Artificial intelligence (AI) has advanced from an unknown force to a universally recognized opportunity. With its innovative potential for business and society no longer being predicted but rather realized, business leaders need to attain a practical grounding in AI and its business applications, in order to efficiently take advantage of it and navigate the challenges associated with its implementation.
This program equips you with the knowledge needed to transform your organization into an innovative, efficient, and sustainable business of the future.
Through an engaging mix of key technologies, business insights, case examples, and your own business-focused project, you’ll explore the reality of central AI technologies and how they can be harnessed to support your business needs. Focusing on machine learning, natural language processing, and robotics, the program helps you understand the implications of these AI technologies for business strategy, as well as the economic, societal, and business implementation issues they raise. Additionally, the course will emphasize how the collective intelligence of people and computers together can solve business problems that not long ago were considered impossible.
Gain a practical introduction to these key AI technologies and their business implications, equipping you with the knowledge and confidence to transform your organization by converting uncertainties regarding AI into impactful opportunities for business growth. The program does not assume any particular technological background — you’ll focus on the organizational and managerial implications of these technologies and how they can be applied in the workplace, rather than on their technical dimensions.
Gain a key element of the course will be an individual project where you develop a plan for how AI could be used in your own organization or some other business context of your choice.

We all operate in an increasingly complex commercial and professional environment that requires us to negotiate on a daily basis not only with customers, clients, suppliers and contractor, but also with managers, fellow employees and colleagues within our own organisation.
‘Mastering Negotiation Skills’ is a five-day course designed to explain the negotiation process in detail and demonstrate how to use it effectively, giving delegates the negotiation skills and strategies they need to succeed in today’s challenging commercial environment.
The ability to negotiate effectively and manage conflict is one of the most valuable skill sets we can develop within our organization.

This course provides both a comprehensive strategic analysis of the negotiation process as well as the essential tools for planning and managing every negotiation. Delegates will learn to negotiate excellent outcomes both externally with suppliers, contractors, and customers but also internally within your organization between colleagues, departments, and managers.
