Despite Perth turning on the rain (and a little extra traffic chaos ☔🚗), our first Curtin Executive Education course for 2026 kicked off this morning with energy and enthusiasm.

Today’s cohort is diving into AI to Drive Business Innovation, a one-day intensive designed to move beyond hype and into practical, risk-aware application.

Facilitated by Dr Michael Borck, a recognised authority in information systems and artificial intelligence, the session blends deep technical expertise with practical business insight. With more than two decades’ experience across machine learning, software engineering, consulting and research, Michael brings both strategic perspective and hands-on realism to the room.

It’s inspiring to see professionals carving out time to build capability in one of the most transformative areas shaping organisations today.
