AI for Business Leaders is a six-week strategy course for Nigerian executives, founders, managers and board members. It assumes you have completed AI Foundations and AI Tools for Work; this course is about the decisions only the leader can make. You will learn how to evaluate AI vendors and avoid the procurement traps, how to build an AI strategy that survives the next three years, how to govern AI in an organisation operating under the Nigeria Data Protection Act and the National AI Strategy, how to lead the change in talent, culture and performance management that AI demands, and how to actually measure whether the AI investment is paying back.
Prerequisites: AI Foundations (AIF-101) and AI Tools for Work (AITW-101), or equivalent practical understanding.
By the end of this course you will be able to:
- Evaluate AI vendors and procurement proposals with confidence.
- Design and pressure-test an AI strategy and roadmap for your organisation.
- Build the governance and risk framework that satisfies the NDPA, the NAIS, and your board.
- Lead the talent, culture and performance changes that determine whether AI investment actually pays off.
- Measure ROI in a way that captures both visible productivity gains and the harder-to-see value.
