Introduction

Senior leaders today are increasingly required to make high-impact decisions involving artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and operational resilience, often without deep technical backgrounds. This creates a governance gap where strategic understanding, rather than technical detail, becomes essential for effective oversight.

The Artificial Intelligence (AI), Cyber Security and Operational Resilience for Non-Technical Leaders training course addresses this need by equipping executives with board-level insight into emerging technologies and associated risks. It enables participants to understand how AI systems operate, how cyber threats affect organisational stability, and how resilience frameworks support continuity in disruption scenarios.

The training course focuses on practical governance perspectives, helping leaders ask the right questions, evaluate risks, and align technology decisions with organisational strategy and regulatory expectations.

Key focus areas include:
