AI and Critical Thinking for Business Leaders

Course Overview

Artificial Intelligence is transforming how organisations make decisions, analyse information, and develop strategy. While AI offers powerful capabilities, business leaders must be able to critically assess AI-generated insights, challenge assumptions, and make informed decisions that align with organisational goals.

This practical one-day virtual programme equips business leaders with the critical thinking skills required to effectively evaluate, interpret, and apply AI within a business context. Participants will explore how AI influences decision-making, learn how to identify risks and limitations, and develop frameworks for combining human judgement with AI-driven intelligence.

By the end of the programme, attendees will have a clearer understanding of how to use AI as a strategic business tool while maintaining sound judgement, accountability, and leadership oversight.
