Prepare senior business leaders to move beyond AI experimentation and drive measurable ROI, competitive differentiation, and sustainable growth with the latest Microsoft CxO Edge: Run your Business on AI online cohort-based executive education program.
Advance your leaders’ AI capabilities with exclusive AI insights from Microsoft and edX
AI has become a defining force in business strategy, but with two-thirds of respondents in a recent survey noting that their organizations have not yet begun scaling AI across the enterprise, it’s clear that many organizations are struggling to translate widespread experimentation into real enterprise value.1 Today’s leaders face the challenge of turning adoption into accountable performance, which requires new judgment, governance, and cross-functional alignment. To meet this need, Microsoft is collaborating with edX to launch the CxO Edge: Run Your Business on AI online program, which is delivered on GetSmarter.*
Leveraging the content from Microsoft’s successful CxO Workshop series, the program has been reimagined into a three-week online cohort-based format to make it accessible to leaders around the world and accommodate busy executive schedules.
