30-day money-back guarantee Verified against latest insights, updated access provided within 24h

Each order is checked and updated against the latest insights before delivery. That is why access takes up to 24 hours rather than being instant.

What you walk out with
A scored, ranked picture of your own function, and a defensible answer to what to fix first.
1 You stop guessing where you stand.
You finish with a score, not an opinion: every part of your function rated red, amber or green, with the weakest ranked first. Evidence: a Quick Scan for the shape of it, then seven domain assessments of 30 scored questions each, 210 in all, rolled into one scorecard, plus a maturity radar and a current-versus-target gap analysis.
2 You can defend the decision.
You walk into the budget round with the gap named, the owner named and done defined, instead of a case built on instinct. Evidence: project charter, scope statement, RACI, requirements traceability and work breakdown structure, pre-filled in your domain's language.
3 The work actually moves.
The month after the decision is already built, so nothing stalls waiting for someone to design a form. Evidence: more than 60 project templates across all five PMBOK process groups, plus runbooks, SOPs, a KPI framework, audit checklists and a risk matrix. 55 to 65 files in total.
4 You use it the day it lands.
No blank templates to interpret. Every workbook opens with what it is, who uses it, when, how, a 1 to 5 scoring guide, what good looks like, and a worked example you delete and type over.
The Quick Scan is one sitting. You will know your weakest area before the day is out.
Nothing in it is generic project management: the build rejects any file that could belong to another course. Updated after you enrol, so it reflects where the work stands now. The 144-chapter course is included behind it, for the parts you want to go deeper on.
You're responsible for scaling automation globally, but without a consistent way to assess what to scale, when, and why.

The situation this is built for

Every quarter, new AI tools emerge promising transformation. Yet your team struggles to separate signal from noise. Leadership demands faster ROI. Regional teams build in silos. Compliance risks grow. You lack a repeatable method to evaluate which workflows justify global investment, how to sequence them, and how to prove their value across diverse operating environments.

Who this is for

Head of Automation in a global enterprise, responsible for end-to-end design, governance, and scaling of AI-driven workflows across regions and business units.

Who this is not for

Individual contributors focused on coding bots, consultants selling automation tools, or teams limited to departmental RPA without enterprise scope.

What you walk away with

  • Assess automation maturity across business units
  • Prioritize workflows using strategic and operational criteria
  • Build executive-grade business cases for scaling
  • Establish governance models for global consistency
  • Reduce time from pilot to production rollout

How this maps to your situation

  • Diagnose current automation maturity
  • Prioritize high-leverage workflows
  • Build defensible business cases
  • Scale with governance and consistency

Before vs. after

Before
Overwhelmed by competing automation demands, inconsistent regional practices, and pressure to prove ROI without a clear framework for decision-making.
After
Equipped with a structured methodology to assess, prioritize, and scale automation initiatives globally with confidence and consistency.

If nothing changes
Without a disciplined approach, automation efforts will remain fragmented, overpromise on ROI, and fail to scale — exposing the enterprise to compliance gaps, operational risk, and wasted investment.

How this compares to the alternatives

Unlike generic automation training, this course focuses exclusively on enterprise-scale decision-making, governance, and global rollout strategy — the actual work owned by the head of automation.

Also included: the full course, for when you want the reasoning behind a finding (12 modules, 144 chapters)
