You will find the current price at the top right of this course page, together with the schedule, location and delivery format. For in-company or bespoke courses we are happy to provide a quotation on request.

What prior knowledge do I need for this course?

You need no technical prior knowledge of AI. We do expect you to be involved in AI decisions in your organisation and to bring a real situation of your own. Experience with management issues, business cases or governance helps you translate the material quickly to your own context.

Who is the AI for managers and team leaders course intended for?

The course is aimed at directors, board members, line managers, team leaders, HR leaders, project and programme managers and management team members. In short: anyone who makes strategic choices about AI without having to work with the tools themselves. Entrepreneurs who want to set the course for AI in their business are also welcome.

Which topics are covered?

You work on AI maturity, the four strategy levels, a business case with ROI, the choice between build, buy or partner, tool selection in broad terms, AI governance, the AI Act and your duty of care, KPIs, risks and change. You finish with your own AI strategy on a single side of A4.

Can I also take the course online?

Yes, the course can be followed in a classroom at our location or online via Microsoft Teams. In the online version you work in the same small group and with the same working sessions as on location. You choose the delivery format that suits you best when you book.

Do I receive a certificate?

Yes, afterwards you receive a certificate of participation from Learnit. With it you can show that you attended the course and worked through the topics covered at a strategic level.

What does the teaching method look like?

Short theoretical frameworks alternate with working sessions in which you apply the material directly to your own organisation. You discuss your choices and dilemmas with the group and the trainer. You receive a workbook with templates and checklists, and work during the session on your own AI strategy on a single side of A4.

Why choose this course over an online AI course or self-study?

Online courses often teach you how to work with AI tools. This course is explicitly aimed at strategy and governance: which course of action suits your organisation, how to build the business case and how to set up governance. You get direct feedback on your own situation and leave with a concrete document you can discuss with your management team.

How do I apply what I have learnt directly within my organisation?

You leave with your own AI strategy on a single side of A4, including your chosen strategy level, a business case in broad terms, governance frameworks and KPIs. With that you can immediately open the conversation with your management team, board or steering group. You use the workbook with templates to develop and test your plans further.

What is the difference with the courses on ChatGPT or Copilot?

Our tool courses (such as ChatGPT or Microsoft Copilot) teach you how to work effectively with AI yourself. This management course looks one level higher: which tools suit which organisation, how to frame their use and how to justify the investment. A combination often works well: first the strategic framework, then a deeper dive into the tool you are going to roll out.

Is the course also suitable for HR leaders or the public sector?

Yes. HR leaders tend to recognise themselves particularly in the themes around change, employee acceptance and the impact of AI on work and roles. For the public sector, the AI Act, duty of care and governance frameworks are especially relevant. You apply the working sessions to your own context, so you will get value out of it whether you work in business, healthcare or government.

How do we deal with ethical questions around the use of AI?

Ethics runs as a common thread through the course. With governance you look at what you do and do not want to permit, with the AI Act at your duty of care as a manager, and with change at how to take your staff along fairly. You practise with real-life dilemmas, such as transparency towards clients, the use of employee data and the boundary between efficiency and humanity.

More and more decisions about AI end up on your desk, while the tools and risks change at breakneck speed. In this course you get a grip on AI from a management perspective, without having to get to grips with the technology yourself. You leave with a concrete AI strategy on a single A4 that suits your organisation.

Description

In this course you learn, as a manager or team leader, to steer AI strategically within your organisation. You work on realistic scenarios and apply what you have learned directly to your own practice, without having to work with the tools yourself.

You start with the basics: where does your organisation stand now and what ambition fits with that. You get to know the four strategy levels (exploring, experimenting, integrating, transforming) and build a business case that puts ROI, costs and risks clearly on the table. After that you weigh up whether to build, buy or work with a partner.

In the afternoon you go deeper into tool selection at a high level, AI governance, the AI Act and your duty of care as a manager. You work on KPIs for AI projects, learn how to cover risks and look at change and employee acceptance. You finish with your own AI strategy on a single A4: a concrete document you can put on the table tomorrow.

Afterwards you receive a workbook with scenarios and business case templates, the one-page strategy format and a reference document on the AI Act and governance. The course is delivered in the classroom or online, with a maximum of 8 participants per group.

Specifically, by the end you will be able to:

Assessing the AI maturity of your organisation or team and choosing a suitable strategy level
Building a business case for AI with a substantiated ROI, costs and risks

Target audience

Do you make strategic choices around AI without having to work with the tools yourself? Then this course is right for you. You do not need any technical prior knowledge, but you should be involved in AI decisions within your organisation.

The course is intended for:

Directors and board members who want to give direction to AI within their organisation
Line managers and team leaders who want to position AI within their department
HR leaders considering the impact of AI on work, roles and development
Project and programme managers who lead AI initiatives
Management team members who want to get to grips with governance, risks and business cases around AI
Entrepreneurs and owners who want to set the course for AI in their business

Teaching method

You spend a full day working strategically under the guidance of an experienced trainer with practical experience in AI and management. We alternate short explanations with working sessions: you are given a framework, apply it to realistic scenarios and to your own organisation, and discuss your choices with the group.

In the morning you build up the strategic framework, from maturity scan to business case and build-vs-buy. In the afternoon you go deeper into governance, the AI Act, KPIs, risks and change. You close the day with your own AI strategy on a single A4, so you take home both knowledge and a concrete document.

The group has a maximum of 8 participants, so there is room for your situation, questions and dilemmas. The course can be followed in the classroom or online. You receive a workbook with scenarios, business case templates and a reference guide on the AI Act and governance.

Prior knowledge

You do not need any technical prior knowledge of AI. It is useful, however, if you are involved in decisions about AI in your organisation and bring along a situation from your own practice to work on. Experience with management issues, business cases or governance helps you translate the material quickly to your own context.

Comments

Bring along a real-life situation or AI question and you can work on your own strategy during the session. Not sure whether the course fits your role? Feel free to contact us.

In-company

Would you like to organise this training for a whole group or several groups? This can be cost-effective. For example, we can tailor the content entirely to your organisation, and training a whole group is also cheaper.

Are you looking at large numbers of participants or a complete academy? That involves a great deal. Consider planning and communication, for example, or identifying and agreeing the objectives and content of the training. Or differences in level, feedback mechanisms and safeguarding. Fortunately, Learnit has extensive experience in this field (more than 25 years) and we are happy to help you through this process.
