This course focuses on the core IT capabilities that IT executives and managers must consider when creating strategy and policy for the deployment and use of information technologies, AI tools and techniques, and data within an organization. Those IT capabilities include both operational uses of such technologies, tools, and data, as well as strategic decision making for deploying advanced AI and Analytics capabilities. The expanding role of IT executives to encompass AI and Analytics capabilities as well as the fast-paced changes in technology require IT executives and managers to quickly understand, adapt, and apply technology that can provide value to organizations. Successful organizations are those that can react quickly by introducing innovative technologies and respond to market demands using data driven solutions produced by the ethical use of AI and Analytics models and tools. Students will learn how IT managers engage data and AI tools ethically to develop and enhance their departments’ strategies.
