AI strategy has become a leadership requirement — not a technical specialization. The AI Strategist Certification (Foundation Level) is a full-day, in-person program designed for executives, senior leaders, and strategy professionals who want a structured, practical approach to building AI strategy for their organizations.

This certification is designed for CEOs and executive leaders; strategy, innovation, and transformation leaders; CIOs, CTOs, CDOs, and other digital leaders; as well as consultants and advisors working with enterprise clients—no technical background is required, as it is a strategy-first certification.
