Learning Outcomes
What you'll learn
The day after you finish
The day after this course, you can open a blank document and write a credible 90-day agenda for a CAIO joining any major enterprise — the governance decisions for week one, the political landmines to avoid, the vendor conversations to pause, and the three board slides that prove progress without overpromising.
Who this is for
- Primary: CTOs, CDOs, VPs of Engineering, and senior IT directors who have been appointed as Chief AI Officer, are acting in the role informally, or are being positioned for it — and need the operating playbook, not a survey of AI technology.
- Secondary: Senior strategy consultants, transformation leads, and board advisors supporting organisations through AI leadership appointments who need the frameworks to guide their clients.
Prerequisites
- 10+ years in technology leadership — CTO, CDO, VP Engineering, IT Director, or equivalent
- Experience presenting to board or C-suite on technology strategy
- Familiarity with enterprise architecture concepts: APIs, cloud, data platforms, vendor contracts
- No AI engineering or Python experience required

Capstone Project
The 90-Day CAIO Agenda — Board-Ready
A complete 90-day operating plan for a CAIO entering a new organisation or formalising an existing informal AI leadership role. Three phases: Days 1-30 (listen, inventory, stabilise), Days 31-60 (strategy, governance baseline, first win), Days 61-90 (board presentation, function design, roadmap approval).
