Why CISL
CISL helps leaders turn complex challenges into practical organisational action. This programme applies its experience of leadership, systems change and business transformation to responsible AI governance.
Connect today’s decisions with long-term competitiveness and resilience your organisation depends on.
Consider who benefits, who bears the costs and what needs to change.
AI adoption is already reshaping organisations and sectors, but its future is not yet determined. Without leadership, clear accountability and adaptive governance, there is a real risk that AI deepens systemic risks, cost and impact. The decisions leaders make today will determine what our future looks like. CISL brings three decades of experience working with business leaders and organisations to address complex, fast-moving systemic challenges into long-term, value-driven solutions for society and economies.
You should understand the basics of using AI and have responsibility or influence over how it is adopted or used. This may be in operations, finance, HR, procurement, technology or risk. You do not need technical expertise or a sustainability role.
The programme combines six live sessions with work you schedule between them. Allow 75 to 90 minutes of applied work per learning unit, plus onboarding, readings and AI tutorials. There are five learning units.
Live sessions run at 12:00 UK time.
The fee covers the full programme: six live sessions, the personalised learning between them, the AI tutor and your Certificate of Completion. The early-bird fee of £1,445 applies until 6 October, or until the early-bird places are taken, whichever comes first. After that the fee is £1,895.
Requesting the outline does not hold a place or commit you to payment.
No. This is a leadership programme, not legal advice, technical training or regulatory certification. You develop a working governance playbook for review and implementation within your organisation.
