Overview

Agentic AI Strategies and Applications is designed to equip you with practical skills to immediately improve productivity using AI. This program focuses on autonomous AI agents—systems that can take goals, break them into steps, use tools, and get work executed with minimal human intervention. As organizations increasingly seek “AI that gets things done,” you will gain hands-on experience building and deploying agentic AI solutions that deliver real business impact. The program begins with essential foundations in modern AI and foundation models (including large language models that power agentic workflows), presented in an accessible way for non-technical professionals. From there, you will learn to map workflows, select the right tools, and translate complex problems into structured agentic solutions.

Through real-world business cases, simulations, and hands-on low/no-code exercises, you will build the ability to identify opportunities, develop agentic workflows, and evaluate outcomes based on business impact.

Who Should Register

Business professionals, managers, senior leaders in functional areas, team leaders, consultants and career-advancing professionals in corporate environments, including Kelley School alumni looking to add AI capabilities to their toolkit. This program is designed for professionals seeking to leverage autonomous AI agents for improving productivity, streamlining operations, and making better decisions. No programming or technical background required.
