AI Strategy-to-Results Executive Bootcamp

Short Course

Your board is asking questions about AI that didn’t exist two years ago: What is our AI strategy? How are we governing it? What returns should we expect, and when?

These are not technology questions. They are questions of governance, strategy, and accountability. And they sit squarely with organisational leadership.

This bootcamp ensures you can answer with confidence. You will walk away with six board-ready artefacts you can present, defend, and execute against, starting the Monday after you finish.

Senior executives attending an AI strategy bootcamp at Henley Business School

🗓️ 2 September 2026 →

The only executive AI programme built for African boardrooms

Leaders and decision-makers are under pressure to act on AI. Africa's AI market is projected to grow from $4.5 billion to $16.5 billion by 2030. King V is in effect, and your competitors are already building their AI strategies. Your next move will be critical.

This AI short course is designed to support the conversation you are already having at board level. Six focused virtual sessions, combined with a hands-on immersion and a final in-person Strategy-to-Results Lab will help you shape the governance, operating model and change approach needed to deliver real outcomes on AI. 

Be taught by faculty who advise African boards, and join a focused cohort of peers who understand the stakes, and with whom you can share lessons and pressure-test decisions.

None of the 10 leading global AI programmes offer content designed for African enterprises. This programme changes that. With more than 30 years of building African leaders, Henley Business School is ranked among the top 1% of business schools worldwide, and is skilled at building senior African leaders who govern complex organisations in uncertain environments.
