Our Approach
You'll move, debate, build, and decide. No lecture halls. No passive learning.
Leaders physically position themselves on a live matrix mapping competitive, technological, and regulatory forces shaping AI in their industry. Defend perspectives. Shift positions through facilitated debate.
Tackle real AI leadership challenges from companies like yours. Make high-stakes decisions in groups under time pressure. Review what actually happened and analyze why outcomes succeeded or failed.
Prototype AI-enhanced solutions through rapid iteration and lightweight user testing. Experience how teams can validate direction quickly and responsibly — without massive upfront investment.
Program Principles
Demystify key AI concepts including agents, model capabilities, evaluation, deployment trade-offs through simulation-based exercises. No engineering degree required. Build durable intuition to lead credible strategic conversations under uncertainty.
Design thinking is an empirically proven innovation method for redefining best practices, precisely the challenge organizations face in the AI era. Participants learn through experience: empathetic problem-framing, context-aware originality, and rapid iteration.
AI changes baseline economics, risk postures, and operating models including security assumptions, software delivery costs, coordination costs. We provide a structured forum to explore second-order implications and convert them into actionable leadership choices.
Executives build working prototypes using accessible AI tools, so problem owners understand how to drive solution formation, not just technical teams. Prototyping is anchored in rigorous problem definition and user feedback loops.
Custom Programs
Designed as a self-contained executive workshop. Participants leave with shared language, decision tools, and workshop-created artifacts they can apply immediately — regardless of your organization's current AI maturity.
We'll be in touch within 1–2 business days.
