Are your executives & managers asking about training geared more for their roles as leaders of your Public Sector organization?

Microsoft has sessions like,  AB-731T00: Drive AI Transformation in Your Organization (formerly AI-3017 AI for business leaders) for sponsored organizations that are members of the Enterprise Skills Initiative, however often times leaders have concerns about finding the time for live, instructor-led sessions – preferring pre-recorded training sessions that they can take advantage of at their own pace and schedule.
