AI Literacy for Business Analysts

AI usage, productivity, and implementation risk often come from poor assumptions about what AI can and cannot do. It also stems from poor analysis and organizational dynamics in which stakeholders ask for solutions that are either too specific or too generic, and pressure teams to deliver them, rather than solving real problems.Analysis professionals have a huge role in this dynamic that can change everything!Analysts are increasingly expected to participate in AI decisions, yet most training focuses on tools or stays abstract. This course fills the gap in understanding AI capabilities: Not from a technical point of view, but from a capability point of view; business uses and patterns of functional usage.You will build a grounded understanding of AI capabilities, limits, and failure modes, and learn how requirements shift toward hypotheses, experiments, and continuous outcomes in AI-enabled work.This course explores the skills of:🎯 Identifying the right AI use cases for specific business scenarios🎯 Distinguishing between deterministic and probabilistic systems and deciding where each should be applied in a workflow🎯 Questioning and communicating AI use case fit and risks

You use AI every day at work, and you have started to feel the cost. It invents facts you have to catch, flattens your writing into the same grey voice everyone else is using, agrees with whatever you say, and quietly erodes the skills you are actually paid for. The hard part now is knowing when to believe what it gives you.AI is in the room for almost every professional decision, and the advice has not kept up. Most of it teaches you to prompt faster. None of it teaches you to judge what comes back.This course builds that judgement. Over four live sessions, taught through the humanities by a Full Professor of Critical AI Literacy, you learn to spot the four moves AI makes on you, name the hidden costs behind a confident answer, protect the skills you cannot afford to lose, and decide, every time, when to use AI and when to leave it alone.You practise on the work you actually do, running each method on your own AI tools, grounded in recent peer-reviewed research, alongside a cohort working through it with you. You leave with critical faculties you will use for the rest of your career.

Knowing when to trust AI is a skill. This is where you build it.

Catch AI fooling you before you act on it.

Protect the skills your work depends on.

Decide when to use AI and when to leave it alone.

A professional who uses AI daily for work, has started to quietly distrust it, and wants the judgement to know when to rely on it.

An educator or researcher who needs to think clearly about AI for their teaching, writing and students, beyond another list of prompts.

A manager, founder or team lead deciding how AI enters their team, who needs the judgement to govern it and explain it to others.

Turn AI experimentation into value for you, your team, and your organization.

Leading in the Age of AI: Founding Workshop

Leading in the age of AI requires moving beyond basic tool awareness and isolated experimentation. It means knowing how to make AI work for you, your team, and your organization in ways that solve meaningful problems and generate measurable results.This practical four-hour workshop will help you make AI work for you, your team, and your organization, apply it to a real challenge, and leave with a practical action plan. You will explore AI augmentation through three essential leadership lenses:<h3>Lead Yourself More Effectively</h3>Use AI as a strategic thinking partner to strengthen your planning, decision-making, communication, problem-solving, and productivity.<h3>Lead Your Team Differently</h3>Determine how workflows may need to evolve, what should be automated, augmented, or remain human, and how to guide your team through AI adoption with clarity, trust, and accountability.<h3>Lead the Organization Forward</h3>Connect AI directly to a core business priority, whether that is expanding capacity, supporting growth, improving customer experience, strengthening decision-making, or reducing operational bottlenecks.

Learn to apply AI across your leadership, team workflows, and business priorities to solve meaningful problems and create measurable value.

The news about the economy is depressing. Layoffs are a constant threat, even with strong performance reviews. Hybrid human agent teams are now a thing. The job market is frozen.How do you operate like a leader before someone gives you the title? Output might help you keep your job. Preparation gets you promoted. At risk if unsolved: the next promotion. The reliable operator who is perpetually “not quite ready” every cycle — while a systematically prepared peer becomes the obvious choice.Already tried: prompt collections, AI-tips newsletters, tool subscriptions. Didn't work because no recurring trigger. The habit never survived the 3rd Monday.Managers &amp; senior ICs who already use AI daily are discovering it hasn't changed how they lead: AI usage is now table stakes, so the career edge has moved to whoever runs a system.In one hands-on half-day, you'll build a personal AI Leadership Operating System on your real week — a context file, three engines, and a 30-minute Monday ritual that leaves as a scheduled habit, not notes. Unlike videos or prompt libraries, you get live feedback on your real material until it works — the ritual is on your calendar before the room closes.

How to use Claude, ChatGPT, etc. to create your own complete Personal Leadership Operating System on your own real work week in real time.  

•	Build and deploy a one-page personal context file 

•	Run the 1:1 Prep Engine on your own real calendar 

•	Define your 3 standing risk categories 

•	Extract every commitment from a week of meeting notes — owed and owed-to

Leave with 6 actionable artifacts that turn the lesson into a  weekly habit, 

We will be using a chatbot to build your personal operating system in real time. 

Basic familiarity with a Frontier chatbot.
