AI for managers

Driving smart innovation

Brightlands AI Academy is now introducing a new master class: AI for Managers.

This management track is specially designed for directors and management within (large) SMEs in Limburg. Discover the strategic opportunities and threats of artificial intelligence (AI) for your organization and accelerate the adoption process for AI applications in 2 evenings with this intensive training.

As AI Academy, we have noticed that the need for AI knowledge is growing among directors and management, but that they often do not have the time for a comprehensive course like the Brightlands AI Academy. The new learning program 'AI for Managers' offers a solution, as managers get 'up to speed' in just two evenings and thus learn concrete steps for steering when implementing AI applications.

In order to offer participants more added value and allow their case to mature faster, we deploy JADS' Data Science Project Canvas. This model forms the common foundation for lessons and coaching to give participants a structured framework for developing AI models and business cases.

Tuesday, April 23: Introduction, opportunities and threats

The first evening includes an introduction of AI as a game changer for many existing business models, substantiated by real-world examples. Opportunities and threats for the organizations present will then be identified. Each manager will share ideas for adopting AI within their own organization. A basis is also laid for getting started with the Data Science Project Canvas at home for such an idea.

Homework

Give hands on your own idea for an AI application using the Data Science Project Canvas. This will be submitted to AI Academy coaches, who will analyze the ideas and provide feedback.

Tuesday, May 14: Reflection and deepening

During the second evening, the completed Data Science Project Canvases will be discussed in order to arrive at strategic options and lines of thought for one's own organization. Here the interaction between participants is of great added value. The groups are relatively small to stimulate interaction. Content interpretation is provided by AI experts from the field. The evening concludes with concrete steps to move forward with AI within the company.

For whom?

The master class is intended for directors and managers within the (large) SME.

When?

On Tuesday, April 23 and Tuesday, May 14 from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the latest. There is a four-week period between the two evenings. For an optimal learning curve, it is recommended that you spend time and energy in the interim completing the Data Science Project Canvas.

Where:

Villa Flora, Brightlands Greenport Campus in Venlo.

Costs

The cost of participation in AI for Managers is €849 per person.
