What you'll learn

Most organizations are now adopting AI through Microsoft 365 and Azure, yet the business leaders responsible for that adoption lack the framework to do so responsibly, drive its real-world use, and fund it sensibly. In this course, Identifying an Implementation and Adoption Strategy for Microsoft's AI Apps and Services (AB-731), you’ll gain the ability to lead AI adoption across your organization responsibly, effectively, and cost-consciously. First, you’ll explore how to align an AI strategy with Microsoft's responsible AI principles and establish governance structures and an AI council. Next, you’ll discover how to plan an adoption that actually takes hold, build the right team, overcome predictable barriers, and launch a champions program. Finally, you’ll learn how to match Copilot and Azure AI licensing models to real usage patterns, so your spending tracks demonstrate value instead of preceding it. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge of AI implementation and adoption strategy needed to guide your organization to onboard AI effectively.
