Strategic Decision Making in the Age of AI
How It Works
This in-person, two-day program is structured around a series of integrated modules that guide participants from understanding the types of decisions they face to executing them effectively. You will work through a practical “learn, try, reflect” format, applying tools such as decision classification, environmental scanning, structured problem framing, and stakeholder analysis to real challenges from your own work. The course also introduces a Human–AI decision approach, helping you determine how to combine data, technology, and judgment at each stage of the process. By the end, you will have a clear, repeatable roadmap for moving from problem definition to sound, actionable decisions. This course applies to the Strategy & Innovation, Excellence in Business, and Leadership certificates.
