More Information

The Strategic Decision Making with AI Programme (CMI Level 7) is built for senior leaders making high-stakes decisions in a data-driven environment. While AI is reshaping operations, the real advantage lies in how effectively leaders interpret data, apply judgment, and ensure decisions are both informed and accountable. This programme focuses on the practical application of AI in decision-making—helping you improve performance, manage risk and deliver measurable business value.

Over two intensive days, you will develop a clear understanding of what underpins reliable, decision-ready intelligence. You will explore how data quality, governance, and organisational processes influence AI outputs, and learn to separate high-impact opportunities from low-value automation. The programme challenges common assumptions, helping you identify where AI strengthens decision-making and where human judgement remains essential. It also addresses the risks organisations face when adopting AI without the right structures, including bias, weak data integrity and limited accountability.

By the end, you will be equipped to lead AI-enabled decision-making with confidence and control. You will be able to align AI initiatives with strategic priorities, apply governance frameworks for responsible use and translate insight into action through a clear implementation roadmap.

By the end of the programme, you will be able to:

  • Make more informed, data-driven decisions with confidence
  • Understand where AI should and shouldn’t be used
  • Strengthen governance, oversight and accountability
  • Align AI initiatives with strategic and operational priorities
  • Create a clear action plan to implement within your organisation
  • Cut through complexity and focus on decision impact
  • Identify where AI can genuinely improve performance
  • Avoid common pitfalls linked to poor data, weak processes and over-automation
  • Build a practical, leadership-led approach to AI adoption

  • Identify risks linked to poor data quality, bias, and missing context

Session 2: Driving Value Through Data Strategy

  • Identify where AI can create meaningful business value
  • Apply practical frameworks to assess AI use cases
  • Distinguish high-impact opportunities from low-value automation
  • Align data and AI initiatives with strategic priorities

Session 3: Integrity in Intelligence

  • Define where AI should support decisions vs. where human judgement is critical
  • Understand ethical risks, bias, and accountability in AI-enabled decisions
  • Explore trust, transparency, and explainability in practice
  • Build confidence in responsible AI leadership

Session 4: Strategic Integration, Governance, and Action Planning

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.
  • Access to a wealth of CMI online learning resources through their CMI Thrive website.
