The programme is designed around focused monthly training days, with support, accountability and practical implementation work in between. Leaders work on real business priorities, identify where AI can create value, and build confidence using AI in a way that supports growth, productivity and better decision-making.
Depending on the cohort, the programme may be delivered in person, online or through a blended format.
