Fifteen programmes on judgment when AI is in the work.

Each programme applies the same method to one subject or one function: four questions a person asks before acting on an AI answer. Programmes are delivered for your group, through trainer partners. Dates, language and group size are confirmed in the enquiry, and no price is published on this page.

Descriptions, not a schedule

The programme formats page describes the half day, the one day, the two days and the certification edition. Each facilitated programme opens with a StepSim Practice mission played the participant’s usual way and closes with an unseen one of the same kind.

Programmes for

Managers and teams

For managers who make or approve decisions with AI, and for the teams they lead.

From Answers to Decisions: practical AI upskilling for managers

For: Managers who make or approve decisions using an AI assistant.

By the end, participants can

  • Make a business decision your usual way, then name what it missed and whether that changes the decision.
  • State the real decision behind a request, and what is fixed, before asking for an answer.
  • Test the claim an AI answer rests on before acting on it.
  • Bring in the people who must agree, and say when AI drafted the work.
  • Make a decision you can explain, say what would change it, and name one change to how you and your team check AI work.
Formats

Half day, one day or two days, and a certification edition of any of them.

What participants receive

Record of Completion for everyone who completes. The certification edition adds a separate assessment sitting, which can lead to AIRS-J/1 certification, Professional track, issued by AIR APAC.

Making Team Decisions with AI: who decides, and on what evidence

For: Department heads and the teams that decide together: management teams, project boards and committees below board level. Run for a team that already works together.

By the end, participants can

  • Agree the real decision, and what is fixed, before anyone brings an AI answer.
  • Compare options from different people and different AI tools on the same evidence, not on how convincing they sound.
  • Bring disagreement into the open and test it, instead of following the most senior or the most confident view.
  • State who owns the decision, who must be consulted, and when a decision must go higher.
  • Record the decision, the reasons, the disagreement and what would make the team change course, and say where AI drafted the work.

Leading Teams Through AI Change: test the change, then correct it

For: Line managers, heads of department, transformation leads and L&D partners who are changing how a team works because of AI.

Not covered: This programme does not advise on job design, staffing levels or employment law, and it is not training on any AI tool.

By the end, participants can

  • Sort the team's work into what AI may draft, what it may help with, and what a person must own.
  • Choose one change to test first, with a clear measure and a date to review it.
  • Bring in the staff whose work changes before the decision, and tell them what is decided and why.
  • Notice when a change creates new errors, hidden work or a loss of skill, and correct it.
  • Report to senior management what changed, what it cost and what was learned, including what did not work.
Formats

One day or two days, and a certification edition.

Programmes for

Boards and senior leaders

For boards, executive committees and leaders who decide while conditions keep changing.

Deciding Under Uncertainty with AI: what to decide now, what to postpone, and when to change course (VUCA)

For: Managers and senior leaders who must decide while conditions inside and outside the organisation keep changing, much of it driven by AI, including heads of government departments and owners and successors in family businesses.

Also for: Managers and teams

What the programme does, and does not do: It does not solve the participants' problems for them, and it is not training on any AI tool. It teaches managers how to use the AI assistants they already turn to when they work on these problems: what to ask, when to push back, and how to take the conversation further until they can shape an option of their own.

What VUCA means: VUCA stands for volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity. The term comes from the US Army War College in the late 1980s and 1990s, where it described the world after the Cold War. The cases use conditions the region knows: the pandemic, sharp swings in oil and commodity prices, supply chain disruption and fast regulatory change.

By the end, participants can

  • Separate what is known from what is uncertain, and find the few unknowns that would actually change the decision.
  • Frame the real decision, then find the few issues (often about 20%) that drive most of the impact (often about 80%), and work on those first.
  • Assess the risk: what could fail, how, who would bear the cost, and which harm you are choosing to accept.
  • Decide what to commit to now, what to postpone, and what to keep open; take the step that can be reversed if you are wrong, and name in advance what would make you change course.
  • Work with an AI assistant as a thinking partner: brief it on the real decision, question its answer, push back when the reasoning or the evidence is weak, ask for the alternatives it left out, and build the final option yourself.
Formats

One day or two days, or a four-week cohort for a leadership group, and a certification edition.

What participants receive

Record of Completion for everyone who completes. The certification edition adds a separate assessment sitting, which can lead to AIRS-J/1 certification, Professional track, issued by AIR APAC.

  • Read an AI policy for who decides, who checks and who is told.
  • Set what the board must see, and how often.
  • Recognise when management is following a recommendation instead of making a decision.
  • Record the board's own reasoning.
Formats

Half day for a board, or one day for an executive committee. A certification edition on request.

Programmes for

Business functions

What AI means for one function, with the same four questions applied to its decisions.

AI in Procurement and Governance: better buying decisions and stronger controls

For: Procurement, category and contract managers, tender committee members, and the governance, audit and compliance staff who oversee procurement. Public and private sector.

Also for: Government and destination organisations

Delivery: Delivered with a procurement practitioner as co-facilitator. AIRS-J/1 certification assesses judgment in AI-enabled work; it is not a procurement qualification.

By the end, participants can

  • Find where AI can safely speed up each stage of the procurement cycle, and where a person must decide.
  • Test an AI bid comparison or supplier screen for the claim it rests on, and for what it cannot see.
  • Write an AI-assisted specification that is fair to all bidders, with the reasons recorded.
  • Set the controls, approvals, disclosure and records that make AI-assisted procurement auditable.
  • Present and own a procurement recommendation to a tender committee, with the reasoning stated.
Formats

Two days (the main edition), one day, or a half-day overview for tender committees and senior management, and a certification edition.

What participants receive

Record of Completion for everyone who completes. The certification edition adds a separate assessment sitting, which can lead to AIRS-J/1 certification, Professional track, issued by AIR APAC.

AI in Risk, Audit and Compliance: assurance over AI-assisted work

For: Internal auditors, risk managers and compliance officers.

Also for: Boards and senior leaders

Two editions: The assurance edition is for internal audit, risk and compliance staff who review AI-assisted work independently. The governance edition is for AI governance officers and risk owners who set and run the controls, the escalation routes and the corrective action. Running a control and reviewing it independently are different jobs, so a group takes one edition, not both at once.

By the end, participants can

  • Find where in a process AI influences a decision.
  • Test the evidence behind an AI-assisted conclusion.
  • Design a control that a person actually performs.
  • Audit disclosure and escalation, not only outputs.
  • Write a finding about judgment, not about the tool.
Formats

One day or two days, as the assurance edition or the governance edition, and a certification edition.

What participants receive

Record of Completion for everyone who completes. The certification edition adds a separate assessment sitting, which can lead to AIRS-J/1 certification, Professional track, issued by AIR APAC.

AI in Operations and Supply Chain Decisions

For: Operations, supply chain, logistics and planning managers in manufacturing, distribution, retail, healthcare and public services.
