AI is not simply a system to be installed. It is a capability that operates at the level of thinking — drafting, analysing, interpreting, deciding. Those elements do not reside in the system. They reside in people.

Not everyone in your organisation needs the same level of AI capability. This practical, 45-minute session helps you map which roles need AI literacy — and to what depth — so you can meet the EU AI Act's Article 4 AI-literacy obligation without over- or under-investing. You'll leave with a clear, role-by-role plan: who needs to be AI-capable, at which of three levels, and why — something you can act on the same week. The three levels of AI literacy: • Awareness — understands what AI can and can't do, and where the risks sit. • Working — uses AI tools confidently and safely in day-to-day tasks. • Advanced — designs, governs and leads AI use across a function. Who it's for: Heads of L&D, Talent and People who are being asked to "make the organisation AI literate" without a clear picture of what that actually means, role by role.

A qualification that finally made AI practical for my day job
I'd read endlessly about AI but never knew where to start applying it. The certification gave me a structure, real use cases and the confidence to bring ideas to my leadership team that actually got signed off.

It gave me the language and the credibility to lead change
What I valued most was how grounded it was in governance and responsible use, not just tools. I came away able to make the case for AI adoption in a way stakeholders trusted.

From curious about AI to leading it in my organisation

Strategy first, tools second — exactly what I needed
Too much AI training is a tour of apps. This focused on how to think about AI in a business context, which is what actually moves the needle at senior level.

I was applying what I learned the very same week
