About the Course

Building Organisational AI Readiness in Higher Education provides a complete, structured pathway for universities seeking to embed GenAI responsibly, strategically, and sustainably. Rather than focusing solely on tools, this course helps institutions build the underlying capabilities that determine long-term success: confidence, culture, governance, digital infrastructure, strategic alignment, and workforce development. Across five modules, you will explore how to evaluate institutional maturity, build robust infrastructure, upskill staff, cultivate innovation-positive culture, and create readiness roadmaps tailored to diverse academic and professional service teams. Each lesson includes practical examples, readiness tools, real-world case studies, and GenAI-optimised templates to accelerate institutional planning. Whether you are leading digital strategy, supporting transformation initiatives, or coordinating faculty readiness efforts, this course will equip you with actionable frameworks to guide your organisation through the complexities of adopting AI at scale—ethically, confidently, and with strategic coherence.
