Why this sits with senior leadership — not technology.

Three reasons AI Leadership Units are the right vehicle for senior leaders in a regulated bank in 2026.

Why now
$15.7T

Global AI contribution by 2030 (PwC). 75% of executives believe they risk going out of business within five years if they don't scale AI (Accenture).

"In five years, your competitors won't be companies adapting AI — they'll be AI-first from the ground up."
Matt Kropp, BCG
Why leaders
Product. Design. Eng.

The handoff collapsed. Authority tracks competence — leaders who can't operate the tools lose functional standing and can't govern what they can't calibrate.

"There's a new programming language. It's called 'human'."
Jensen Huang, Nvidia — London Tech Week 2025
Why this route
First of its kind.

The first formally assessed, levy-fundable route to AI governance training for senior leaders in the UK.

"Policy literacy is not the same as calibrated judgement. The unit closes the gap."

What you gain

Not every AI investment pays off. Learn to choose the right ones, lead the change, and make it last.

This programme gives you the skills to make smarter AI decisions, drive adoption across your organisation, and build a strategy that holds up — fully funded through the Apprenticeship Levy.

  • Make evidence-based AI investment and procurement decisions — and know what the vendor pitch isn't telling you.
  • Design a governance framework that embeds accountability and transparency into your organisation's decision-making.
  • Manage AI risk within your existing enterprise risk framework, with monitoring that catches problems before they become incidents.
  • Lead cross-functional AI-enabled change — redesigning workflows, assessing workforce impacts, and guiding your teams through adoption.
  • Represent your organisation in external AI conversations with regulators, partners and sector bodies — with the authority that comes from doing this work, not just reading about it.

Programme overview

Training is delivered online over 12 weeks, in focused sessions and projects that apply directly to your role. Every learner has a personal tutor and access to industry mentors throughout.
