HR Leader, AI in HR Strategist

From Uncertain Experimenter to Confident AI Champion

AI is transforming HR but most teams are still stuck experimenting.

In 2024, we engaged with 2,500+ HR professionals and found that while 65% are exploring AI, only 13% have integrated it into workflows, and just 2% are driving measurable transformation.

This 7-week, hands-on program closes that gap. Designed by HR leaders for HR leaders, it helps you move from curiosity to capability—building real AI prototypes, mastering compliant prompt frameworks, and designing safe, scalable workflows using tools like ChatGPT, Copilot, and Claude- even within your own Microsoft or other enterprise workspace.

Each week blends live workshops, peer “shark tank” sessions, and executive deep-dives with CHROs and CPOs who’ve implemented AI successfully. By the end, you’ll walk away with a working HR solution, a 90-day rollout roadmap, and the confidence to lead AI adoption in your organization.

If you’re ready to save time, amplify impact, and position yourself as an AI-forward HR professional, this course is your launchpad.

What you’ll learn

Master proven AI frameworks to automate HR tasks, build ethical policies, and lead strategic implementation that drives measurable impact.

  • Learn to analyze your HR workflows through a assistance → automation → autonomy lens so you apply technology intentionally, not reactively

  • Assess your HR ecosystem and pinpoint 3–5 workflows that can be automated for efficiency, compliance, and better employee experience

  • Learn to design working HR automation flows and lightweight AI agents—using tools like ChatGPT, Claude, or within your enterprise workspace

  • Define clear functional requirements and interaction rules to build scalable, well-governed multi-agent HR systems.

  • Evaluate platforms through a compliance and risk lens—ensuring ethical use, data protection, and legal readiness from day one.

  • Use a structured evaluation framework to assess vendor security, accuracy, usability, and ROI before scaling solutions across HR processes.

  • Get peer and instructor feedback as you learn to communicate the ROI of your solution—building credibility and buy-in across the business.

  • Build leadership-ready narratives that connect automation outcomes to productivity, cost savings, and workforce transformation.

  • Walk away with a customized action plan, stakeholder map, and metrics to launch your AI pilot immediately after the course.

  • Present your roadmap in a peer “Shark Tank” review, gaining feedback from instructors & CHROs on scaling your solution, measuring adoption

Success stories

  • Before the course, our payroll process involved repetitive manual steps—creating pay-date folders, subfolders by country, and renaming templates. Using the workflow automation frameworks I learned, I built a no-code solution that now auto-creates payroll folders and templates across five countries. What used to take 90 minutes monthly now runs automatically, with 100% time savings and 98% fewer errors. It’s been a complete shift—from manual to managed automation

  • The most significant change in my thinking has been realizing the art of possibility that AI brings to HR. This course helped me overcome my fear of technology—I now find myself genuinely excited to explore code and understand how things work behind the scenes. What once felt intimidating now feels empowering. With AI, I’ve learned that anyone can bring their ideas to life, regardless of technical background. Most importantly, I’ve seen how these tools can be applied meaningfully in HR to solve real problems and create better experiences for people
