What leaders say about Generative AI for Executives

Verified Learner
VP Strategy, B2B Services

“This course helped me stop treating GenAI as a ‘tool demo’ and start treating it like a business capability. I walked away with a simple way to prioritise use cases, plus a 90-day pilot plan I could take straight to my leadership team.”

Verified Learner
CIO, Manufacturing

“The governance and risk parts were exactly what I needed. It explained hallucinations, data/IP concerns, and what guardrails should look like in a real organisation. Now I can challenge vendors and internal teams with the right questions.”

Verified Learner
Head of Operations, Financial Services

“Very practical. The prompting approach wasn’t gimmicky—it was focused on executive workflows like summarising reports, drafting stakeholder updates, and speeding up analysis. We used the framework to standardise how teams use GenAI without exposing sensitive info.”

Verified Learner
Product Director, SaaS

“I liked that it didn’t oversell GenAI. It showed where it’s strong, where it fails, and how to build human-in-the-loop workflows. The innovation module helped us move from random ideas to a repeatable experiment process for new features.”

Frequently asked questions

What is “Generative AI for Executives” about?

This course helps business leaders understand Generative AI (like ChatGPT and enterprise copilots) and how to apply it for strategy, productivity, innovation, and decision-making.

You’ll learn practical frameworks to choose the right use cases, set guardrails, and lead responsible adoption—without needing a technical background.

Who is this course designed for?

It’s built for executives, directors, senior managers, business owners, and transformation leaders who want clarity on GenAI opportunities and risks.

It’s also useful for product, operations, HR, finance, and innovation leaders who need to evaluate GenAI initiatives and guide teams responsibly.

Do I need a technical background or coding skills?

No. This is a non-technical executive program focused on leadership decisions, strategy, governance, and practical business application—not coding.

If you can use common digital tools and understand business metrics, you can complete this course confidently.

Will this course teach ChatGPT prompts and practical usage?

Yes. You’ll learn practical prompting principles and how to structure prompts for executive work—summaries, analysis, decision support, communication, and productivity workflows.

The focus is “use it well and safely in business,” not advanced technical prompt engineering.

How do we avoid sharing confidential data with AI tools?

You’ll learn key data, privacy, and IP considerations—what should never be shared, how to set internal rules, and how enterprise AI options can reduce risk.

The course helps you create practical guardrails that enable adoption without exposing sensitive information.

How is Generative AI different from traditional AI and automation?

Traditional AI often focuses on prediction and classification, while Generative AI creates new content (text, images, code, summaries) based on patterns learned from data.

You’ll learn where each fits—and how to combine GenAI with data, workflow automation, and human review to get reliable outcomes.

How do I choose the right GenAI use cases for my business?

You’ll use simple evaluation criteria: value, feasibility, risk, data readiness, and change effort. This helps you avoid “demo projects” and focus on measurable outcomes.

The course also shows how to prioritise quick wins vs. strategic bets.

Will we cover governance, compliance, and ethical risk?

Yes. You’ll learn how to think about policy, approvals, human oversight, bias, hallucinations, and accountability—so leaders can scale GenAI responsibly.

You’ll be able to guide teams with clear governance expectations, not vague “be careful” advice.

Does the course help with implementation and pilot planning?

Yes. You’ll learn how to structure a pilot, define success metrics, choose stakeholders, and create an adoption plan that works across functions.

The goal is to move from experimentation to a clear, controlled rollout.

Is the course self-paced, and how long do I get access?

Yes, it’s self-paced. You can learn on your schedule, pause anytime, and revisit modules when needed.

Course access remains available for an extended period after enrollment so you can return to the frameworks as your GenAI initiatives evolve.
