AI Foundations for Project Professionals
AI, Machine Learning, Generative AI and LLM fundamentals; capabilities, limitations and terminology relevant to delivery leaders
PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
AI-Enabled Project &
Program Management
Build practical AI literacy for project and program delivery and learn where AI can support planning, reporting, governance, risk analysis and decision support — while keeping human judgment and accountability at the centre
WHY THIS PROGRAM
Project management is evolving with AI
AI is increasingly being incorporated into project delivery environments. Project and program professionals need more than tool familiarity: they need to understand where AI can add value, where its outputs require validation, and how governance and accountability remain part of responsible delivery
This program connects established project and program management practices with practical AI concepts so professionals can evaluate and use AI more effectively in their day-to-day delivery context
The capability gap this program addresses
- Knowing what AI and Generative AI can — and cannot — reliably do
- Identifying appropriate AI-assisted project management use cases
- Reviewing AI-generated outputs rather than accepting them blindly
- Recognising AI-specific risks, governance and responsible-use considerations
- Maintaining human ownership of decisions, escalation and stakeholder accountability
