AI Foundations for Decision-Makers
Establish the conceptual bedrock every non-technical leader needs before making any AI decision. Learners leave with a confident, accurate mental model of what AI is, how the landscape is organized, and how models actually learn — eliminating the misconceptions that derail leadership judgment throughout the rest of the course.
- 1.1What AI Really Is (and Isn't)Included
- 1.2The AI Landscape: Tools, Types, and TerminologyIncluded
- 1.3How AI Models Learn: A Manager's Mental ModelIncluded
Spotting and Sizing AI Opportunities
Translate the foundational knowledge from Module 1 into a repeatable process for finding, filtering, and quantifying AI opportunities inside a real department. Learners leave with a prioritized opportunity map and the skeleton of a business case — directly targeting the 'identify high-ROI use cases' and 'build a credible business case' outcomes.
- 2.1Where AI Creates Real Business ValueIncluded
- 2.2Building a Business Case for AIIncluded
- 2.3When NOT to Use AIIncluded
Evaluating AI Tools and Vendors
Apply a rigorous, non-technical framework to assess, compare, and select AI tools and vendors — and then validate the choice through a structured pilot before committing. Learners leave with a completed vendor scorecard and a pilot design they can deploy immediately.
- 3.1The Non-Technical Vendor Evaluation FrameworkIncluded
- 3.2Running a Meaningful AI PilotIncluded
- 3.3Build, Buy, or Partner: The Strategic DecisionIncluded
AI Risk, Ethics, and Governance
Equip leaders to proactively identify, assess, and govern the full spectrum of AI risks — from data quality and model drift to bias, regulatory exposure, and organizational liability — before they become costly failures. This module directly targets the 'spot AI project risks' outcome and provides the governance vocabulary needed for cross-functional leadership.
- 4.1AI Risks Every Leader Must KnowIncluded
- 4.2Bias, Fairness, and Responsible AIIncluded
- 4.3Governance Structures and Oversight ModelsIncluded
Communicating AI Across the Organization
Develop the communication repertoire to translate AI concepts, project status, and risk accurately and persuasively — upward to executives, laterally to peers, and downward to technical teams. This module also addresses the human side of AI adoption: resistance, anxiety, and the change management skills that separate leaders who get AI deployed from those who don't.
- 5.1Translating AI for Executive AudiencesIncluded
- 5.2Building Credibility with Technical TeamsIncluded
- 5.3Managing Change and AdoptionIncluded
Building and Leading Your AI Roadmap
Synthesize everything from the course into a concrete, owned, and defensible AI adoption roadmap — complete with milestones, accountabilities, success metrics, and a sustainability plan. The capstone module ensures learners leave with an artifact they can present to leadership on day one back at work.
- 6.1Designing Your AI Adoption RoadmapIncluded
- 6.2Measuring AI Success: KPIs and Metrics That MatterIncluded
- 6.3Sustaining Momentum and Scaling AI Across the OrganizationIncluded
Who it's for
Is this you?
The Newly Accountable Director
Just handed ownership of an AI initiative without a technical background, they need frameworks fast to lead credibly from day one.
The Skeptical VP
Tired of vendor hype and buzzword-heavy pitches, they want a structured way to evaluate AI claims and make defensible investment decisions.
The Operations Manager
Sees clear inefficiencies AI could fix in their department but needs help building a business case and identifying where to start.
The C-Suite Communicator
Responsible for reporting AI project progress to the board, they need the vocabulary and frameworks to translate technical realities into executive language.
The Governance-Minded Leader
Concerned about AI risk, bias, and accountability, they want a clear governance model before anything gets deployed at scale.
The Cross-Functional Project Lead
Managing a mixed team of engineers, analysts, and business stakeholders, they need the authority and vocabulary to keep everyone aligned and moving.

Dr. J Sebaaly
If you're reading this, chances are you've found yourself in a familiar position: sitting in a room where AI is being discussed, expected to weigh in — maybe even to lead — but feeling like the conversation is happening in a language you were never taught. The technical team is confident. The vendors are persuasive. And you're expected to make smart decisions about something that feels, honestly, a little opaque.
That gap isn't a reflection of your ability. It's a reflection of how AI has been taught — almost exclusively to engineers, almost never to the leaders who actually have to make the calls. That's the problem this school exists to solve.
What I've built here is not an AI literacy course. It's a leadership operating system for the AI era. You'll learn how AI models work — but only at the level that sharpens your judgment, not the level that turns you into a developer. You'll learn to evaluate vendors without being dazzled by demos, identify where AI actually creates business value in your specific context, and build a business case that holds up to scrutiny. You'll learn when not to use AI — which, in my view, is one of the most important skills a leader can have right now.
I've also made sure this school goes deep on the parts that get skipped: risk, bias, governance, and the human side of change management. Because the leaders I most respect aren't the ones who greenlight AI projects fastest — they're the ones who ask better questions, catch the failure modes early, and bring their organizations along with them.
Here's what I want you to know: you don't need to earn your seat at the AI table by learning to code. You earn it by leading well — with clear frameworks, sharp communication, and the confidence to challenge assumptions, including the ones coming from your own technical teams. That's exactly what this school teaches.
If you're ready to stop nodding along and start driving the conversation, this is where we start.
