Micro-Courses

These micro-courses are designed for boards and C-suite leaders of growth-stage and PE-backed companies who need practical, board-level and C-Suite insight on AI, strategy, and value creation. Each session runs 30–60 minutes, making it ideal for a board meeting slot or an executive off-site briefing. Remote delivery is recommended for flexibility and speed, but in-person sessions are available on request. The fee is $250 per course, and we also offer customized courses tailored to your organization’s specific challenges.
