ACE-Certified AI Integration Sprint for Communication Leaders
Dr Karen Sutherland
AI Consultant & Strategic Comms Educator
Certified by the AI Centre of Excellence (ACE)
The only ACE-certified, research-led AI integration sprint built for communication, PR and marketing leaders.
Most AI training teaches tools. This sprint teaches decisions.
In three weeks, you’ll build a practical AI integration strategy for your organisation or team, including workflow priorities, tool evaluation criteria, governance guardrails and a leadership-ready strategy deck.
Designed for busy Australian professionals, it helps you move from scattered AI experimentation to a clear, safe and defensible roadmap.
No technical background or pre-work required. Recordings are available.
You’ll leave with:
1. AI Opportunity Map
2. AI Policies + Guardrails
3. AI Integration Strategy Deck
4. Official ACE Certification
This is for you if you need safe AI adoption, practical governance, leadership-ready strategy and reputational risk control.
It doesn’t include prompt libraries, tool tutorials, AI content hacks or technical AI building.
What you’ll learn
By completing the AI Integration Sprint for Communication Leaders, you will learn how to:
Build a clear roadmap to guide your organisation or team's AI adoption from preparation to execution.
