Every executive today feels the pressure to “win in AI.” Caught between relentless hype and an urgent need to act, leaders are navigating a moment of unprecedented opportunity, and deep uncertainty. There is no universal playbook. AI transformation is messy, full of tradeoffs, and looks different in every organization, reshaping both how the enterprise operates and how products are built.

This course offers a structured, practical path forward.

At its core is a clear, actionable AI maturity framework that helps you assess where your organization stands across 4 critical dimensions:

1) Strategy 🎯

2) Ways of Working 🤝

3) People & Culture 👥

4) Systems of Enablement 🛠️

You’ll learn how to translate assessment into action, and acquire the tools to develop a personalized and actionable transformation path grounded in your organization’s context, maturity, and goals.

AI isn’t just a technology shift. It’s a leadership and cultural one. This course equips you with the clarity, frameworks, and confidence to lead that transformation, intentionally, credibly, and with lasting impact across product, people, and culture.

What you’ll learn

Build a clear AI strategy, define ROI metrics, and craft a practical roadmap to turn hype into results across product, people, and culture.

  • Assess where your organization stands today through our proprietary AI Maturity survey

  • Understand how to translate that assessment into a focused, realistic transformation roadmap

  • Develop the leadership judgment to drive AI transformation across the four critical dimensions of the framework

  • Define what success looks like for AI in your context — and how to measure it

  • Navigate the innovation dilemma: balancing short-term value delivery with long-term, sustained differentiation

  • Decide where to focus — and where not to — as AI expands what’s possible to maximize ROI

  • Adapt strategy, planning, and execution for non-deterministic systems

  • Make better decisions under uncertainty, including how to prioritize, sequence, and resource AI initiatives

  • Shift from linear plans to experimentation, learning loops, and smart velocity

  • Understand and lead the cultural shifts required for sustainable AI adoption

  • Evolve talent models and workforce capabilities as AI changes how work gets done

  • Build shared AI fluency, confidence, and accountability across teams

  • Understand what elements of technology and governance are required to make AI usable and scalable, safely

  • Understand how to assess the tools, access, and guardrails necessary to enable AI fluency across the organization
