Overview

Leaders are expected to make decisions about AI, often after a single demo or a vague internal briefing. This day gives senior decision-makers a practical grounding so they can lead, not guess. The recommended prerequisite to our Strategic AI flagship.

What this course covers

  • The four categories of AI tools (chatbots, specialist tools, embedded AI, super-tools)
  • A practical tour of the current AI tool landscape, with live demos
  • Where generative AI excels, and where it still fails
  • The practical AI skills every leader needs (prompting, workflow design, data literacy, governance)
  • Hands-on RTCCO prompting for leadership work
  • Hallucinations, bias and how to mitigate them
  • Shadow AI: what your team is really using

What participants will need

  • A senior leadership or decision-making role
  • Real organisational context to bring into discussion
  • No technical background required
  • No specific tools or accounts required in advance

Who it’s for

  • Senior leaders expected to set AI direction
  • Executives preparing for deeper strategic work
  • Leadership teams wanting shared judgement and shared language
  • Anyone making AI decisions after only a demo and a hunch

By the end

  • Sharper judgement on what AI is good at, and what it isn’t
  • Confidence to lead AI conversations without leaning on hype
  • Awareness of the governance questions that matter
  • The right mental models for responsible leadership

Why TrainAI exists

TrainAI was built by Heather Murray – BBC and UK government AI advisor, regularly featured in Forbes, and founder of AI for Non-Techies.

After years of delivering AI training to organisations like Johnson & Johnson, GSK, Toyota, and the House of Lords, she kept hearing the same thing from other trainers: “I know AI matters, but I don’t have the time or the confidence to build courses from scratch.”
