Save hours every week with AI
You don't need to be technical to get real value from AI.
In this course you learn to use generative AI for writing, analysis, research and meeting preparation, write instructions that work, and spot the risks before they become problems. You test three use cases in your own job and measure the time you save.
By the end of the course you will have a personal AI playbook: three use cases tested in your job, with before-and-after time, prompts and risks.
This course is the first step of the learning path “Leading with AI”. Next, explore “Data, Analytics and AI for Managers” and “Leading the AI-Ready Organisation”.
Who is AI at Work: A Practical Toolkit for Managers intended for?
The course is designed for team leads, managers and specialists who are new to AI or use it only occasionally.
No technical background is needed.
