AI for Business: Smarter Decisions & Operational Intelligence
Use AI and Codex to transform business data into insights, analyze operational performance, evaluate alternatives, and build decision-support tools.
Course overview
Use AI and Codex to transform business data into insights, analyze operational performance, evaluate alternatives, and build decision-support tools. During this 2-day instructor-led course, you work through the practical problem behind this work with OpenAI Codex as a guided coding and workflow assistant. You begin by defining the intended outcome, users, inputs, constraints, and success checks. With starter materials and instructor demonstrations, you build Business decision toolkit and 90-day action plan., so you can inspect Codex’s suggestions and explain how the result works. Exercises use fictional or approved sample data; keep sensitive records, passwords, and keys out of prompts and source files. The final workshop checks functionality, calculations, edge cases, and output clarity. The course is designed for Executives, managers, analysts, consultants, entrepreneurs.. Prerequisites: General business knowledge.. You leave with project files where appropriate, reusable prompts, exercises, reference notes, and an adaptation checklist. The result is a learning prototype rather than automatically production-ready software; further security, deployment, accessibility, and maintenance review may be required before live use.
