Request a briefing

Bring the question your leadership team is trying to answer.

Business schools rarely arrive with a single, tidy AI problem. A dean may see strong faculty activity but little direct evidence of student capability. An assessment leader may be unsure whether an existing measure still supports the inference the program needs to make. A program chair may know that priority courses are changing without knowing whether expectations, assessment, and human oversight are developing consistently.

A Navigate AI briefing starts with that decision context. Share what is happening, what the school already has in place, and what leadership needs to understand next. We review the information before the conversation so the discussion can focus on the most useful first move.

01

Share the context

Tell us what prompted the conversation, who is involved, and what decision or quality question is becoming harder to answer.

02

We review before the call

Navigate AI considers whether the issue is primarily about institutional evidence, student capability, course quality, assessment, faculty support, or the improvement cycle.

03

Clarify the first move

The conversation identifies the most sensible next step, including when a focused engagement or an institution-led action is more appropriate than a full Diagnostic.

Questions worth bringing

Start with the decision, rather than trying to diagnose the problem yourself.

The briefing is designed for leaders who can see meaningful AI activity but need a clearer way to interpret what that activity adds up to. You do not need to know which Navigate AI service fits before the conversation.

“What can we actually substantiate?”Use the AI Capability & Evidence Diagnostic when leadership needs an independent baseline across the school or a defined program scope.
“Do our assessments still show what students know and can do?”The AI Assessment Evidence Sprint focuses on direct measures, process evidence, verification, and the visibility of student judgment.
“Are our priority courses ready for AI-enabled learning?”CourseReady AI reviews course expectations, learning design, assessment evidence, and appropriate human oversight.
“Have we turned AI expectations into student capability?”AI-Ready Graduate connects capability definitions to curriculum progression and observable evidence.
“Is faculty capability the constraint?”The Faculty AI Fluency Studio provides targeted support when faculty practice, shared expectations, or implementation capacity is the identified gap.
Who the briefing is for

A focused conversation for the people responsible for quality and academic decisions.

The strongest conversations usually involve someone who can connect the immediate concern to a broader academic decision. That may be a dean or associate dean, an assurance-of-learning leader, a department chair, a program director, or a faculty-development leader.

What to expect

The goal is to leave with a clearer problem definition and a sensible next step. When the best move is something the school can do internally, the conversation can identify that route as well.

A little context helps us prepare.

You do not need to prepare documents for an initial briefing. A short description of the question, current activity, and timing is enough.

What happens next

What to expect after you reach out.

The goal is to make the next step clear, not complicated.

Will I get a hard sell?

No. The point of the conversation is to understand your context and recommend the right fit. That may be a cohort, a sprint, a workshop, a resource, or simply a better starting point.

Do I need to know exactly what I want?

No. It is completely fine to start with the problem instead of the product. In many cases, the right first step is clarifying scope, audience, and urgency.

Can this start small?

Yes. Many partnerships start with a workshop, pilot cohort, or limited sprint before expanding into broader institutional work.

Can individuals still use this page?

Yes. This page also works for certification questions, speaking requests, media inquiries, report questions, and business or marketing-related interest.
