How to Build a CXO-level AI Competency Model: Inside IIT Bombay's Course

AI has moved beyond the technology team. Today, leaders across strategy, operations, product, technology, and transformation are expected to make decisions about where AI creates value, which opportunities deserve investment, what risks matter, and how organisations should adapt.

That requires a different kind of AI capability.

Not production-grade coding.
Not becoming an AI specialist.

But enough fluency and strategic judgment to ask better questions, challenge assumptions, evaluate AI opportunities, and lead change with confidence.

In this faculty-led launch webinar, Prof. Sawan Rathi and Prof. Soumya G. Rajan from SJMSOM, IIT Bombay, walk through what an AI-ready leadership competency model looks like and how the AI Strategy, Leadership & Transformation course is built to develop it.

You’ll also have the opportunity to interact directly with the faculty, ask questions about the course and its relevance to your role, and clarify your doubts before deciding if it’s the right fit for you.
