Over the course of several months, you’ll build your AI expertise step by step and test new approaches directly in your project work. The latest developments are incorporated into the series so that you don’t get stuck with a snapshot of the current state of the field, but can instead contextualize new opportunities for your role as a project manager.
In the inspiration and hands-on sessions, you’ll work on real-world PM tasks and develop immediately actionable outcomes such as prompts, templates, draft communications, analytical approaches, and reusable tools. A workbook serves as a guiding thread throughout the entire series. During the concluding AI Lunch, you’ll reflect on your experiences, clarify any open questions, and solidify key takeaways. During the included 1:1 transfer coaching session, you’ll delve deeper into your individual priorities, questions, and challenges with an experienced expert and apply them to your day-to-day project work.
