A six-module live program for the utility operations people who decide what gets piloted, shelved, or championed. Not strategy slides, not data science: the working command to put AI to use on a problem you actually have.
AI is the last 10 percent. Your data, experience, and judgment are the first 90.
Most utility AI efforts skip the foundational work and reach for the tool first. This course reverses that. It starts with the organizational and data work that lets AI actually deliver value, and it is built around one real problem you bring from your own operation.
Built for the operating layer.
Middle managers, process owners, supervisors, the people at member utilities who decide what gets piloted, shelved, or championed. You need to understand your own operational role; you do not need any technical background.
Not built for executives looking for strategy slides, or data scientists looking for technical depth. There are better rooms for both.
Each module answers one question a practitioner actually asks, building toward your own 90-day sprint plan.
“What can this actually do for me?”
“What is the foundation under everything?”
“How do decisions actually get made here?”
“What should we use, and when?”
“How do we make it stick?”
“How do we bring everyone along?”
Each session runs 60 minutes at 4:00 PM ET on Microsoft Teams, opens with a 15 to 20 minute spotlight from a peer utility practitioner, and is recorded for catch-up.
Run by AEIC. Taught hands-on.
For executives and their teams, the Center also runs a six-module analytics and AI fluency course, launched Fall 2025 and available now. The two are built to reinforce each other, top to bottom.
See the executive trackOne 60-minute live session every other Thursday, plus a short pre-work video before each.
Every session is recorded and shared, so you can catch up on your own time.
Yes. No coding required. It is built for operations managers, not data scientists.
It is live, peer-led, and focused on your real work. You leave with an executable plan, not a certificate.
