Suits managers, executives and public sector leaders who must decide whether and how their organisation adopts AI. What stands out is the capstone: a readiness assessment and roadmap built on the learner's own organisation. The main caveat is cost: £10,000 for the January 2027 start, and the course is non-credit-bearing. A cheaper, shorter option is the AI Leadership programme from Warwick Business School at £3,070, though it is taught in person.
