AI Strategy and Transformation Planning

About this course

This course establishes the strategic foundation for enterprise AI transformation by translating emerging AI capabilities into a structured, value-driven roadmap. You'll assess your organizational readiness across data, policy, and talent to ensure your strategy is built on a viable foundation. The course covers how to sequence AI initiatives based on business impact and technical feasibility, with a focus on the Microsoft ecosystem's infrastructure requirements. You'll design transformation plans that account for the total cost of ownership, including the human verification cycles required for accurate AI outputs. By the end of this course, you'll be able to synthesize your North Star Vision, phased transformation roadmap, and TCO model into a single board-ready Strategic AI Investment Case — one that defends the balance between innovation speed and architectural integrity with quantitative evidence, governance-grounded recommendations, and a clear authorization narrative designed for board-level review.
