Leading an AI-Native Organization with AI-Native Leader Certification

Translate AI ambition into strategy, funding decisions, and a leadership roadmap your organisation can act on.

Most senior leaders aren't struggling with AI itself. They're struggling with how to fund it, govern it, and lead their organisation through the shift to AI-driven ways of working.

This is a one-day facilitated working session for senior leaders. Your organisational context drives the discussion. You'll work through a shared framework covering AI strategy, governance, workforce, data, and technology, and leave with a prioritised set of decisions and commitments rather than a slide deck of theory.

Delivered in Australia and New Zealand by Pretty Agile, Charter Partner for Scaled Agile AI-Native training.

What Our Clients Say

Testimonial photo
Dan Oramali Group Manager, Finance Business Partnering, Engenco Limited

AI isn't something finance professionals should avoid, it's something we should learn to work alongside. Used well, AI can accelerate insights, improve efficiency, and create space for finance leaders to focus on what matters most: strategy, decision-making, risk, and value creation

I have attended many courses over my career but have never been to one which inspired those in the room to make a major transformational difference. The course focuses not on the tools but more importantly how AI as a business imperative integrates to help business transform and grow in an exponentially changing world.

Why this course exists

Most organisations have AI ambition. Few have a shared view of what to do first, how much to invest, or who owns what.

Senior leaders are being asked to fund, govern, and accelerate AI initiatives, often without a shared language for the decisions involved or a clear framework for prioritising investment against measurable outcomes. Strategy conversations stall between vision and execution because the people who control budgets, governance, and workforce decisions aren't yet aligned on the basics.

This course exists to close that gap: giving senior leaders the fluency, the frameworks, and a structured day to align on priorities, make decisions, and commit to next steps.

Who Should Attend

This course is suited to General Managers, Directors, and senior leaders who are accountable for funding, governing, or directing AI initiatives across an enterprise. It is designed for the level where AI investment decisions are owned — not delegated.

  • General Managers, Directors, and senior leaders with P&L responsibility where AI initiatives are stalling between vision and execution
  • PMOs and transformation sponsors aligning AI investment with enterprise strategy
  • CIOs, CTOs, and technology leaders responsible for AI platform and data decisions
  • Anyone who must evaluate, approve, or manage AI initiatives across the enterprise

No technical background required. This is a leadership session, not a technology course.

What You'll Be Able to Do

After the session, you'll be able to:

  • Articulate your organisation's AI-Native maturity across strategy, workforce, governance, data, technology, culture, and agility
  • Set AI investment priorities grounded in P&L impact rather than hype
  • Define governance guardrails and responsible AI ownership that enable progress without inviting unnecessary risk
  • Shape a workforce upskilling plan that connects AI-Native training to the roles and value streams where it matters most
  • Commit to a 30-60-90 day AI leadership roadmap with named owners and specific next steps

What You'll Actually Work On

This is a working session. Everything you produce is built around your organisation's context.

  • An AI-Native Organisation heatmap diagnosing your current maturity across seven dimensions
  • An AI Money Map linking AI investments to specific, measurable business outcomes
  • A Responsible AI Governance and Risk Plan covering the first 90 days of your highest-value initiatives
  • A workforce upskilling plan identifying who needs to become AI-Native first and how
  • A 30-60-90 day AI leadership roadmap with prioritised initiatives, named owners, and explicit decisions on what to pause

Why train with Pretty Agile?

Pretty Agile is the AI-Native Charter Partner for Australia and New Zealand, selected by Scaled Agile from over 80 applicants globally.

What Pretty Agile brings to the delivery:

  • facilitators who work with senior leaders on AI strategy, governance, and investment decisions in live enterprise contexts, not trainers reading slides
  • facilitation grounded in how Australian and New Zealand enterprises are actually navigating AI at leadership level, including the governance questions, funding trade-offs, and workforce decisions that come up in practice
  • scenario work and artefacts built around the decisions this audience owns

Designed by Scaled Agile. Delivered by Pretty Agile. Focused on helping senior leaders turn AI ambition into funded, governed, measurable progress.

What You'll Learn

AI Challenges and Opportunities: Surface the real threats and opportunities facing your business model, cutting through hype to focus on what's strategically meaningful.

AI Fluency for Leaders: Build a shared executive AI lexicon (LLMs, GenAI, RAG, agents) so leadership conversations start from common ground.

AI Organisational Model in Our Context: Diagnose your organisation's AI-Native maturity across seven dimensions: strategy, workforce, governance, data, platforms, culture, and agility.

AI Vision and Strategy: Define your AI Strategic Intent, the leadership team's motivation and desired impact as it relates to your AI journey.

AI Value Patterns and Priorities: Build your AI Money Map, a prioritised portfolio connecting every AI investment to a specific measurable return.

AI Workforce: Determine who must become AI-Native first, and shape an upskilling plan that includes AI-Native Foundations and Value Architect pathways.

Human-Centric AI Culture: Explore how to build an environment where AI augments human judgement and creativity, and how to lead the cultural shift that makes adoption stick.

AI-Empowered Agility: Identify the legacy planning, funding, and governance practices that prevent your organisation from moving at the speed AI requires.

Responsible AI: Assess governance exposure and define the guardrails, ownership, and policies required to scale AI responsibly.

AI Technology Investments: Evaluate build-versus-buy trade-offs, align on starting platforms, and understand why curated data and operational AI technology set the ceiling on AI-Native performance.

AI Leadership Roadmap (30-60-90): Commit to a unified roadmap that names owners, accelerates high-value initiatives, and explicitly pauses lower-value work.

  • A leadership team or cross-functional senior group (this session works best when participants share organisational context)
  • No technical background required
  • No pre-work required

  • One day of facilitated, interactive training by a Certified AI-Native Trainer
  • Official course materials via SAFe Studio
  • All session artefacts produced during the day (heatmap, AI Money Map, governance plan, workforce plan, leadership roadmap)

After passing the certification exam, you earn Certified AI-Native Leader, issued by Scaled Agile, Inc. and delivered as a digital badge via Credly, where the credential can be verified. Renewed yearly, it recognises your ability to assess AI maturity, govern and fund enterprise AI initiatives, and lead teams through AI-driven change.

The exam is an online, 45-question multiple-choice assessment with a 90-minute time limit, taken after the course, with a coaching report to guide study. The course is foundational level with no prerequisites, so you're eligible to sit the exam once you complete it. See Scaled Agile's full exam details for the pass mark and attempt policy.

Duration: 1 day, delivered in person.

Public classes run in Melbourne and Sydney. In-person delivery is a Scaled Agile curriculum requirement — the session is built around live, facilitated working sessions in which shared context in the room drives the quality of the work produced.

This course is particularly well-suited to private delivery, where the leadership group comes from the same organisation. When participants share context, goals, and constraints, the artefacts produced during the day reflect your organisation's actual situation rather than a composite of different companies. Private delivery is available in person or online. For private delivery enquiries, contact us directly.

AI-Native training gives leaders a shared language for AI decisions and a method to turn AI ambition into a funded, governed strategy. Leading the AI-Native Organisation helps general managers and directors set direction, prioritise investment, and hold delivery teams accountable, so that AI initiatives produce measurable business outcomes rather than stalled pilots and unused licences.
