Why attend Building and Scaling Intelligent Enterprises with Artificial Intelligence?

Emerging digital and data-enabled technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, big data, and automation, are generating significant interest in a growing number of industries. Although many executives understand the need to adopt these technologies to remain competitive, the question remains whether this can be done effectively and at scale. Leaders implementing AI projects must separate myth from reality to formulate future strategies — or enhance existing ones — that deliver business value.

In the course, you’ll develop a comprehensive taxonomy of AI-enabled use cases and learn how to strategically leverage data-enabled models to implement intelligent processes and systems. You’ll explore the core elements of an enterprise AI strategy, including investment in technical and data infrastructure, developing human-related expertise and capabilities, and implementing structured playbooks to select and manage AI projects. The course emphasizes various implementation challenges associated with new AI technolgies and provides suggested approaches for managing them. You’ll leave the program with key insights for integrating AI-enabled projects across different business environments, including your own.

You'll develop a system-level view of the strategic use of AI technologies to allow for data-driven, rapid, and targeted decision processes. Insights include, but are not limited to, the building of required data infrastructure, hiring the right talent, overcoming resistance to change, and integrating technology within existing organizational structures. By evaluating AI in an entire project life cycle, you'll create a strategy for the identification, implementation, and management of AI projects in the form of an AI playbook. Finally, you'll be given the opportunity to leverage advice from practitioners across different industries to inform your strategy.
