THE CONTEXT

Why we created this course

AI is no longer a personal productivity trick. Managers are now expected to decide where AI is used in their team, to direct people and AI agents together, to check what comes out, and to answer for the result. PMI has published The Standard for Artificial Intelligence in Portfolio, Program, and Project Management, and the EU AI Act sets duties on AI literacy, transparency and high-risk uses that reach every company working with EU clients. This is the open version of INSTAR's corporate AI Sprint for managers, led by Alina Piddubna (PMI-CPMAI, PgMP, PfMP). In five evenings you move from good prompts to a working AI workflow for your own job: how to give AI the context it needs, how to verify output before you act on it, how to orchestrate several agents and people in one process with a human in the loop, and how to use AI responsibly: confidentiality, bias, accountability and what the rules actually require of you. You leave with one AI workflow running for your real work, a one-page AI use policy for your team and a clear picture of what is expected from a manager in the AI era. Each session can be bought separately.

"Well disclosed such a complicated topic, proficiently given examples, all information was easy to understand, all questions I was interested in were answered"

★★★★★
"I want to share my briefcase, and I want to say a proven, real thank you for the course. If at first I had difficulty understanding how this theoretical knowledge will help me (although I have a small practical experience), but I can tell you that without this course, as a whistler, I have certainly failed many tests and interviews. I am grateful for this knowledge right now! I never thought interviews would ask about the disciplines of management. So thank you very much!"
