Crafting a Generative AI Roadmap: A Strategy Course for Professionals
1Summary
Plenty of organisations have already run a GenAI pilot or two — far fewer have an actual strategy connecting those experiments to business value. This training course from the Arab British Fellowship Training Academy is built for professionals who need to close that gap: turning scattered GenAI activity into a coherent, prioritised roadmap.
The course opens with the practical building blocks — AI models, machine learning fundamentals, and prompt engineering — enough for attendees to speak the language with confidence, before moving into the strategic core: identifying where GenAI creates value, assessing organisational readiness, and mapping an AI maturity level that's honest rather than aspirational. From there, participants work through prioritising initiatives, aligning them to business goals, and managing the risk that comes with any new technology deployment.
Data governance, ethics, and compliance are treated as design constraints rather than afterthoughts, alongside the change-management work needed to build AI literacy and an innovation-friendly culture. The course closes on measurement: how to define the right KPIs, track performance, and keep the roadmap aligned with long-term strategic goals — reinforced throughout with case studies and interactive planning sessions.
