The AI Transformation Leader Professional Certificate is an executive-level program that equips senior leaders to design, launch, and scale enterprise AI strategies using Microsoft 365 Copilot, Copilot Studio, Azure AI Services, Purview, and Power BI. Designed for C-suite executives, SVPs, and directors, it helps organizations move from isolated AI pilots to enterprise-wide transformation—no technical background required.
The program covers AI readiness, total cost of ownership (TCO), governance, risk-value mapping, and AI adoption. Learners create an Enterprise AI Maturity Scorecard, evaluate AI vendors, design agentic workflows, and complete four executive-ready projects: a transformation roadmap, investment recommendation, AI governance charter, and Microsoft AI deployment strategy.
By the end of the program, participants can translate AI capabilities into business value, lead the transition to autonomous workflows, and monitor key performance metrics. The certificate prepares professionals for leadership roles such as Chief AI Officer, VP of Operations, and Head of Digital Transformation. Prerequisites include experience leading cross-functional initiatives and technology investment decisions.
A Microsoft 365 license with an active Copilot for Microsoft 365 subscription is required for hands-on activities. Some integrations, such as Planner, may require additional organizational licensing.
