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.

What Is Value — and How AI Actually Adds It

Length: 30-45 minutes

Purpose: Replace vague "AI value" conversations with a rigorous framework that ties every initiative to revenue, margin, or risk reduction.

Overview:
  • Defines enterprise value in operational terms: revenue expansion, margin improvement, and resilience/risk reduction

  • Explains how AI amplifies existing business systems rather than creating value in isolation

  • Examines real examples showing which AI applications move which value levers—and by how much

  • Equips boards to challenge initiatives that can't demonstrate a clear link to at least one value driver

Key Takeaways:
  • A simple, shared definition of value for board-level decisions

  • A framework for mapping AI use cases to the three value levers

  • The ability to separate strategic investments from shiny-object distractions

  • A challenge question to ask management: "Which lever does this move, and by how much?"
