Empowering leaders to navigate the impact of Generative and Agentic AI

Digital transformation isn’t just digitizing workflows — it’s about reimagining operations, markets, and leadership with AI at the center. In this executive-level program, you’ll go beyond high‑level theory to acquire practical frameworks, tools, and governance strategies tailored for Generative and Agentic AI. Through hands-on exercises, real-world case studies, expert instruction, and a capstone project, you’ll learn to build AI‑powered systems responsibly and strategically — from prompt to impact. 

What you will learn?

  • Understand the fundamentals of generative and agentic AI, including their architectures, use cases, and future potential

  • Assess where and how AI can improve business outcomes, from operational workflows to customer engagement, while evaluating the viability and cost-effectiveness of AI adoption

  • Integrate AI systems into existing digital ecosystems, leveraging cloud infrastructure, APIs, and enterprise platforms

  • Evaluate AI platforms for strategic fit, capabilities, business value, and risk

  • Develop agent-based solutions to orchestrate multistep workflows and enhance automation

  • Navigate governance and compliance challenges, including ethical deployment and regulatory frameworks like GDPR, HIPAA, and CCPA.

  • Build a strategic AI roadmap, culminating in an actionable adoption plan or executive pitch, supported by change management considerations for successful implementation.

Participant Testimonials

The content and structure were top notch! The fact that there was technical and non-technical versions was also great. Although I might have read articles and listened to podcasts etc on AI , this course put that into structure with clear examples and easy to digest and remember content. The references and videos were quite helpful to better understand the AI and the application on AI at my workplace and for our clients....

The modules were the right size and depth. I appreciated the real world examples, and the visual frameworks helped break complex topics into digestible pieces. I got amazing feedback from my instructor as well. Each bit of feedback helped me refine my idea and expand on where to go next. It was insightful and even when something needed more work, it was delivered in a way that was encouraging....

First of all, it was great to understand the differences of generative AI to agentic AI. The most favourite part is where I could get to hear and see how other business are applying AI into their workflow and daily business as everyone seems coming from different industry. Also, it helped me on building the solid thinking process on how I would like to think AI and apply to my own business. It led to capstone project where solid project idea, where I was able to articulate and discuss with my manager....
