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.

How to Assess Where to Apply AI

Length: 30-45 minutes

Purpose: Stop the proliferation of low-impact AI pilots and focus capital on initiatives that can scale into meaningful value.

Overview:
  • Introduces a four-factor evaluation framework: value impact, data readiness, cultural readiness, and execution feasibility

  • Demonstrates how to score and rank opportunities to separate transformational initiatives from marginal improvements

  • Uses examples showing successful prioritization and the cost of pursuing too many low-value experiments

  • Provides a repeatable process for portfolio management of AI initiatives

Key Takeaways:
  • A four-factor prioritization grid (value impact, data readiness, cultural readiness, execution feasibility) you can use in the next board meeting

  • Clarity on which opportunities deliver quick wins vs. which require multi-year commitment

  • A repeatable process for saying "no" to attractive-but-unfeasible projects
