Course Description
This two-day workshop equips managers and leaders with the practical skills to manage and integrate generative AI within their teams. Rather than focusing on any single tool, the course builds a leadership toolkit: how to evaluate where AI genuinely helps a team's work, how to set expectations and guardrails, how to support employees through the change, and how to measure whether adoption is actually working. Participants leave with a concrete plan for their own team.
