Thesmo Training Courses Pathway · AI for management

Twelve courses. Four tiers. Entry level to the boardroom.

A pathway, not a course

Most AI training is a single course. Six months later, nothing has changed.

Our pathway trains a whole team in one consistent approach: junior staff, managers and directors learn the same methods, so nobody gets contradictory advice from different providers.

Start at Foundation. Any Foundation course opens every Practitioner course, and each tier prepares you for the next. Executive briefings sit outside the ladder for leaders who need one focused day.

What runs through every course

Built to change what you do on Monday.

The Monday morning test

Every module answers one question: what will you do differently on Monday morning? Content that cannot answer it is left out.

Simulations, not slides

Interactive exercises where you make judgements and see where your instincts serve you and where they do not.

A follow-up after 30 days

We come back to the commitment you made and ask how it went.

Sourced, not asserted

Figures from Stanford’s AI Index, the World Economic Forum, PwC and peer-reviewed studies. Challenge a number and you get a straight answer.

Built by practitioners

Developed by Thesmo Artificial Intelligence Consultancy and Training L.L.C S.P.C, a firm that builds AI systems and advises on strategy and performance.

Your function, your sector

Every exercise is set in the work you do.

Delegates choose their function at the start, and the scenarios follow.

Human ResourcesRecruitment, performance reviews, policy, employee queries
FinanceBudgets, forecasts, variance analysis, reporting
Information TechnologyService requests, incidents, change management, documentation
OperationsProcess performance, capacity, quality, supplier management
Customer ServiceCase handling, complaints, service levels, escalations
MarketingCampaigns, content, audience analysis, performance reporting
Project ManagementPlans, risks, status reporting, resource decisions

Scenarios use nine detailed fictional organisations, so the work is realistic without being about anyone’s real employer.
