Course Overview:

Most leaders are stuck in the "prompting" hype; the best are learning how to think with AI. This 2-day LUMS intensive is your essential first step in moving past basic "how-to" tutorials and into the world of AI-native leadership.

Instead of treating AI as a search engine, you will learn to utilise it as a high-level Thinking Partner to collapse the distance between a raw idea and a structured business model. This workshop focuses on the strategic shift: moving from 1-sentence searches to professional-grade logic that drives innovation and reduces the time from "concept" to "first draft".

  • Move Beyond the Hype: Transition from simple "Google-style" queries to structured frameworks that generate high-fidelity business strategy.

  • Strategic Resilience: Identify which parts of your role are "AI-vulnerable" and build a road-map to lead your industry's transformation.

  • Rapid Prototyping: Use AI to turn napkin sketches into visual product prototypes or structured models in minutes.

  • The Trust Framework: Master the "Trust but Verify" workflow to identify hallucinations and ensure all AI output is brand-aligned and accurate.


Learning Outcomes:

By the end of this course, the students should be able to:

  • Distinguish between different types of AI (Generative vs. Predictive) and explain "under-the-hood" concepts like LLMs and Hallucinations in plain business language, moving past the hype to reality.

  • move from 1-sentence "Google-style" searches to professional-grade structured prompting. They will master frameworks (like R.C.E.O. - Role, Context, Execute, Output) to generate high-fidelity business documents, strategy drafts, and creative briefs.

  • Gain hands-on experience using AI for "Non-Designers." They will learn to prompt for high-quality graphics (Midjourney/DALL-E), produce professional video clips (Runway/Sora),

  • Use AI as a "Thinking Partner" for innovation. They will use tools (like Uizard or Miro AI) to turn a text idea into a visual product prototype or a structured business model, drastically reducing the time between "concept" and "first draft."

  • Participants will learn the "Trust but Verify" workflow. They will be able to identify hallucinations, understand the risks of data privacy in public models, and apply a 3-step verification process to ensure all AI-generated content is accurate, safe, and brand-aligned before it is shared.

  • Identify which parts of their specific role are "AI-vulnerable" and which are "AI-resilient." They will develop a personal "AI Roadmap" to ensure they are the ones leading the implementation in their industry, rather than being replaced by it.

The interior design course at LUMS was a great experience. The course wasn’t too long, and I could manage it easily alongside my job. This course helped me gain the confidence and initial experience I needed to get into the market.

Course: Introduction to Business

The overall experience that I’ve had with this course is just amazing. It’s like a micro MBA that LUMS can have you do in less than two months. It’s a very rigorous course, it’s time-consuming and very hands-on and is a learning experience that everyone should experience at least once in their lives.

This course holds a lot of significance because I gained a hands-on, practical understanding of auditing before stepping into the professional world. The instructor created this well-rounded course and allowed us to develop a work ethic that helped me excel in the workplace.
