Course overview
Every leadership team is being asked what its AI plan is. This course gives leaders a clear, practical way to answer: what AI can do today, where it creates the most value for your organisation, and what it takes to adopt it well.
The day is built around your decisions rather than technology. You map opportunities across your organisation, prioritise them by value and risk, look at the choices between off-the-shelf tools such as Copilot and more tailored solutions, and outline the skills, governance and measures that make adoption stick.
You finish with a one-page AI plan for your area: priorities, first pilots, guardrails and the support your people will need. Private sessions for a whole leadership team are especially effective, because the plan is agreed in the room.

I had a good experience with this Microsoft Excel training course! Mark the trainer was exceptionally knowledgeable, patient, and engaging, taking the time to explain complex functions and formulas in a way that was easy to understand. The pace of the class was well-managed, and there was plenty of opportunity to ask questions without feeling rushed. I left the session feeling much more confident, efficient, and equipped with time-saving shortcuts. Highly recommended for anyone looking to upgrade their spreadsheet skills!
good value for money, I understood notions that were very not clear to me. Thanks to Mark.
Very good communication and an excellent tutor.
Very happy with Mark's training ethos and training he provided.
Excellent course and really well presented. Starting from basic knowledge the course guided you through step by step and was well paced for all.
Really enjoyed the course. Tutor was knowledgeable, friendly and gave real-world, practical advice to get the most out of the training.
The trainer really tailored the course to our needs, encouraged us to ask questions, and was knowledgeable and really helpful.
The trainer was very patient and did not mind having to explain things a few times to make sure we were all on the same page, was very helpful for someone like myself who sometimes misses details on the first go around
Excellent trainer, the format of the training was fantastic and I got a lot from the course.
This was, by far, one of the best training courses I have had the pleasure of attending. The trainer was extremely knowledgeable and delivered a great course!
This was the first time I have joined an excel course and I found it very informative and very helpful.
I liked how the trainer tailored the training around what our needs and roles are.
A great pace for somebody just starting and never an issue with questions, and always had a good way of answering.
From knowing nothing to what I know now and in less than a day I would highly recommend as it was extremely useful, and has made my understanding of MP a 100x better. Thank you the trainer for the great lesson!
Excellent course, definitely the best 'power' course I have attended. The trainer was enthusiastic about the material and kept it relevant to our needs
The trainer was really knowledgeable and extremely helpful in helping us to build our own reports.
It was very productive as a working session. I learnt a lot.
His careful delivery of the course really made the difference not only in its usefulness but in how well we, as learners, will retain and apply this new information.

Frequently asked questions
Is this a technical course?+
No. It is written for leaders and focuses on decisions, priorities and people, with live demonstrations so you can see what the tools do.
How is this different from AI for Managers?+
AI for Managers helps team leaders adopt AI in their own team's work. AI Strategy for Leaders is about direction for a whole function or organisation: where to invest, which guardrails to set and how to lead adoption at scale.
Can we run it for our whole leadership team?+
Yes, and we recommend it. A private session lets your team agree priorities and a shared plan together.
Does it cover regulation?+
It gives leaders an overview of their responsibilities, including staff AI literacy. It is training, not legal advice, and we recommend a qualified adviser for specific legal questions.
How is the course delivered?+
Live with an instructor, in a virtual classroom or at your offices.
