Using AI in your own work is one thing. Leading AI adoption in your organization is another. The next step for organizational AI champions is certification.
That’s why today, we’re launching Box Certified AI Strategist, a free, self-paced certification for the people tasked with taking AI from a personal productivity tool to an organizational capability.
Our existing certification, Box Certified AI Professional, equips individuals to use Box AI to its fullest capability, including how to prompt effectively and build a basic agent.
But then, your manager says “This is great! So how do we roll it out to 500 more people by Q3?”
The answer is Box Certified AI Strategist. This free training addresses the implementation layer between individual proficiency and organizational transformation.
AI is a leadership problem, not a tooling problem
AI adoption is accelerating across the enterprise. Box's State of AI in the Enterprise research shows that organizations who moved early on AI are already seeing meaningful productivity gains.
But scaling AI doesn’t just mean bringing the latest-and-greatest tools into the organization. It’s actually a leadership problem requiring people who can assess readiness, design solutions that work for a whole team, drive adoption through change management, and govern the program responsibly as it grows.
This free certification is designed to create AI leaders who can confidently deploy AI across their organization. It’s for:
- Workflow owners and team leads responsible for deploying AI across their department
- Business technologists ready to move from using AI to designing and enabling it for others
- Champions and project leads tasked with rolling out Box AI at the team or enterprise level
- Anyone who has completed AI Professional and wants to deepen their organizational impact
4 on-demand courses
Box Certified AI Strategist includes four on-demand courses (about 3 hours total).
- Becoming an AI Leader: Roles, Readiness, and Strategy
Make the mindset shift from AI user to AI leader. Map stakeholders, audit your content with the Content Audit Framework, evaluate technical readiness, and prioritize your first use cases with a value-versus-effort matrix. - Designing AI Solutions for Teams
Take an approved use case and build a production-ready agent configured for organizational use, including scale and governance decisions, effective agent instructions, a shared AI playbook, and how to connect Box to your existing tools with the Box MCP Server. - Rolling Out AI Solutions: From Pilot to Impact
Plan a phased rollout, communicate to executives and end users, handle resistance, build champions, enable your team, and prove ROI with real formulas and examples. - Governing and Scaling AI Responsibly
Establish a governance framework. Build ethical guardrails around bias, transparency, accountability, and privacy. And keep your program healthy over time.
Self-paced learning means you can work through the full path, take only the courses relevant to your current challenge, or go straight to the exam when you feel ready.
