave with a clear framework for evaluating opportunities and the key questions every leader must answer before committing to AI.
