Build Your AI Business Case

Beyond Tools. Beyond Theory. Catered to You

⭐️ This course is about you and your company.

Your company wants you to "adopt AI," but nobody tells you how to evaluate tools, quantify the risk, or defend your recommendations. Most AI courses teach tools. But tools change. This course teaches you how to build your own business case.

⭐️ Everything you learn will be based on your company's real business needs.

We can also work together to create a case that closely matches your needs. We'll move beyond theory and apply artificial intelligence to your company's products and services.

⭐️ You are the focus

This course is not a funnel to other products and services. I'm your impartial guide for any products from Google, Microsoft, OpenAI, Meta, Anthropic or others. I am an instructor and not a promoter of AI. You'll use whatever fits best for your business case.

What you’ll learn

Walk out with a ready-to-present AI business case built on your company's real needs.

  • Explain AI, machine learning, deep learning, and generative AI to stakeholders in business language

  • Distinguish between AI hype and real tools that actually solve your company's problems

  • Identify which AI capabilities map to your specific needs

  • Evaluate AI tools and vendors against your actual requirements

  • Write a clear problem statement that connects your business need to an AI solution

  • Match the right AI service to the right business problem without over-investing or locking-in

  • Quantify the risks, costs, and trade-offs of your AI initiative before you make a pitch

  • Build contingency plans that let you pivot without losing direction

  • Stress-test your business case against leadership questions

  • Present and defend your AI business case to leadership, finance, and technical teams

  • Build a flexible roadmap that adapts as AI tools change

  • Leave the course with a polished, battle-hardened business case for your company
