AI-Native HR Leader : 5-Week AI Certification Program for HR Leaders
Aarti Mudaliar
ex Head - Talent | Novartis | GSK | NYU
5-WEEK LIVE AI CERTIFICATION · No code · Be the HR leader your CEO calls on AI
Your biggest time drains haven't moved: a messy Excel report to clean, the same summary rebuilt for each leader, and people you still chase to finish their step. You've watched the tutorials and started the self-paced courses. Your week looks the same.
The AI-Native HR Leader is a 5-week live certification where you put AI to work on that list, in Claude and in Copilot side by side, so you use whichever your company allows. No code. Every live build starts on practice data from a made-up company, so no employee data goes into a tool unless your company allows it. Then you build on one HR task of your own and show it running at Demo Day.
What you walk away with:
A recruiting dashboard from five messy files, saved as a skill you can rerun
A Chief of Staff agent that drafts your daily brief and waits for your approval
A 2027 headcount plan in three scenarios, a model you can rerun on your data
The one-page governance record your General Counsel will ask for
Your own HR task running on your own work, and a recording of it to share
Taught by Aarti Mudaliar: 18 years in HR at Novartis and GSK, and a mechanical engineer by training who builds what she teaches.
What you’ll learn
Put AI to work on the HR tasks that eat your week, in Claude and Copilot, with no code. Then show your own build running live at Demo Day.
Know why AI makes things up and where it goes wrong, so you can tell when not to trust an answer before it reaches a leader
Tell a task, a workflow and an agent apart, so you can choose the one HR process worth building on your own work for five weeks
Rewrite one weak prompt for your own HR task and run it in Claude and in Copilot Chat side by side, so you see which does the job
Give AI the right context with Projects, Skills and Connectors, so it works from your own files and policies instead of guessing
Turn five messy recruiting files into a leadership dashboard in Claude, then in Copilot in Excel, so you can do it on your own files
Save your method as a skill you can rerun each month, and build version 1 of your own HR task so you bring it to the Q&A clinic
Build a Chief of Staff agent in Claude Cowork on a practice account that drafts your daily brief on a schedule and waits for approval
Build one agent in Copilot Agent Builder and one in Copilot Studio, so you know what each does and exactly what to ask IT for
Turn your own HR task into an agent with guardrails for bias, confidentiality and accountability, so it is safe to use from day one
Forecast 2027 headcount under three scenarios and build a five-slide CHRO deck, so you can run the same plan on your own data
Try to break your agent on purpose and fix it, so you can hand your General Counsel a one-page governance record they will accept
Work out what your build is worth in hours given back each month, the number that makes the case to your manager and budget holder
Show your own build running live at Demo Day, so you leave with proof it works and a short recording of it to share with your CEO
Watch other HR leaders demo what they built, so you leave with tested ideas for your next build from peers in other HR functions
Leave with your 90-day plan: what to build and learn next on your own HR work, so it keeps going after the last session ends
