Lead Agentic AI Strategy Without Needing to Become an AI Engineer

Agentic AI is moving organizations beyond copilots and chatbots toward systems that can plan, reason, use tools, coordinate workflows and execute multi-step business processes.

For leaders, the challenge is no longer simply understanding what AI can do. It is knowing where agentic AI can create measurable business value, which processes are ready for transformation, and how to govern deployment without being dependent on technical teams for every strategic decision.

This course gives business, product, technology and functional leaders a practical framework for making those decisions.

You will learn how to identify high-value agentic AI opportunities, distinguish genuine agentic use cases from AI hype, evaluate build-vs-buy choices, understand the architecture and economics at a leadership level, and assess critical issues around reliability, security, governance, human oversight and ROI.

Through enterprise examples and practical exercises, you will move from asking “Where can we use AI?” to defining a credible Agentic AI strategy, prioritizing initiatives and leading conversations with engineering teams, vendors and executive stakeholders.

No coding or deep AI expertise is required.
