Artificial Intelligence — Mini-MBA™

The Enterprise Artificial Intelligence Mini-MBA is intended to (1) acquaint the leaders of a business enterprise on the general principles of automation (Robotic Process Automation and Artificial Intelligence), (2) apply the principles to address persistent business pain points, (3) augment the capability of technical and human resources, and/or (4) execute a change management/ transformation process.

The terms frequently associated with Enterprise Artificial Intelligence include Robotic Process Automation, Machine Learning, and Artificial Intelligence. These are often used synonymously. Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is the use of rule-based algorithms to process and handle simple repetitive tasks. Machine Learning is the use of mathematical procedures (algorithms) to leverage data to handle complex tasks. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a replication of human analytical and decision-making capabilities.

The key purposes of using AI are to:

• Hand off repetitive tasks to software
• Permit employees to spend more time on high-value tasks
• Streamline and improve business processes
• Decrease costs and increase productivity in the long term
• Reduce uncertainty

This program does not take an IT view, but a holistic, strategic view across all of the functions of the organization, regardless of its size. Through this Mini-MBA, you’ll assess if AI is right for your organization and how to implement it accordingly
