In short
What is the AI Monetization Playbook program?
A one-day program for moving from AI for efficiency to AI for profit. Identify revenue use cases, model the ROI before you build, and set the commercial governance to do it safely.
Most AI spend chases efficiency and stops there. McKinsey sizes the generative AI prize at US$2.6 to 4.4 trillion a year across use cases (McKinsey, 2023), yet only 39% of organisations report any EBIT impact and about 6% capture significant value (McKinsey, The State of AI, 2025). The difference is moving from AI that saves time to AI that makes money. This day is that playbook. In Malaysia alone, AI could add roughly US$115 billion to GDP by 2030 (Kearney, via Microsoft / Ministry of Digital).

The point is ringgit, not slides. A Penang manufacturer reached a projected US$2 million in annual savings after a six-month AI bootcamp and six pilots, by automating work on its own line. This program designs for that kind of return. See a case study.

Who runs it
This program is run by industry practitioners who have shipped AI inside regulated enterprises across banking, government, manufacturing, and telco. It is led by Peter Kua, our AI and data science lead, a core contributor to Malaysia’s National Big Data Analytics Framework under MDEC and co-author of Malaysia’s AI Adoption Blueprints in 2019 and 2020. You are learning from people who have built this in production, not read about it. Peter’s commentary on AI adoption and workforce capability has appeared in The Star, theSun, Singapore Business Review, e27, and DagangNews, and on RTM Berita’s Tech Today.
Most AI initiatives chase efficiency. This program targets the harder, higher prize of new revenue, working from your own data assets and commercial context.
Common questions
Who is the AI Monetization Playbook for?
Senior leaders, P&L owners, and strategy or commercial heads who already use AI for efficiency and now want revenue from it. It suits organisations past the pilot stage that need to turn AI capability into commercial outcomes. No technical background is needed.
What does the program produce?
A shortlist of revenue use cases for your business, an ROI model for each built before you spend, and the commercial governance to pursue them safely. You leave with a costed plan to move from AI as a cost saver to AI as a profit line.
Why is monetisation harder than efficiency?
Because efficiency reuses existing work; revenue requires new offers, pricing, and risk. McKinsey finds only about 6% of organisations capture significant value from AI, despite near-universal adoption (McKinsey, 2025). We focus on what that small group does differently.
Is this program HRDC claimable?
Yes. It is claimable through HRD Corp under SBL and SBL-Khas. GrowthPro Asia is an HRDC-registered provider, and we help with the claim paperwork. For most registered employers the levy covers most or all of the cost.
How is this different from a general AI strategy course?
Strategy sets direction; this sets the money. We work the revenue and ROI side specifically: which use cases generate or protect income, how to model the return before building, and how to govern commercial AI. It pairs well with Data and AI Strategy.
How is the cost set?
We do not publish a fixed price. Cost depends on in-house versus scheduled delivery, group size, and customisation to your commercial context. It is HRD Corp claimable, so for most registered employers the levy covers most or all of it. Tell us your group size and format for an indicative quote.
What it costs
We do not publish a fixed price, because the program is built around your team. Three things set the cost: whether you run it in-house on your own use cases or join a scheduled cohort, the size of the group, and how far we customise to your sector and data. It is HRD Corp claimable under SBL and SBL-Khas, so for most registered employers the levy covers most or all of it. Tell us your group size and format, and we will send an indicative quote and exactly what is included.
