What our participants are saying

The AI fluency sprint was engaging and highly relevant, blending AI evolution and concepts, industry context, a finance lens, and diverse perspectives. It provided me with some practical principles to build capability and confidence across organisations I support on their AI journey.

Anne La Fontaine, Advisory Board Member at Specia AI

The quality of the material was outstanding, and how the course had been structured was very thoughtful. The assessment helped to coalesce my understanding of the learning material.

Professor Hilary Bambrick, Board Member at The Australia Institute and the National Centre for Epidemiology and Population Health

Thank you for such a fantastic, relevant and well thought out approach to learning and discussion. Loved this sprint… I wish it was longer!

Leading tech-enabled teams sprint participant

This course gave me in-depth and more breadth to my thinking around geopolitics and the "greater" issues around us. Enjoyed the final project - it made me to re-think my typical approaches as professional.
