Udemy Business Leadership Academy and AWS
collaborate to empower leaders with generative AI skills to
innovate, inspire, and drive business agility
Udemy (Nasdaq: UDMY), a leading online skills marketplace and
learning platform, today announced the launch of a new generative
artificial intelligence (AI) upskilling program developed in
collaboration with Amazon Web Services (AWS). Offered through Udemy
Business Leadership Academy (UBLA), Unlocking GenAI Opportunities
with AWS is a six-week cohort learning program designed to equip
leaders across all industries with the generative AI (GenAI) tools
and change management strategies they need to successfully develop
talent and drive the digital transformation within their
organization.
"GenAI is revolutionizing industries and transforming the
business landscape at an unprecedented pace,” said Greg Brown,
President and CEO at Udemy. “The UBLA cohort program, developed in
collaboration with AWS, will equip leadership teams with the skills
they need to navigate this transformation successfully while
fostering innovation, enhancing productivity, and driving revenue
growth. We are thrilled to be working in collaboration with AWS to
support organizations around the world, helping to drive strategic
outcomes and inspire their teams to achieve new heights."
As GenAI continues to accelerate the pace of change across
industries and organizations, 71% of executives have identified the
technology as a top area of investment in 2024. However, a recent
Udemy report revealed that while most employees (88%) agree that
effective leadership will be critical to the success of their GenAI
initiatives, nearly half (45%) doubt the readiness of senior
management to seize the opportunities and mitigate the risks
brought on by GenAI.
In the long term, organizations that fail to harness the power
of GenAI face several risks, including reduced profitability,
talent attrition, slower product development, loss of market share,
and increased disruption in the supply chain. To successfully
navigate these issues, leaders must acquire the necessary technical
skills and be able to effectively communicate and spearhead this
change in a manner that inspires and engages employees.
“Generative AI is the most transformative technology we’re
likely to see in our lifetimes. Leaders who build their knowledge,
skills, and a mindset of resilience and adaptability, will position
themselves—and their organizations—to harness its immense
potential,” said Maureen Lonergan, Vice President of Training and
Certification at AWS. “We’re excited to work with Udemy to realize
a shared vision of building a global, AI-ready workforce. Unlocking
GenAI Opportunities with AWS is an ideal starting point for leaders
everywhere to build their generative AI strategy and set their
organization on a path of accelerated innovation.”
How leaders can accelerate growth with this new GenAI
program
To help overcome these challenges, this new program––Unlocking
GenAI Opportunities with AWS––will help empower leaders with the
knowledge, skills, and tools they need to harness the full
potential of GenAI to achieve critical business objectives and
boost employee engagement.
The program is designed to address three critical learning
objectives:
- Becoming GenAI savvy. Organizations need tech-savvy
leaders proficient in GenAI tools. This program provides access to
PartyRock, powered by Amazon Bedrock, where participants engage in
practical exercises in prompt engineering and capability
exploration to help them learn how to reimagine businesses, boost
productivity, redefine customer experiences, and create new
business models. Amazon Bedrock is a fully managed service that
offers a choice of high-performing foundation models (FMs) from
leading AI companies via a single API, along with a broad set of
capabilities organizations need to build generative AI applications
with security, privacy, and responsible AI.
- Championing innovation. Leaders also need to create a
clear set of operating principles, including responsible use
guidelines, to help innovation flourish within their organization.
During this program, leaders will be provided with hands-on
learning experiences to help them safely nurture innovation,
including an “innovation tournament” to practice converting ideas
into action plans.
- Inspiring change. Fostering a company culture that is
open to change––especially those brought on by GenAI––requires
inspirational leadership and skilled change management
professionals to have a lasting impact. Throughout this program,
leaders will have the opportunity to develop clear and compelling
messaging around their vision for GenAI, generating sustainable
excitement amongst their workforce about the path ahead and their
individual roles in this transformation.
Additionally, to help develop leadership teams at scale, this
program uses blended learning, combining self-paced learning
modules and social learning, including purpose-built groups,
micro-learning courses, and guidance from certified expert
moderators. Participants in the cohort learning program will also
have the opportunity to present and prioritize ideas, address AI
misconceptions, design strategies, and inspire their teams with a
forward-looking vision.
