AI-Proof Leadership: Future-Proof Your Career with Strategic Service Design
You’re talented, experienced, and committed. But right now, AI isn’t just disrupting industries-it’s redefining leadership. If you’re not already leading through strategic design, you’re at risk of being sidelined, outsourced, or automated. The pressure is real. Boards demand innovation. Teams need clarity. Stakeholders want ROI-not just activity. And while others chase AI tools, you know the real differentiator isn’t technology. It’s strategic foresight. It’s the ability to design services that align with human needs, organisational goals, and emerging tech-without losing your edge. AI-Proof Leadership: Future-Proof Your Career with Strategic Service Design is the only structured pathway that transforms uncertainty into authority. In 30 days or less, you’ll go from conceptual thinking to delivering a fully scoped, stakeholder-approved, AI-integrated service proposal-board-ready and results-proven. Sarah Kim, Principal Service Designer at a Fortune 500 financial services firm, used this exact method to redesign their client onboarding journey. She replaced three legacy touchpoints with an AI-enhanced service architecture. Result? 47% faster onboarding, $2.8M in annual cost reduction, and a promotion within 60 days of implementation. This course isn’t theory. It’s a battle-tested framework used by strategists, designers, and leaders who are already outpacing their peers. No fluff. No filler. Just the highest-leverage methods for designing services that thrive in the age of AI. Here’s how this course is structured to help you get there.Course Format & Delivery Details Learn on Your Terms-No Deadlines, No Rush
