Turn artificial intelligence into your ultimate team player by mastering the strategies to seamlessly onboard, manage, and scale AI tools across your entire organization.

Many organisations approach artificial intelligence as a technology project, yet most AI initiatives fail because they are treated as software deployments rather than organisational change programs. Successfully integrating AI into the workforce requires structures, governance, onboarding processes, performance management, and accountability frameworks that closely resemble the way organisations manage human employees.
This innovative course reframes AI implementation through the lens of human resources and workforce management. Using the concept of AI as a “new hire,” participants will explore the full AI employee lifecycle—from onboarding and training to performance management, governance, and scaling. The session provides HR leaders and business professionals with practical frameworks for deploying AI collaborators responsibly, building organisational trust, and creating governance structures that support sustainable AI adoption.

Provincial regulators of CPAs in Canada do not require that independent providers of CPD be approved to offer courses. Instead, individual CPAs are responsible for assessing whether a CPD activity meets their requirements, and may take activities from any source provided those requirements are met.
Every course offered on LearnFormula is delivered by a qualified subject matter expert or learning organization, and advances learning objectives that are relevant to the responsibilities or professional competencies of Canadian CPAs. All activities on LearnFormula are quantifiable in terms of hours, and are also verifiable, in that users receive documented evidence of their attendance via a certificate of completion after finishing a course (and this certificate is stored by LearnFormula indefinitely). Nearly 100,000 Canadian CPAs successfully satisfy their CPD requirements via LearnFormula on an annual basis.
