AI in 60 Minutes: What Every Leader Should Know

“This course contains the use of artificial intelligence(AI).”

In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer a futuristic concept—it is a strategic necessity for every business leader. This course, AI in 60 Minutes: What Every Leader Should Know, is designed for executives, managers, and decision-makers who want to quickly understand the fundamentals of AI, its business impact, and the leadership strategies required to thrive in the AI era. Unlike highly technical trainings, this program offers a clear, non-technical introduction to AI that focuses exclusively on what leaders need to know to make smarter decisions.

Over the course of just one hour, you will gain a practical understanding of how AI transforms industries, reshapes business strategy, and creates new opportunities for competitive advantage. We will break down key concepts such as machine learning, generative AI, and automation, using simple analogies and real-world case studies. By the end of this course, you’ll have the language, confidence, and insight to lead informed conversations about AI adoption, AI strategy, and AI ethics within your organization.

The course is structured into six short, powerful modules. You’ll begin by demystifying AI basics—separating fact from hype—before moving into the business value of AI, including how leading companies use AI to drive innovation, scale, and productivity. From there, you’ll explore enterprise applications of AI across HR, marketing, operations, and finance, gaining clarity on how these technologies are already reshaping everyday business functions.

We’ll also address one of the most critical areas for executives: AI governance and ethics. As global regulations tighten and public trust becomes essential, leaders must understand the risks of AI bias, fairness, and privacy. You’ll learn the principles of responsible AI leadership and how to apply them in your organization.

Beyond technology, this course highlights the future of work and the changing role of leaders in an AI-driven world. You’ll see how human + AI collaboration enhances decision-making, how workplace cultures must evolve, and how leaders can manage both opportunities and resistance when introducing AI-driven change.

Finally, we close with the AI Leader’s Playbook—a practical guide to asking the right questions, evaluating AI readiness, and framing a compelling AI vision for your board, investors, and stakeholders.

Whether you are a CEO, senior executive, entrepreneur, or team leader, this course will give you the clarity and strategic perspective you need. In just 60 minutes, you’ll move from uncertainty to confidence, equipped with the knowledge to guide your organization into the AI future.
