Tier 2 — Workshops & Capability Building
AI Leadership Workshop
A workshop for executives and department heads who need to make AI decisions — not build AI systems. Learn what to prioritise, what to question, and how to evaluate proposals that land on your desk.
Programme Overview
What this covers
- How to evaluate AI use cases for genuine business value
- Common AI adoption failure patterns, and how to avoid them
- Data and organisational readiness — what leaders need to check for
- Building an internal AI governance approach
Who it's for
CEOs, MDs, and department heads who need to make or approve AI-related decisions, without needing to become technologists themselves.
Why Your Team Needs This
Most AI budgets are approved or rejected by people who aren't equipped to evaluate them technically. This workshop gives decision-makers a repeatable way to separate genuine AI opportunity from vendor pitch — without needing an engineering background.
Learning Objectives

- Recognise the difference between a genuine AI use case and a vendor pitch.
- Apply a simple framework to evaluate AI proposals.
