Course Overview

The constraint on return on AI investment is rarely the model or the platform — it is the data and the operating discipline behind it. The distance between a working prototype of AI investment and a system the business can depend on is where most budgets disappear. Sessions alternate between guided analysis of the wider digital and data-driven work agenda and supervised application. The outcome is a practitioner who can hold a position on return on AI investment and revise it on evidence. It is pitched for practitioners with responsibility for this area of digital and data-driven work, not for observers of it. Teams frequently over-invest in documenting AI investment and under-invest in testing it. It concentrates on the parts of return on AI investment that determine outcomes and treats the rest proportionately. Mature organisations treat AI investment as a standing capability rather than a project that finishes. The final session converts the week's work on this part of digital and data-driven work into commitments with owners and dates.
