26PDAFIB - AI for Impact: AI for Executives
Course Description
Designed for all levels, the AI for Impact program provides targeted training for executives (strategy + governance), practitioners (implementation) and teams (shared AI fluency). We aim to provide quality workforce training led by industry experts to individuals and teams at all levels of AI background and responsibility. Utilizing prioritization tools, governance playbooks and real-world case workshops, students gain applied skills in an outcomes-driven classroom.
AI for Executives (Immersive) is a one-day, in-person experience designed for decision-makers who need a practical, no-hype understanding of AI and how it creates real value inside established organizations. Rather than focusing on theory alone, this course addresses the realities executives face when moving from experimentation to execution: building buy-in, aligning stakeholders, managing data governance and risk, and understanding the true costs and tradeoffs of scaling AI responsibly.
Through interactive discussion, real-world case examples, and executive-level decision frameworks, participants learn how to evaluate AI opportunities, assess organizational readiness, and set realistic expectations for outcomes, timelines, and investment. The day also includes a clear overview of core AI/ML concepts and today’s leading platforms, as well as the ethical and policy considerations leaders must manage. Executives leave aligned around a shared vocabulary and equipped with actionable guidance for leading AI adoption with confidence.
