Block 06 – Set the Strategic Direction

This three-hour teaching block develops learners' ability to establish a clear strategic direction for AI adoption that aligns with organisational goals, values and priorities. Learners explore how to develop an AI vision, define strategic objectives and establish principles for responsible implementation. They consider governance arrangements, information security, organisational risk appetite, workforce development and the importance of securing leadership support. Through practical activities and the Northstar Group case study, learners develop a coherent AI strategy that balances innovation and business value with responsible adoption, organisational readiness and appropriate safeguards. Learners complete Strategy Builder F: Strategic Direction, defining an AI vision, strategic objectives, guiding principles, governance expectations and a practical roadmap for implementation.
