CMI Level 7 Award in Strategic Leadership of AI

AI leadership is increasingly crucial in today’s business landscape, as organisations face growing pressure to leverage intelligent technologies for innovation, efficiency, and growth. For strategic managers and leaders, embracing AI is not just about adopting new tools or enhancing technical capabilities; it is about driving long-term value creation, fostering innovation, and ensuring resilience in an ever-evolving global landscape.

These qualifications are designed to support practising or aspiring strategic managers and leaders, accountable for setting the strategic direction of an organisation. These managers and leaders will likely be non-technical practitioners. Through these qualifications, they will develop an awareness of strategic AI leadership, and develop skills to put learning into practice through strategy development and change leadership related to AI implementation.

Delegates will be required to complete one 3000 – 4000 word written assignment that requires taught theory to be applied to the strategic organisational context:

  • Unit 739: Developing an Organisational Strategy for AI Readiness

Learners also receive:

  • Targeted tutorials run by our CMI-qualified tutors, to help learners complete the assignment writing phase.
  • Dedicated support from the Quality Assurance Team here at In Professional Development, including regular CMI learner drop-in sessions.
