Transformational AI & Business Strategy
Use AI to manage, lead, and solve complex business problems.
Today, more than ever, the world of business is being transformed by the promise of artificial intelligence, the ubiquity of data, and the application of advanced analytics. This program provides an integrated view of business and technology and prepares senior executive participants to manage, lead, and solve complex business problems using cutting-edge AI technology.
As AI proliferates business strategy, leaders from all domains – whether marketing, human resources, finance, or technology – must be ready to implement a comprehensive AI strategy. Business leaders must be able to separate the hype of AI from the business reality, deciding which AI projects have the potential to deliver transformational results and are worthy of investment. In this program, gain a fundamental understanding of AI technology and how to harness it in a strategic way.
This immersive program offers participants an opportunity to learn from Carnegie Mellon’s world-renowned faculty, equipping senior leaders with the knowledge for integrating artificial intelligence into their strategic business plans. Participants gain exposure to the wide array of artificial intelligence technologies, from machine learning, natural language processing, predictive analytics, and prescriptive analytics; discover how to ensure the data your organization already collects is ready for AI-applications; prepare their teams for technological transformation and receive recommendations on how to upskill their workforce to prepare for changes in technology; build an understanding of AI’s current capabilities as well as its future potential and potential drawbacks, including ethical concerns; and examine your overall business strategy to adopt AI transformation for ongoing sustainability and success.
