This unit introduces the forces that maintain the status quo and the organizational and business benefits of adopting artificial intelligence, while highlighting risks, leadership narratives, and pathways to executive influence. Students will learn a practical framework for assessing opportunities, designing early AI initiatives, and planning a professional transition toward AI-informed leadership.
Learning Objectives
- Analyze sources of organizational inertia and growth barriers described in the unit to identify opportunities and constraints for AI-enabled change
- Evaluate organizational and business benefits versus risks (including governance concerns such as the “rogue executive”) to prioritize AI initiatives that align with strategic goals
- Apply the unit’s implementation framework to develop a concise, stakeholder-aware plan specifying objectives, milestones, resources, and success metrics where “rubber meets the road”
- Demonstrate a personal leadership transition plan that maps formative experiences, required skill development, and actionable steps to prepare for C-suite or executive roles in AI-driven contexts
