AMPI PIC · Give each week a clear focus.

8 weeks · About 7 hours per week

Week 1

Digital strategy and continuous updating (AI, data, cloud)

  • Map the AI, data, and cloud building blocks of a digital strategy into a one-page reference you write yourself, defining each term in your own words.

  • Explain how a data platform (ingestion, storage, governance, analytics) supports business decisions, using one worked example from an industry you know.

  • Distinguish continuous updating from one-off transformation by listing signals that a strategy needs revision (new regulation, model release, cost shift).

  • Draft five exam-style questions on digital strategy vocabulary and answer them without notes.

Your checkpoint

A 2-page personal glossary plus five self-written practice questions with answer keys, scored against your own notes.

Week 2

Digital strategy and continuous updating (AI, data, cloud)

  • Compare three cloud service models and justify which fits a given budget and compliance constraint.

  • Evaluate an AI use case for feasibility, data readiness, and risk, and write a short recommendation.

  • Describe how to run a small pilot that proves value before scaling, including the metrics you would track.

  • Identify the governance questions (data ownership, bias, auditability) a manager must raise before approving an AI project.

Your checkpoint

A one-page AI pilot proposal with success metrics, risks, and a go/no-go recommendation.

Week 3

High-value professional network and alliances

  • Identify the ten people whose expertise or access would most accelerate your current work, and classify each by what you offer them.

  • Write a short outreach message that states a specific ask and a specific give, and send it to at least three contacts.

  • Explain how alliances differ from vendor relationships in terms of shared risk, shared upside, and exit conditions.

  • Prepare three questions that test whether a prospective partner is genuinely aligned rather than merely interested.

Your checkpoint

A network map of ten named contacts with a give-and-ask note for each, plus three sent outreach messages.

Week 4

Digital strategy and continuous updating (AI, data, cloud) & High-value professional network and alliances

  • Combine digital-strategy and network content by drafting talking points for a partner conversation about a data or AI initiative.

  • Rehearse a five-minute verbal explanation of a cloud or AI decision to a non-technical stakeholder and record it.

  • Review weeks 1-3 notes and rewrite every concept you could not explain aloud without prompts.

  • Answer 20 mixed practice questions under timed conditions and log each error by cause.

Your checkpoint

A five-minute recorded briefing plus an error log classifying at least 20 practice-question misses.

Week 5

Trust, results, success cases and best practices

  • Structure a success case in situation-action-result form and state the measured outcome explicitly.

  • Select metrics that demonstrate trustworthiness (reliability, transparency, follow-through) rather than activity volume.

  • Explain how to document a project so results can be verified by someone outside the team.

  • Identify three failure patterns in digital projects and the early warning sign for each.

Your checkpoint

One written success case of 400-600 words with quantified results and a verification note.

Week 6

Trust, results, success cases and best practices

  • Design a short client or stakeholder feedback loop and specify what you would change based on responses.

  • Distinguish a best practice from a context-specific practice and justify when copying a practice fails.

  • Draft a one-page results summary aimed at an executive, leading with outcome and cost.

  • Critique two of your own past projects for trust gaps and write the corrective action you would take now.

Your checkpoint

An executive one-pager plus a self-critique of two past projects with corrective actions.

Week 7

Digital experience design: web, UI/UX, branding and marketing

  • Sketch a web page structure that leads a visitor from problem to proof to action in three scrolls.

  • Apply three usability heuristics to a real site you use and document each violation with a fix.

  • Write brand messaging that states audience, promise, and proof in under 60 words.

  • Plan a small marketing test with one metric, one audience, and one timeframe.

Your checkpoint

A wireframe sketch plus a 60-word brand message and a one-page marketing test plan.

Week 8

Digital strategy and continuous updating (AI, data, cloud) & High-value professional network and alliances & Trust, results, success cases and best practices & Digital experience design: web, UI/UX, branding and marketing

  • Synthesize all four domains into a single integrated case answer and time yourself at exam pace.

  • Review your error log and re-answer every missed question type until correct twice.

  • Condense each domain into ten flashcards and self-test until you reach full recall.

  • Write a personal exam-day checklist covering pacing, question triage, and flagging for review.

Your checkpoint

A full timed mock case answer plus 40 flashcards and a final error-log review sheet.

Milestones

Week 2: You can explain cloud models and an AI pilot decision aloud in five minutes without notes.

Week 4: Ten-contact network map complete, three outreach messages sent, and timed practice accuracy at or above 65 percent.

Week 6: One quantified success case and one executive one-pager finished and reviewed by a peer or mentor.

Week 8: Full timed mock completed within limits, all logged errors re-answered correctly twice, and 40 flashcards at full recall.
