Leading AI-driven Business Transformation

This course is delivered in person over 3 full days from 2–4 June, followed by a 2-hour online drop-in session on 18 June.

AI is moving fast, but many organisations still struggle to turn ambition into measurable results. This microcredential is built for C-suite leaders and SME directors who want to turn AI into measurable business transformation – and reclaim time in the process – without needing to code or build models.

Across three intensive days, you’ll cut through the noise around AI and Generative AI, learn what works in real organisations, and see practical examples of how leaders use AI to do more in less time. You’ll explore real SME case studies, identify high-impact opportunities, and take a hands-on approach to implementation through simple agent building, workflow automation, and rapid experimentation methods such as A/B testing.

Core themes include:

- GenAI in real business contexts
- AI transformation across people, processes, and value creation
- Readiness assessment (data, culture, skills, leadership)
- Use-case identification and prioritisation
- A/B testing and experimentation for new ideas
- Automation of repetitive tasks
- Measuring productivity gains and ROI

You’ll learn how to automate low-value tasks so teams can focus on the work that truly drives growth, and how to measure impact, manage risk, and scale what works. You’ll leave with a clear AI adoption and scaling roadmap tailored to your organisation.

Upon successful completion of the course you will gain 10 credits which can be built towards a Postgraduate Certificate in Leadership and Management Practice. This course is run in conjunction with Nottingham Business School - Nottingham Trent University.
