A senior team that can build a strategy and bring it to leadership.
Vice presidents, chief academic officers, chief operating officers, chief information officers, chief financial officers, and other senior leaders with access to the cabinet.
Participants should be able to work as a team, build a strategy, and bring it to leadership for approval. Each participant needs an executive sponsor, such as a president or chancellor, who supports the work and protects the time needed to do it well.
What the Institute Delivers
You have been asked to produce your institution's AI strategy. This is where you build it.
Core question: Are we ready, and where do we begin?
THE CURRICULUM
Six modules that build one strategy, part by part.
Each module produces one section of your final document through a short, guided assignment. The strategy is built across six parts, with an executive summary at the end.
Readiness
Assess where your institution stands with the AI Adoption Rubric, and choose the path that fits.
Outside Trends
Situate your institution in the national landscape and the forces shaping AI in higher education.
Vision and Priorities
Define what AI is for at your institution, and set the priorities that will guide every decision.
Governance
Establish the policies, roles, and guardrails that let people act with confidence and clarity.
Implementation and Change Management
Plan the rollout and the change work that brings people along and makes adoption stick.
Budget Case and Executive Summary
Make the case for funding and package the strategy into a document ready to present.
THE EXPERIENCE
About four months, built to fit a leader's actual week.
One module at a time. You complete the reading, videos, and tools on your own schedule, then meet live with a T3 facilitator and peers from other institutions to apply the work. Your cohort also meets on its own to align before sharing work for feedback.
QUESTIONS
Frequently asked.
No. You come in with a real assignment and a basic understanding of the technology. The program helps you decide what to do next, one module at a time.
Plan on about three hours of self-paced work per module, capped at four, plus one 90-minute live facilitated session. Modules run one at a time over roughly four months.
Senior leaders with access to the cabinet: vice presidents, chief academic, operating, information, and financial officers. The team should be able to build a strategy together and bring it to leadership for approval.
Each participant needs a sponsor such as a president or chancellor who supports the work and protects the time needed to do it well. The sponsor is also the natural audience for the final strategy.
The programs are designed to be experienced sequentially, but you do not have to take them in order. If you already have a strategy or a clear charge to act, the AI Stewardship & Implementation may be the better starting point.
A board-ready AI strategy: either a Foundational or a Comprehensive version, depending on the path you choose in Module 1. In most cases it is the document you were already asked to create.
WHAT YOU LEAVE WITH
A board-ready AI strategy.
A strategy document you can share with a president, board, or chancellor. In most cases, it is the document you were already asked to create. The path you choose in Module 1 sets the depth.
PATH A
Foundational AI Strategy
Helps leaders decide to act, choose a clear starting point, and plan a strong first phase.
PATH B
Comprehensive AI Strategy
Brings separate AI efforts into one institution-wide strategy, with a rollout plan, governance, and a clear case for funding.
