The interactive Strategic Decision Making in the Age of AI course provides leaders with a structured, practical approach to making better decisions in complex and fast-moving environments. You will learn how to differentiate between types of decisions, frame problems more effectively, and apply disciplined thinking to reduce bias and improve clarity. Through hands-on application and a “learn, try, reflect” format, you will also explore how to incorporate AI as a thinking partner—enhancing insight while maintaining strong human judgment. This course will help you to:

Diagnose and classify decisions effectively, determining when speed, careful analysis, or deeper deliberation is required
Frame problems with greater clarity, using structured tools to distinguish between risk, uncertainty, and ambiguity
Apply practical frameworks and tools—including stakeholder analysis, bias mitigation techniques, and after-action reviews—to improve decision quality and execution across your organization

What you will learn
