Description

This course contains the use of artificial intelligence

A confident AI answer is not enough to justify a strategic decision. The evidence behind it must survive questions about customers, competitors and alternative futures.

Market notes often arrive in different formats, competitor offers use different units, and important assumptions stay hidden inside polished slides. An AI assistant can make that material sound coherent while quietly adding claims that the sources never supported. When the gaps disappear from view, a strategy discussion can become a debate about confidence instead of evidence.

A stronger strategy process keeps the reasoning visible. Market observations remain linked to their sources, competitor comparisons retain their limits, and scenarios show conditions rather than pretend to predict the future. A recommendation can then explain why one direction is preferred, what the alternatives offer and which new observation would justify changing course.

Mike is the #1 HR instructor on Udemy. His professional background includes 20 years in HR, and his credentials include PHRi, SHRM-CP and HCI sHRBP. The course brings a structured learning format to practical business analysis, with explicit boundaries between AI-generated drafts and decisions made by people.

The course opens with five new AI-assisted strategy workshops. The sequence moves from a market evidence brief to competitor profiles and a comparable benchmark. It then develops distinct market scenarios, reviews strategic options through an evidence-linked SWOT and prepares a concise decision brief for leadership discussion. Each workshop includes a request to the assistant, a response check, a revision and a reviewed output.

A fictional business case supplies the market notes, competitor information and internal constraints. All case data is synthetic and clearly labeled. Each workshop includes the inputs it needs, so the practice does not depend on finishing an earlier assignment. The interactive files open in a web browser; prompts and responses move between the file and an AI assistant of your choice.

The retained course material follows as a second layer: critical thinking for business strategy, preparation for strategic sessions, strategic goals and the connection between planning, execution and change. These existing lessons provide the underlying strategy foundations. The five opening workshops contain the new AI practice.
