This is a government-approved apprenticeship unit (AU0009), carrying £750 of public funding per learner. Smaller employers pay nothing, and levy payers fund it from their Growth and Skills Levy account - so for eligible UK employees there is no cost to the learner.

Structure the problem before you solve it
Most strategy fails before it starts, because no one framed the problem properly. You'll learn to break a leadership-sized problem into parts AI can genuinely help with, and to plan the work before diving in - so AI answers the question you actually meant to ask.
Example outcomes you can expect:
Get the evidence before you get the opinion
Strategy built on a hunch is a guess in a nicer font. You'll learn which AI research tools suit which job, and how to check what they tell you before you trust it - so you build evidence you can defend in the room.
Example outcomes you can expect:
Turn research into a point of view
Research only counts if you do something with it. You'll cut a pile of findings down to the few themes that matter, and build a reusable knowledge base that makes every future AI conversation sharper - so you grasp the problem better than anyone in the room.
Example outcomes you can expect:
Use AI as a thinking partner, not an oracle
AI is at its best as a sounding board, not an oracle. You'll put your half-formed view in front of an AI playing your toughest sceptic, and sharpen it under pressure until it's a position you would genuinely stand behind.
Example outcomes you can expect:
Apply a real framework, not a vibe
A real strategy needs a real framework, not a vibe. You'll pick the one that fits your problem - Blue Ocean, OKRs, Theory of Change - and work with AI to map, review and refine it. You'll end with a structured strategy, not a wish list.
Example outcomes you can expect:
Ship something a stakeholder will read
The best strategy is worthless in a document no one opens. You'll learn to brief AI on audience, tone and brand, and produce a polished, stakeholder-ready version of your strategy.
