Executive Education Program

AI → Gen AI → Agentic AI

Course Description

This ExEd program takes participants on a journey from the fundamentals of AI to the practical use of generative AI and the design of agentic AI systems. The course covers how generative models are transforming areas such as marketing, coding, and data analysis, enabling professionals to create content, presentations, campaigns, and even run analytical tasks with ease. The program then moves toward building agents, starting with single-agent systems and progressing to advanced multi-agent designs that can collaborate, use tools, and orchestrate workflows across business processes. In addition to the technical side, the course emphasizes strategy and implementation. Participants are guided to assess their organization’s readiness for AI, build a clear adoption plan, and consider governance issues essential for scaling. Ethical, societal, and policy dimensions of AI are also addressed, ensuring a holistic understanding of the opportunities and risks. By the end of the program, learners will be equipped with the knowledge, skills, and frameworks to confidently adopt AI in real-world contexts.
