About the Course

Forget everything you know about traditional artificial intelligence. Generative AI and Agentic AI aren’t just new tools—they’re a new form of cognitive labor. They don’t simply analyze information; they take action, execute multi-step workflows, and deliver outcomes that once required teams of experts. From diagnosing equipment failures with a single photo to autonomously building full-stack software applications in minutes, AI labor is redefining what organizations can achieve. This course shows leaders how to harness it strategically—before their competitors do. In Generative AI & AI Agent Organizational Strategy for Leaders, you’ll learn why AI is no longer an IT initiative, a technical experiment, or a siloed innovation project. It is now a strategic workforce capability—a new category of labor that every employee can deploy through conversation, creativity, and problem-solving. You’ll discover how AI agents unlock 100x–1000x productivity gains, why vendor-locked “AI add-ons” can cripple your innovation capacity, and how organizations must rethink procurement, capability development, and labor strategy to stay competitive. You’ll see firsthand how simple inputs—a photo, a document, a spreadsheet, a menu, a policy—can instantly become powerful AI-driven systems that perform tasks previously impossible or cost-prohibitive. Leaders will explore how employees at every level can use AI to enhance decision-making, compress time, and scale expertise, not replace roles. The real competitive advantage comes from teaching your workforce to think in conversations, design AI workflows, and orchestrate these new digital laborers effectively. By the end of this course, you won’t just understand what agentic AI is—you’ll know how to operationalize it. You’ll learn how to: • Build an organizational AI labor strategy that attracts the “best and brightest” models and keeps you vendor-independent. • Identify high-value starting points using simple but transformational use cases. • Train your workforce to solve problems through conversational design rather than code. • Foster innovation by enabling teams to experiment rapidly with documents, images, and real-world workflows. • Differentiate meaningful strategic AI capability from hype, gimmicks, and tools that limit your future. Whether you lead a large enterprise, a fast-growing team, or a mission-driven organization, this course will give you a powerful framework for navigating the AI revolution. You’ll learn how to scale AI labor across your workforce, unlock new forms of value, and build an organization that moves faster, thinks smarter, and out-innovates the competition. The future belongs to leaders who understand AI not as technology—but as labor. This course will teach you how to lead in that future....

Jules White's "Organizational Strategy with Generative AI & AI Agents" is an exceptional course that cuts through the AI hype and delivers practical, actionable insights for business leaders. As a VP of Procurement at Schneider Electric, I've completed numerous AI courses over the past six months, and this stands out as the most strategically valuable. What Makes This Course Outstanding: Jules has a rare gift for making complex concepts accessible. His parallel between the invention of reading/writing (which externalized memory) and GenAI (which externalizes cognition) is brilliant and reframes how we should think about this technology's transformative potential. The course fundamentally challenges conventional wisdom in three critical ways: - Think Labor, Not Tools: Jules advocates viewing AI as labor rather than software, encouraging leaders to build "AI labor strategies" instead of just buying more tools. This shift in perspective is game-changing for procurement and operations leaders. - Prototype Before You Buy: Rather than the traditional approach of purchasing expensive AI platforms and spending months on data cleansing, Jules demonstrates how to prototype and validate use cases through simple conversations with existing documents. This approach dramatically reduces risk and accelerates time-to-value. - Demystifying AI Agents: Jules brilliantly simplifies the concept of AI agents - "it's just a conversation." This removes the intimidation factor and empowers non-technical leaders to experiment confidently. Bottom Line: This course gives you the conceptual framework, practical tools, and confidence to lead AI transformation in your organization. Jules White has created something truly valuable - a course that respects your intelligence while making advanced concepts accessible. Worth every minute invested.

Excellent course, the delivery kept me engaged and clearly laid out how to approach AI from a ground up perspective. Definitely will be continuing the series.
