Launching the New Micro-credential Course in October 2024: Emerging Technologies and AI for Leaders

Understanding how to design and deliver digital solutions is a key pillar in an organization’s digital transformation, but many leaders are unclear as to what technologies will be required or how to go about decision-making. Recognizing this gap, the new 7-week micro-credential course: ” Emerging Technologies and AI for Leaders” was developed as the first initiative in the partnership. The first offering is set to run Wednesday mornings from October 16 to November 27.

This course introduces leaders and decision-makers to “the art of the possible” by exploring how organizations can transform their performance through digital solutions. Providing a framework for innovation through emerging technologies and artificial intelligence (AI), leaders will gain the tools required to utilize digital solutions to build unique competitive advantages in their organizations.

Course Highlights:

• Understanding Digital Solutions: Participants will explore the critical components of digital technologies and learn the frameworks for designing and implementing digital solutions effectively.
