A structured AI learning and training curriculum covering strategy, governance, and industry transformation. Designed for professionals who need to understand, evaluate, and deploy AI within real business contexts.
Built for MBA candidates, management consultants, and corporate leaders. 10 modules spanning foundations, 7 industry verticals, and 40+ case studies grounded in public company data.
Curriculum Structure
The curriculum moves from foundational AI literacy through industry-specific analysis to forensic case study examination. Each tier builds on the previous.
Modules 1–3 · 390 pages
Core AI literacy for professionals. Covers the technology stack (LLMs, RAG, Agentic AI), the current state of the AI market, and workforce impact analysis including job displacement data, emerging roles, and career protection frameworks.
Modules 4–10 · 7 verticals
Each industry module applies Porter's Five Forces alongside AI disruption analysis. Covers market structure, key technologies deployed, competitive dynamics, and transformation roadmaps specific to each sector.
40+ case studies · 7 industries
Forensic analysis of real AI deployments at named companies. Each case study follows a structured framework: the business problem, the AI solution architecture, measurable outcomes, and strategic lessons.
Designed For
Develop AI fluency that complements core MBA coursework. Understand the strategic frameworks and market data needed for case interviews, strategy presentations, and technology-focused roles.
Access structured industry analyses and ROI-driven frameworks to inform client engagements. Each module includes the kind of competitive analysis and implementation roadmaps expected in professional advisory work.
Build the knowledge base needed to participate in AI governance, vendor evaluation, and transformation planning. This is a strategic curriculum — it teaches the "what" and "why," not Python coding.
Background
The NOVA curriculum is built on a unique intersection of experience. As the founder of a leading recruiting firm, the instructor operates on the front lines of the global talent shift — with direct visibility into which roles are being displaced by automation and which ones are commanding premium compensation.
Combined with a background as Managing Partner at Gartner and over a decade in investment banking, the curriculum reflects a perspective most AI educators cannot offer: the strategist's view of enterprise transformation, the financier's rigor around ROI and valuation, and the recruiter's real-time insight into how the labor market is actually responding to AI adoption.
The result is a curriculum that bridges four disciplines: AI architecture and workflow design, enterprise strategy and governance, financial evaluation of AI investments, and workforce impact analysis — all grounded in publicly verifiable company data rather than speculation.
Every module uses AI tools (Claude, Gemini, Perplexity) as research accelerators — but the strategic architecture, framework design, analytical conclusions, and editorial judgment are human-directed. This curriculum was not generated; it was architected using AI as an instrument, not an author.
Analytical Framework
Every industry module synthesizes two analytical perspectives into actionable strategy: traditional competitive structure analysis and AI-specific disruption mechanics.
