As uncertainty increases and data volumes expand, leaders and managers must make faster, more accurate, and more defensible decisions while still protecting performance, accountability, and governance expectations.

Participants learn how AI augments managerial judgement, strengthens forecasting and planning, and improves performance management across strategic, operational, and financial decision contexts.
