Case Study: Kellogg School of Management achieves stronger AI strategy leadership with Microsoft Corporation

New executive online course to give business leaders the keys to drive more effective AI strategy

Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University needed a better way to help C-level leaders cut through AI hype and focus on how to apply AI to real business outcomes. To address this challenge, the school developed an eight-week online course for executives, using Microsoft Services input and case studies as part of the curriculum.

Microsoft Corporation helped Kellogg School of Management shape the course through AI strategy playbooks, an ideation session, and real-world use cases on AI execution and implementation. The result is a practical program with hands-on frameworks, technical resources, and GitHub tools that helps executives identify, scope, and prioritize AI initiatives more effectively.
