Find candidates by observing where processes lose time rather than by collecting ideas
AI for Business Institute · D3
Use Cases, Efficiencies & ROI
Domain 3 of the AI for Business Institute practitioner standard. Find candidates by observing where processes lose time rather than by collecting ideas; prioritise on impact, feasibility, alignment and risk; measure gains against a baseline captured before deployment; build an ROI case that survives a finance review; and run a pipeline that moves pilots into production rather than accumulating them.

What you get
$250, and exactly what that buys.
- 5 modules, 22 lessons
One module per framework criterion, about 3.8 hours of material.
- Applied practice, not just reading
Applied scenarios, Branching decisions, Card sorting and more.
- Work at your own pace
Progress is saved as you go, so you can stop and resume on any device.
- Access that does not expire
Once bought, the course stays in your account. There is no renewal to keep it.
- Counts toward the full programme
Complete all nine domains and the Institute issues your programme completion certificate.
This does not include the accreditation exam. This course builds and evidences capability. Accreditation is a separate assessment, available with the full programme for $2,000, and the credential is awarded only if you pass it.

How you will learn
Learn. Practice. Prove.
Learn
Short, evidence-led lessons establish the standard and the reasoning behind it.
Practice
Interactive decisions, sorting and scenarios turn concepts into applied judgement.
Prove
A cumulative final exam checks mastery, followed by a spoken capstone.

Curriculum
A concise view of the complete course.
Use case identification methodology
Where high-value AI candidates actually sit, how observing process loss beats ideation and vendor demonstrations, what separates a scoped use case from an aspiration, and how data lead times change the sequence.
Prioritisation framework
The four criteria that make a prioritisation defensible, what feasibility properly means, why sponsorship is a precondition rather than a score, and the failure mode of every numerical scoring model.
Live portfolio and adoption
Moving pilots into production rather than accumulating them, distinguishing a deployed system from an adopted one, why the second wave is harder than the first, and what a functioning portfolio looks like.
Benefit measurement — ROI and efficiency
Why a baseline captured before deployment is what makes a benefit claim falsifiable, how to report honestly when changes are confounded, what finance actually challenges in an hours-saved calculation, and how to present payback across adoption scenarios.
Run-cost management (AI FinOps)
Why generative run cost rises with success, which costs are missing from total cost of ownership, the design decisions that dominate the bill, and the unit metric that separates healthy growth from waste.
