Student Testimonials

The instructor delivers clear, concise, and no-fluff instruction focused not on technical AI implementation, but on the equally critical people side of change management." - Gregory M.
★★★★★ "This was well structured and well delivered course with important tips. And there was no duplicating information but rather complementing each other sections. I also did like the "Output" for each session, which was a quick summary." - Sofya H.

"Short courses for busy managers"
My name is Hassan Osman and I help busy business leaders and managers work more effectively with their teams.
My focus is on three main 'future of work' areas: managing in virtual & hybrid environments, using AI to improve productivity, and enhancing communication among team members.
I write about those topics in my free weekly newsletters, "Leadership 80/20" and "AI for Leaders."
A little about me:
Most recently, I was SVP of Professional Services at NWN Carousel (a $1B organization focused on enabling hybrid work), leading a team of 200+ project managers and engineers on delivering cloud communication services to our customers.
Previously, I was a Director at Cisco Systems, where I led project and program management teams on delivering complex projects for Cisco's customers.
Prior to Cisco, I was a manager at Ernst & Young, where I analyzed failing projects at Fortune 500 companies, and recommended solutions to fix them.
I was also a research assistant at Harvard University, where I studied issues related to virtual teams.

Very prescriptive but an excellent place to start if you're stuck or you want to make sure you've covered everything. I'd like to see a knowledge check included so you understand why you should do something vs just following a plan blindly.
By John Komaromy on 1/20/2026
Yes.. good match.. just could not find the location to download the document he mentioned..
By Yi Wen Huang on 7/4/2025
I would love to hear more realistic examples or experience in different sizes of organizations / companies.
By BESY AGAMATA on 5/11/2025
This course discussed the systems, skills, and structure in managing AI in the organization. The discussion is seamless and hooks the students to know more because of the easy and direct presentation that is aligned with the objectives of the course. Awareness, support, and capacity building are necessary for AI culture implementation which must be captured in policies. The resources are helpful and provide room for modification to suit the context of the implementers. Congratulations Sir, for adding to my knowledge.
By Conor McCarthy on 5/7/2025
This course is fantastic because not only is it short and actionable, but it's of extremely high quality. I was worried coming into it that it would be very long and stuffed with extraneous information that I didn't need, but it's absolutely perfect for my use case. Can highly recommend to anyone trying to understand this extremely important and current topic.
By Alix McCulloch on 5/6/2025
Short (just over an hour), packed with information, based on standard Project Management approaches so it all fits together and makes sense. Lots of well-considered and useful resources. Time well spent, thanks Hassan.
By Stefan M. Moser on 4/30/2025
All content is practical and very clear and straight to the point. The language and content are designed for immediate implementation. No beating around the bush, no detours. Thank you for that!
By Mario Salameh on 4/29/2025
An excellent course that covers how to implement AI use cases in a step-by-step format. The downloadable templates will save us weeks of work (I didn't know so many would be included). Worth every penny!
By Christelle Salhab on 4/28/2025
Covered a lot without wasting time. The AI Resistance Management Plan is something I was looking for because our company is struggling with that aspect of generative AI adoption!
By Imad Abou Hassan on 4/28/2025
I've taken several AI courses that focus on the technology problem but completely miss the people problem. This one focuses on that part a lot and the phased approach makes it feel really simple to apply.
