What is the AI literacy and enablement programme?

Theta’s AI Literacy & Enablement for Executives training programme gives leadership teams a grounded, practical understanding of AI, generative AI, Microsoft 365 Copilot and responsible adoption. Delivered as focused half-day or full-day sessions, the programme is designed for executives, with relevant examples, business context and discussion rather than technical detail.
