This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.

Generative AI belongs on the executive agenda. A clear portfolio, explicit accountability and credible evidence give that agenda substance. Here are 125 tools for it: 84 ready-to-use templates, checklists, question lists and procedures, 22 models and methods, 14 services shown on screen and 5 working files.

Open a lecture, take the template, and review your AI initiatives this month.

Why AI stays a pilot

AI initiatives start in different departments with no portfolio and no owner. Value is assumed, costs are not counted, risk is nobody's job, and the board hears about AI only when something goes wrong. At the same time, the people system that should carry the change is often missing.

What changes after this course

You hold a portfolio of AI initiatives with owners, tested value and governance, and you report to the board with evidence. You also build the HR foundation, processes and leadership team the company needs to scale.

Who is teaching

I am Mike, the #1 HR instructor on Udemy, with 1,800,000+ course enrollments from 170,000 students, and the author of about 200 books on Amazon. I built the people system at Preply as it became a unicorn and worked at Wargaming, iDeals and Alfa-Bank across 20 years in HR. I hold PHRi, SHRM-CP and HCI sHRBP certifications and represent HRCI in Eastern Europe. I am also a founder and lead the strategy of my own academy.

It is often said a company can manage without HR up to about 30 people. If you look inside, by then an assistant or office manager is already loaded with HR work, so "we have no HR" usually means HR is done by someone else on the side. Between 30 and 200 people it is time to hire HR, and I have seen companies of 200 that saved on it at a high cost.
