AI Leadership & Business Innovation is the first of three Short Courses that comprise SOD’s Artificial Intelligence (AI) Vocational Program. It represents the People component of SOD’s signature People, Processes and Technology pedagogical framework, the educational model underpinning the design and development of all SOD learning programs. This progressive approach recognises that successful organisational transformation begins with people, advances through effective processes and is enabled by technology. Accordingly, the AI Vocational Program is structured into three complementary Short Courses: Level 1 – People (AI Leadership & Business Innovation), Level 2 – Processes (AI Strategy & Business Transformation) and Level 3 – Technology (Advanced AI Technologies & Automation). Within this first level, students develop the leadership, communication, creativity and strategic thinking capabilities needed to identify AI opportunities, drive business innovation and support responsible AI adoption. Through four industry-focused micro-credentials, students learn to evaluate opportunities to apply Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Deep Learning, develop and pitch innovative business ideas, strengthen brand identity using AI and promote workplace cyber security awareness. Particular emphasis is placed on ethical decision-making, stakeholder engagement, entrepreneurial thinking and the human capabilities required to lead AI-driven change. Each micro-credential comprises 24 hours of learning, providing a total of 96 hours for this Short Course. Successful completion of all three Short Courses, representing 12 micro-credentials and 288 hours of learning, contributes towards completion of SOD’s Artificial Intelligence Vocational Program.
